Introduction
A plywood manufacturer received a thermic fluid sample report indicating a high Total Acid Number (TAN) exceeding 2.5, along with elevated carbon levels. Concerned about the implications of increased acidity—such as pipeline punctures, metal corrosion, and potential coil leaks—the company sought assistance from Dr. Thermic Fluid – Eximious.
Background
High TAN levels can significantly impact thermic fluid systems, leading to operational failures and costly repairs. Addressing these issues promptly was crucial for the manufacturer to maintain efficiency and safety.
Challenges
- High Total Acid Number (TAN): Exceeding 2.5, indicating increased acidity.
- Elevated Carbon Levels: Contributing to potential corrosion and system damage.
- Risk of System Failures: Concerns over pipeline punctures and leaks.
Solution
To address these challenges, Dr. Thermic Fluid – Eximious implemented a comprehensive approach:
- Installation of System FACT-O Micro-Filtration System: This system was deployed to effectively remove carbon deposits and viscous oil from the thermic fluid.
- Dosing with THERMCLEAN OL: This specialized treatment was applied to remove carbon buildup and provide corrosion protection for the system.
Results
- Decreased TAN Value: Gradually reduced the TAN to 0.9, restoring the thermic fluid to its optimal condition.
- Improved System Integrity: Enhanced protection against corrosion and operational issues.
Conclusion
Use of System FACT-O filtration and SYSTEM AN-O solved the issue of acidity and carbon buildup in the thermic fluid system. For effective solutions in thermic fluid management, contact Dr. Thermic Fluid – EVPL.
