Descaling of the desalination plant of the 12th South Pars Refinery | Recovering 85% of production capacity with Mitreh MDA0102s solution

The desalination plant of the 12th South Pars Gas Complex had experienced a severe decrease in performance after 7 years of complete washing. The sediments accumulated in the space between the tubes had reduced the production capacity to 45% and the GOR rate to 2.1. This critical challenge was dramatically resolved in November 2023 by performing specialized descaling operations by the Abrizan Industrial Research Company team and using Mitreh MDA0102s sediment removal solution.

The challenge before descaling

• The desalination plant had remained unwashed for 7 years.
• The space between the tubes was completely blocked.
• Performance Reduction:

•      GOR Rate: 2.1 (minimum possible)
•      Production Capacity: 45% (55% reduction)

Implemented Solution: Abrizan Expertise + Power of Mitreh Solution MDA0102s

The Abrizan Industrial Research Company team designed and implemented the operation in November 2023. Using Mitreh MDA0102s scale removal solution with a proprietary formulation to remove hard deposits, along with modern chemical washing methods without damaging the equipment, yielded unparalleled results.

Amazing Results After Descaling

• Recovery of 85% of production capacity (40% increase compared to the previous situation)
• Increase in GOR rate from 2.1 to 5.4 (157% increase)
• Complete cleaning of the space between the tubes from hard deposits.

Possibilities for further improvement in the desalination plant!

Despite the excellent results, the volume of Mitreh scale removal solution provided by the refinery was limited. Abrizan experts confirm that with sufficient solution volume, it was possible to increase the GOR to 8, which proves the unparalleled efficiency of the Mitreh MDA0102s solution.

This successful project is a clear example of Abrizan’s expertise in restoring crisis-hit systems. The intelligent use of Mitreh MDA0102s solution not only restored the desalination plant’s performance to 85%, but also showed that with careful planning, even beyond-expected optimizations can be achieved.

This achievement saved the South Pars Refinery from a production stoppage and opened a new path for preventive maintenance of industrial equipment.
