Application

Activator INS-13 is a promoter of potassium carbonate solution dedicated for the use in industrial plants for CO₂ removal from process gas using the Benfield/Carsol method.

Characteristics

• Mixture of amines with carbon chain length of C₂-C₈, containing 1-5 primary and secondary amine groups.
• A liquid soluble in water and in potassium carbonate solution.
• It does not modify the corrosive properties of carbonate solution and there is no need to change anticorrosive protection system of the plant.
• Delivered in 220 kg barrels.
• Operational advantages:
  • reduction of CO₂ content at the absorber outlet,
  • increased plant efficiency,
  • reduced circulation of washing solution and energy consumption in the regeneration process,
  • reduced losses of the activator and an anti-foaming agent.
