4. When Lean and Rich TEG Water content is equal during circulation sign
of decomposed glycol or insufficient reconcentration.
5. When chemical analysis of glycol for Salt content shows Salt content in the
region of one weight percent in glycol. High salt content in the glycol
generally restricts heat transfer, cause degradation of glycol and frequent
firetube failures.
6. When Lab Test indicates Glycol is laden with excessive corrosive acids due
to excessive Oxygen and H2S presence in process gas stream. Oxygen
oxidizes the glycol and forms corrosive acids while H2S lowers the glycol pH
value and turns the glycol black.
