  • USE OF ALPHA-AMINO ETHERS FOR THE REMOVAL OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE FROM HYDROCARBONS
    Publication number: 20120012507
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of removing hydrogen sulfide from hydrocarbon fluids. The method involves using an alpha-amino ether as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger. This allows for the introduction of an oil soluble scavenger in lieu of water-soluble scavengers.
    Type: Application

  • METHOD OF REMOVING HYDROGEN SULFIDE
    Publication number: 20120012506
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of removing hydrogen sulfide from hydrocarbon fluids. The method involves using a nitroxide molecule to promote a sulfide scavenger such as alkyl-triazine. The nitroxide effectively accelerates the scavenger's activity. This allows for the avoidance of the introduction of halides into the hydrocarbon stream.

  • Alkoxylated alkylphenol-arylaldehyde polymer
    Publication number: 20040266973
    Abstract: An alkoxylated alkylphenol-arylaldehyde polymer prepared by alkoxylating an alkylphenol-arylaldehyde polymer and use of the alkyoxylated alkylphenol-arylaldehyde polymer to resolve water-in-oil emulsions, especially emulsions of water in crude oil.
    Type: Application

  • Ultraviolet spectrographic monitoring of water soluble corrosion inhibitors
    Patent number: 5272346
    Abstract: The concentration of a water soluble corrosion inhibitor formulation in the water of an aqueous system is monitored by a UV absorption method which is based upon the measurement of the absorbance of a component of corrosion inhibitor formulation. The method is particularly suited to on-site determinations of inhibitor residuals in large aqueous systems, such as in oil field applications, which have an acute need for rapid and adaptable assays, so as to provide precise information before corrosion damage can occur.
