Abstract
Gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon is treated with a scavenging compound comprising an oil soluble 1,3,5-trihexahydro-1,3,5-tert.-butyltriazine. The compound is an effective nonregenerated scavenger for oil field produced fluids, particularly sour hydrocarbon liquids.
Claims9
A method of reducing H.sub.2 S in a hydrocarbon fluid which comprises contacting the fluid with an effective amount of a 1,3,5-hexahydro-1,3,5-tert.-butyl triazine, the concentration of the 1,3,5-hexahydro-1,3,5-tert.-butyl triazine in the fluid ranging from 50 to 3,000 ppm.
A method of reducing H.sub.2 S in a hydrocarbon fluid which comprises introducing into the fluid a scavenging amount of a scavenger formulation comprising
- (a) from 5 to 95 wt % of 1,3,5-hexahydro-1,3,5-tert.-butyltriazine, and
- (b) from 95 to 5 wt % of a diluent or solvent for the triazine.
