System Preservation with

Cetamine® Technology

11
Cetamine® Technology – Introduction

• Cetamine® products are based on filmforming

amines (CFA)
• Establishment of a protective layer on system
surfaces
• Thereby creating a barrier against corrosive
media
• Allowing flexible plant modes during continuous • Formation of a protective film
operation, cycling mode and shut-down periods on system surfaces (surface
bound)
• System can be kept either filled or emptied
• Residual of free molecules in
• Single component and blended Cetamine® water or steam phase (not
products available surface bound)

Phase 1 – Systems NOT treated with Cetamine® before (example for demin water)
• Build-up protective CFA layer Phase 1
• Recommended time period 3 weeks Dose rates in dependence of operation time

dose rate on feedwater flow [g/m³]

• Dosage into condensate line or low pressure
part of feedwater line
• System should be running at least 20% of total
time period
• Dose rate is dependent on operation time,
water quality and selected Cetamine® product

• Residual of CFA verified in water samples operation time [%]

Dose rates of Cetamine® products on feedwater in dependence of

System has full protection for “cycling mode” the average operation time of the system during phase 1

under system specific maintenance dose rate

Cycling Mode

Regular short term stand-still periods over night and over the weekend

Mid term stand-still periods over several weeks

• Plants under continuous Cetamine® Treatment or passed phase 1

• Dosage of Cetamine® just as maintenance dosage
• Positive detection of CFA residual with Cetamine® Analytical Method or
Cetamine® Trace Analysis
• Full flexibility for stand-still periods of up to 4 weeks without additional measures
• If longer stand-still periods are planned/expected preparation for lay-up (phase 2)
