Precision Application of Defoamers in Natural Gas Processing

The efficacy of defoamers in natural gas systems depends on integrated engineering and process synergy. Chemi Tech’s application protocols include:

1. Dosing Point Optimization

Separator Inlet Priority: Injection before gas-liquid cyclones ensures >15s contact time;

Atomized Spray Technology: 0.2-0.5μm droplet nozzles improve dispersion uniformity, reducing dosage by 30%.

2. Process Parameter Synergy

Temperature-Pressure Coordination: Cool to 70°C-80°C when temperatures exceed 100°C to enhance defoamer spreading;

Flow Rate Matching: Increase concentration to 0.05% at pipeline velocities >3m/s to prevent turbulent deactivation.

3. Performance Monitoring and Longevity

Online Metrics: Foam suppression success is confirmed when separator liquid level fluctuation <5%;

Anti-Aging Design: Hindered phenol groups in siloxane copolymers scavenge free radicals, maintaining stability >6 months.

Cost Efficiency: Chemi Tech’s Si-C bond stabilized formulations provide 72-hour foam suppression per dose, reducing replenishment frequency by 50% and lowering operational costs by 35%.
