  • Testing H2S Scavengers Polymerization Factors
    Publication number: 20230204516
    Abstract: Scavenging chemicals used in mitigation treatments of hydrogen sulfide in hydrocarbon streams often continue to react and form polymers that foul the processing system. Disclosed herein are methods for determining if a scavenging chemical mitigator, or its reaction or degradation product, will polymerized during or after mitigation treatments. This information allows for the optimization of mitigation treatments that pre-emptively control or prevent polymer formation. Such pre-emption measures reduce the cost and time related to remedial actions to treat polymer-fouled equipment.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 10, 2023
    Publication date: June 29, 2023
    Applicant: CONOCOPHILLIPS COMPANY
    Inventors: Jay E. LOCKLEAR, Clinton L. CROWE
