  • Publication number: 20240060188
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for use with hydrogen gas. A method may include adding hydrogen gas to a medium and adding a production chemical to the medium. As examples, the production chemical may be a corrosion inhibitor, an anti-foulant, a hydrate anti-agglomerate, a kinetic hydrate inhibitor, an amine for gas sweetening, a regenerable H2S scavenger, a non-regenerable H2S scavenger, an alcohol for gas dehydration, an alcohol for hydrate control, a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor, or any combination thereof. The present disclosure also provides test methods to determine the susceptibility of a production chemical to reaction with hydrogen gas.

  • Publication number: 20230287576
    Abstract: Corrosion inhibitor compositions are provided that can include a mixture of one or more alkaline earth metals, one or more organic phosphates, one or more inorganic phosphates, optionally a dispersant, and hydroxyphosphono acetic acid and/or salts thereof and/or derivatives of hydroxyphosphono acetic acid and/or salts thereof. Methods of mitigating or inhibiting corrosion of metal surfaces are also disclosed. The methods can include the steps of adding a corrosion inhibitor composition as described in the present disclosure to a medium in contact with the metal surface and optionally to the metal surface before it is contacted by the medium.

  • Publication number: 20060263481
    Abstract: Shaped chewing gum products are made by mixing gum base, bulk sweetener syrup, powdered bulk sweetener and soluble protein together to form a heated composition and molding that composition into desired shapes. The molding may be accomplished by making multiple depressions in a bed of powder material, each depression having a desired shape; depositing the heated composition into the depressions at a temperature at which the heated composition will fill into the shapes of the depressions; allowing the heated composition to set up to a consistency wherein the composition maintains the shape of the depression to form the shaped chewing gum products; and separating the shaped chewing gum products from the powder material.
