Claims14
A method for reducing an amount of sulfhydryl compounds in sour aqueous and sour hydrocarbon substrates comprising scavenging said sulfhydryl compounds from said substrate with a scavenging agent comprising aldehyde ammonia trimers which trimers contain no alkoxyalkylene substituents, wherein said aldehyde ammonia trimers are present in an amount sufficient to reduce said amount of said sulfhydryl compounds in said substrate.
A method for reducing an amount of sulfhydryl compounds in natural gas comprising scavenging said natural gas with a scavenging agent comprising aldehyde ammonia trimers which trimers contain no alkoxyalkylene substituents, wherein said aldehyde ammonia trimers are present in and amount sufficient to reduce said amount of said sulfhydryl compounds in said substrate.
