Pyrophoric Control - FQE Chemicals

https://fqechemicals.com/contaminants/pyrophoric-control

What is Pyrophoric Iron? The oxidation of the sulphide anion by the oxygen in the air releases a tremendous amount of heat. The amount of heat can be enough to make the iron deposits glow red. While the iron itself cannot catch fire, if there is a fuel source present (e.g., residual oils, hydrocarbon gases), the heat created is adequate to ignite the fuel source, and fire must be avoided at all costs. Pyrophoric Iron Control with FQE Pyrophoric. FQE Pyrophoric is chemically compatible with the other dega...

Featured Contaminants - FQE Chemicals

https://fqechemicals.com/contaminants

Asphaltenes are found in storage tanks and also deposit in process equipment such as desalters, and heat exchangers – causing process inefficiencies such as heat transfer loss and process upsets. Normally occurring radioactive material is a common problem in the oil and gas industry and can be found in vessels, tanks and process pipework. Dithiazine solids – formed due to the use of amine-based scavengers – begin to reduce flow within piping and eventually plug off pipelines and towers.
