Abstract: Disclosed herein are antifouling compositions including a combination of one or more dispersant polymers and one or more inhibitors, the one or more dispersant polymers including the polymerized residues of one or more ?-olefins and maleic anhydride, further wherein the maleic anhydride residues are reacted with a primary amine; and the one or more inhibitors including a functionalized p-phenylene diamine. Concentrates of the antifouling compositions in solvents are stable and pourable at temperatures of 0° C. to ?40° C. The antifouling compositions are added to a petroleum product to form a treated petroleum product, wherein fouling by the treated petroleum product is reduced and a stable dispersion is formed over a wide range of processing conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for reducing fouling by natural and synthetic foulants that tend to precipitate during petroleum collecting, processing, transporting, and storing. The method includes applying one or more antifouling polymers to a petroleum product to form a treated petroleum product, wherein fouling by the treated petroleum product is reduced and a stable dispersion is formed over a wide range of processing conditions. The one or more antifouling polymers include the polymerized residues of one or more ?-olefins and maleic anhydride, further wherein the maleic anhydride residues are reacted with a primary amine. Concentrates of the antifouling polymers in solvents are stable and pourable at temperatures of 0° C. to ?40° C.

Abstract: This invention is a method of using sulfite salts to remove dispersed sulfur from fluids encountered in oil and gas production, transport and refining in which sulfite salts are used to convert the dispersed sulfur into benign, water-soluble sulfur species which remain in aqueous solution. Sulfur precipitation and deposition in conduits and processing equipment is thereby prevented.

Abstract: A composition comprising about 5 to about 95 weight percent of one or more dispersants selected from the group consisting of polyalkenyl substituted succinic acid esters and ?-olefin maleic anhydride copolymers and mixtures thereof and about 0.1 to about 25 weight percent of one or more metal deactivators, method of using the composition to stabilize jet fuels and jet fuels comprising the composition.
