Inlet Integrity Program
Protecting Your Process
Iron sulfide and other foulants in incoming gas streams can compromise midstream plant operations. Nalco Water’s Inlet Integrity Program helps address these challenges through a comprehensive approach that supports reliable processing and operational efficiency.
Innovative Chemistries Offer Maximum Protection
The Inlet Integrity Program helps manage contaminants at the inlet separator to protect downstream equipment and support reliable operations. The program features two chemistries that can be used together or independently, based on incoming gas stream conditions and fouling challenges.
- Iron Sulfide Inhibitor and Corrosion Protection is designed to help minimize iron sulfide formation and corrosion, while assisting in the removal of existing deposits.
- Inlet Separator Solid Removal Enhancement is designed to help improve the removal of suspended solids, reducing the potential for foulants to carry through the process.
Discover the eROI Benefits
Asset Protection
Maintain plant operations at design capacity by helping to protect assets from the damaging effect of foulants in the incoming gas stream.
Reliability
Proactively protect a plant from performance issues throughout the entire process, particularly the compressors and amine unit.
Productivity
Minimize instabilities, disruption and expense by avoiding significant costs associated with manual maintenance, downtime and repairs of the inlet separator and other equipment.
