How a Compact Glycol Feed System Works
A glycol feed system continuously monitors pressure within a closed-loop system. When pressure falls below the desired level, the system automatically introduces glycol solution to restore proper operating conditions.
This process helps maintain system performance, reduce maintenance issues, and protect equipment from the negative effects of low pressure and air infiltration.
