Does methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) burn? What happens after adding water?
It can be burned. But usually, it needs to be nebulized and then sprayed into a specialized incinerator (similar to the treatment of liquid chemicals) for incineration treatment. Some other units send it to a coking furnace for incineration.
Teacher, I’m talking about injections, MDEA.
I don’t understand what you mean. Isn’t MDEA just a desulfurizing agent for amine liquid regeneration? Usually, some discarded MDEA needs to be sent to specialized facilities equipped with the capability to handle chemical waste, and the treatment method used is the incineration process mentioned above.
Methyldiethanolamine forms an explosive mixture when heated intensely, and it can catch fire upon contact with hot surfaces or an open flame\" as stated in the information available」
Yesterday, 100 units were added, using a diaphragm pump. It exhausted the old man to death.
I could only find that the auto-ignition temperature of diethanolamine is around 630°C. When water is added to a 30% concentration, it should not ignite according to the calculated auto-ignition point. It can burn when it reaches around 70%.
Well, the amine solution can be sent to the flue of the tail furnace for combustion, resulting in heavy smoke coming out of the chimney
Pure MDEA is Class C and is flammable. Based on temperature, 30% MDEA should not be flammable.
