The triethylene glycol (TEG) in the operated Bruce platform glycol dehydrator towers was seen to steadily increase to over pH 10. This rise in pH was found to be attributable to the carry over of triazine based H2S scavenger chemical, used to treat sour process gas. This paper details the root cause failure analysis as well as the various mitigation strategies researched and developed and the final field deployment. High glycol pH increased the risk of process upsets because it had an affect on the resultant gas dew point and therefore promoted concern over the dehydration efficiency at re-boiler temperatures of 200°C. Further potential issues included foaming, regeneration efficacy, solids precipitation and increased scale potential.

Periodic cleaning of sales gas lines often yields large quantities of material known as black powder. This paper describes a research study that was conducted to provide estimates for corrosion rates of carbon steel in TEG-water mixtures with TEG content in the range 0.0 wt% to 99.5 wt%.
