Silcarbon@ Antifoam RA300. can be used to avoid foam lonnation or to destrov loarn in a

wide range of industrial applications.

Cood results are achieved in various surfactant containing systems (in non-ionic and anionic
surfactants as tvcllas in rnixtures thereof). Silcarbon@ Antifbarn RA300 can be applied at PH
values ranging fiorn approx. 3 to 13.

Typical areas ol application fbr Silcarbon@ Antifbarn RA300 include gas sweetening and
cleaners. Silcarbon@ Antilbarn RA300 can be used at temperatLlres of up to 100"C rvithout
becoming unstable. Optinturn operating tenrperatures for gas srveetening applications are 40-
70'c.

Amine Gas Sweetening

,- Petroletttl retinery by-product gases *,hich are generated by various refinery processing

operations as wellas raw natural gas require rerroval of certain contaminants. prirnarily
hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and occasionally carbon dioxide (CO2)
'? The removal ol H2S and CO2 by arnine gas treating ref-ers to a process that use aqueous
solutions olvarious arnines (MIrA. DIIA. MDITA. DIPA. DCA)
'r The choice of'the t1'pe of'arnine as u'ellas the arninc concentration in thc absorbent

aqueous solution have a great influence on rvhether:

o CO2 becomes as cornpletel), absorbed as H2S

. H2S is prefbrentially absorbed to CO2

F the amine gas sweetening process is based on absorption and chenrical reactiorr rvhich

is reversible at elevated temperatures which allows:

. to regenerate and recycle thc arnine fbr additional acid gas removal
. to convert the H2S-rich stripped gas strearn into elemental sulfirr (Claus Process)

Foaming Problems in Amine Units

treating unit can be attributed to contaminants generated by degradation / reaction

processes or / and by treating chernicals

might be caused by:

. undesired degradation / reaction processes
. irnpuritics carricd over b1, upstrearn relining processes
o other surf-ace-active nraterials

o f.luctLration in difl'erential pressure across the column

. high solvent (anrine) losses

r reduced operating capacity

Fouling in Amine Units

. inorganic deposits such as salts. rnetallic oxides. sulphides

r polyrners as result ol'undesired degradation processes
. suspended srnall particles

. pure silicone oil

o reduced heat transf-er

r flow resistances
o biological tbuling and corrosion

Dosage/Handling

Silcarbon@ Antifoam RA300 can bc applied to the tbarning rnedia either in its undiluted forrn
or as prc-dilutiorr. In nrost cascs it is advantageoLrs to apply Silcarbon Antilbarn RA300 as a
pre-dilution (l : I to l: l0) in order to achieve the most econornical and exact dosagc of the
antiloarn.

As a rcsult of the rnultitude of applications olSilcarbon@ Antifbarn RA300, it is difflcult to

give a general recorlmendation fbr the dosage of this antifbarn. Therefbre, the required addition
level should be evaluated by suitable test rnethods. Horvever, as an initial test concentration the
range of 20-100 pprn Silcarbon@ Antifbarn RA300 is recommended.
