Moreover, it enables the bentonite content in white water to be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2009Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: SNF SAInventors: Rene' Hund, Christian Jehn-Rendu

Publication number: 20080214726Abstract: Copolymers, desirably having a molecular weight of from 500 to 20000, of aminoesters or aminoamides of (meth)acrylic acid and (meth)acrylamides at a molar ratio of from 10:1 to 60:1, particularly from 12:1 to 50:1 and especially about 20:1, can act as gas hydrate inhibitors in water containing hydrocarbon gas streams. Desirably the aminoesters or aminoamides are N-alkyl-amino(esters or amides) in particular of the formula (I): H2C?CR1 C(O)XR2NR3R4 (I) where R1, R2, R3, R4 and X have defined meanings and the (meth)acrylamides are of the formula (II): H2C?CR6C(O)NR7R8 (II) where R6, R7 and R8 have defined meanings. Methods of treating gas water mixtures using the copolymers to inhibit gas hydrate formation are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2005Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: Croda International PlcInventors: David J.
