Ultrafiltration for TEG
At CROFT Production Systems, we’re committed to helping our clients maximize the performance and longevity of their dehydration systems. Our newest service offering, Ultrafiltration for TEG (Triethylene Glycol), provides advanced fluid purification to ensure your glycol system operates cleaner, longer, and more efficiently.
What is TEG Ultrafiltration?
Ultrafiltration is a specialized process that removes ultra-fine particulates, degradation products, and other contaminants from triethylene glycol. Unlike standard filtration, ultrafiltration targets the submicron particles and impurities that traditional filters miss.
Why It Matters for Your Operation
Over time, contaminants accumulate in TEG, leading to:
-
Reduced glycol efficiency
-
Increased corrosion and foaming issues
-
Higher maintenance and replacement costs
-
Shortened equipment lifespan
By removing these hidden impurities, ultrafiltration helps maintain glycol purity, which directly improves system performance and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is TEG ultrafiltration?
TEG ultrafiltration is an advanced purification process that removes ultra-fine particulates, degradation products, and contaminants from triethylene glycol (TEG). This process goes beyond standard filters, targeting impurities that can reduce system efficiency and cause operational problems.
2. Why does my glycol system need ultrafiltration?
Over time, TEG collects degradation products, corrosion byproducts, and fine solids that normal filtration cannot remove. These impurities cause foaming, corrosion, and reduced dehydration efficiency. Ultrafiltration restores glycol purity, keeping your system running smoothly.
3. How often should TEG be ultrafiltered?
The frequency depends on operating conditions, gas composition, and system maintenance history. CROFT can evaluate your system and recommend a schedule based on contamination levels.
4. Can ultrafiltration extend the life of my glycol?
Yes. By removing impurities, ultrafiltration significantly extends the usable life of TEG, reducing replacement costs and downtime.
5. Will ultrafiltration improve system efficiency?
Absolutely. Cleaner glycol means more effective water removal, reduced foaming, fewer corrosion issues, and overall improved dehydration unit performance.
6. Is ultrafiltration a replacement for regular glycol maintenance?
No. Ultrafiltration complements CROFT’s glycol analysis and preventive maintenance programs. Together, they provide a complete solution for glycol system reliability.
7. Does ultrafiltration require shutting down my unit?
Depending on your system setup, CROFT can provide ultrafiltration services during scheduled maintenance or as part of an on-site service plan to minimize downtime.
8. What documentation will I receive?
CROFT provides detailed reports including before-and-after glycol condition data, inspection results, and maintenance recommendations.
