Sammendrag
For ethanolamine (MEA) many degradation products have been identified and quantified, and the formation of these compounds at different process conditions should be verified. This presentation shows that lab scale experiments, especially cycled degradation rigs, are capable of mimicking formation of the major degradation compounds found in larger pilot campaigns. A larger build-up of HEEDA in the cycled degradation experiment, compared to pilot samples, was observed. Observations like this could play a role to understand why deviations between lab scale and pilot plant or pilot plants occurs.
