Amine Regenerator vertical thermosyphon reboiler not flowing properly

Amine Regenerator vertical thermosyphon reboiler not flowing properly

(OP)
We have a thermosyphon reboiler on our amine regenerator that has not been flowing properly since turn around.  The bottom sump of the regenerator has a auxiliary baffle and a preferential baffle.  In fig 19-37 of the GPSA manual, it is baffle orientation b.  We think it might be pluggage, but we can't conclusively verify that.  I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this problem, any ideas how to conclusively verify pluggage, or any other potential causes?

Thanks
