Essential Expertise in Dilution Steam

AQUAMAX™ technology from Nalco is widely recognized for emulsion, fouling, and corrosion control from the quench water tower to the dilution steam generators. Nalco has been the leader in innovative treatment programs including our cost-effective, sodium-free corrosion control program for dilution steam systems (systems operating with low corrosion severity) as well as unique, differentiated programs for fouling and foaming control.

Over the past 20-30 years, Nalco has not only treated dilution steam systems, but we have also surveyed systems worldwide in order to benchmark ethylene producers’ key performance indicators (KPIs) against their respective regions and the world. These KPI benchmarks have been a key component of our Best Practice Gap Analysis (BPGA) Work Process where we audit systems and benchmark design and operation against industry-proven best practices.
