MMA-Triazine Manufacturing
As we have said before, manufacturing triazine-based scavengers is simple—in theory. The devil’s in the details. This devil is also true for MMA-triazine manufacturing, if not

When MEA-triazine manufacturing goes wrong
In a quality control test, five MEA-triazine samples received from a high-volume chemical manufacturer showed inconsistencies in triazine concentration and excess MEA. Though the initial sample met expectations, subsequent samples were in the low 30% and 55-60% range for triazine with excess MEA. Mistakes in manufacturing processes may lead to poor performance, potentially resulting in lost customers.

Sulfide scavenging by-products in NGLs
A midstream oil & gas company was facing a challenge in their collection system: solids were building up at their gas processing plant. Initially, the

Troublesome triazine titrations
Titrations are a classic method for the measurement of amine concentration in solution. Amines are basic compounds—they will accept at H+ to become protonated. If

Spent scavenger analysis
We recently received a spent H2S scavenger sample for laboratory analysis. Over the years, we’ve seen many samples like that shown in the figure above:

Analysis of tramp amines
Tramp amines are a challenging crude oil contaminant for refinery operations. These amines generally arrive at the refinery from upstream processing—in-field sulfide scavenging. When they
