Fouling in stabilizer towers is a common challenge in hydroprocessing units, impacting throughput, heat transfer, and overall unit reliability. Deposits can accumulate in tower internals and reboilers, reducing separation efficiency and increasing the risk of unplanned outages. These foulants often include inorganic salts, iron sulfide, and organic materials that form under varying operating conditions.
Nalco Water programs apply targeted chemistries and monitoring strategies to address fouling at its source. Dispersants and treatment approaches help minimize deposit formation, maintain system efficiency, and reduce the risk of ammonium chloride salting and under deposit corrosion, supporting more stable operation and longer run lengths.
