    RCA - Amine Foaming

    Uploaded by

    Boussebha Noureddine
    The document lists various triggering and stabilizing factors for foaming in hydrocarbon processing. Some key triggering factors include hydrocarbon contamination, solids contamination from sources like corrosion products or cellulose particles, and the presence of other organic compounds. Important stabilizing factors are proper hydraulics of the system, including operating level and turndown, as well as the use of effective antifoam agents and viscosity of the amine solution.
