Acrylonitrile Solutions

Fouling in an acrylonitrile (AN) production facility is a common challenge for producers. Both AN and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) are reactive monomers that can polymerize under production conditions, resulting in process fouling. The most prevalent treatment for acrylonitrile polymer fouling is hydroquinone (HQ), which is only partially effective and can cause serious health and safety issues in its application. The innovative Nalco Water high performance inhibitor technology challenges the existing industry standard for polymer control.

About our Acrylonitrile production offerings

Nalco Water has more experience with acrylonitrile unit fouling control than any other company in the world. Through years of research and development efforts, Nalco Water has developed and proudly offers the industry's best in fouling control technology:

 

Patented multifunctional polymer inhibitor technology

The Nalco Water ACRYL-EXT Program inhibitor package represents a major improvement over standard inhibitors to offer more effective polymer inhibition and ease of use when compared with commodity alternatives.

 

Dispersants specially designed for acrylonitrile processes

Nalco Water dispersant technology for acrylonitrile improves fouling control in the recovery section of the process, where performance is limited with an inhibitor alone. 

 

Antifoams

Nalco Water antifoams for the acrylonitrile process are more effective than commodity offerings at lower injection rates.
