Comparative Analysis of 40% MEA Triazine & the Pro3® GT Suite
Q2 Technologies, formerly a subsidiary of Quaker Chemical and a pioneer in developing MEA-Triazine scavengers used globally, has continued development in this space with the introduction of Pro3® GT and Pro3® GT+. This innovative suite of products, a non-triazine solution, is designed to be a direct substitute for triazine without having the common problems that befall mismanaged triazine consumption.
Pro3® GT and Pro3® GT+ surpass traditional triazine applications by avoiding scale formation and buildup common with overspent or overdosed triazine. The product can be seamlessly integrated through continuous injection, contact tower, and/or flooded systems, making it an easy substitute for existing infrastructure.
In a lab setting, we compared the effectiveness of 40% MEA triazine to Pro3® GT and Pro3® GT+ isolating conditions to determine breakover performance.
Proving that Pro3® GT is a direct substitute to triazine.
Develop a non-triazine based product with the same effectiveness as MEA triazine but not exposed to commodity pricing.
At approximately 70 minutes both GT and triazine began breakover. GT+ continued for an additional 30 minutes before breakover.
Solids formation: comparing triazine to GT/GT+ in overspent scenarios.
Additional product was added to the solution resulting in overspent scenario.
The consistency of the treated product was observed
Triazine thickened and became solid after 4 hours and stayed solid throughout the 30-day test period.
GT/GT+ remained in a liquid state for the entirety of the test.
Temperature stress test: comparing triazine to GT/GT+ in low and high temperatures.
Took neat and treated trials of triazine and GT/GT+ and exposed them to a wide temperature array.
The consistency of the treated product was observed:
Neat triazine solidified at 0°F and the sample that was treated with triazine solidified at 50°F.
GT/GT+ remained liquid and stable throughout the entire testing.
