Regarding the issue of amine solution filtration

We can discuss this issue; we can solve it
Foaming in the amine solution may be caused by oil contamination in the amine solution or degradation of the amine solution; in my opinion, foaming should not occur if a filtering unit AFU (pre-filter + activated carbon filter + post-filter) is installed in the amine solution system.
The amine solution revival device can also just filter
Foaming occurs with the amine solution; it is not recommended to add antifoam agents, as there is a high degree of dependence on them； It is recommended that you first test the components of the amine solution to determine what impurities are causing the foaming ； Then, appropriate treatment methods are established; generally, amine solution purification can be carried out, which removes heat-stable salts, iron deposits, organic impurities, coke powder, etc., from the amine solution system. This helps to reduce foaming. Nowadays, amine solution purification can also be done online without affecting the operation of the plant.
You can contact me; I’ll take care of it for you
