摘要:
Fouling in basic washing systems such as caustic scrubbers can be prevented or at least mitigated by treating the liquid washing phase used in a caustic scrubber with an additive having at least one compound selected from the group consisting of oxalyl dihydrazide, a disulfite salt, isopropyl hydroxylamine, chlorobenzhydrazide, aminobenzhydrazide, a thiosulfate salt, 4,4-dimethyl oxazolidine, a hydrosulfite salt, and mixtures thereof, particularly in the case where the liquid washing phase includes components that may undergo an aldol condensation, the products of which may cause fouling solids and/or sludges.
摘要:
Hydrogen sulfide evolution from asphalt or heavy fuel oil may be reduced or eliminated using an additive to act as a scavenger. Zinc, in conjunction with an additional metal selected from Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cr, Zr, when present in the form of nano-particles of an oxide, borate or carboxylate is an effective component is preventing or mitigating the evolution of hydrogen sulfide. The nano-particles may be used neat or as a dispersion. These metals may also be complexed and used in the form of a solution. Molybdenum, when used with one or both of Fe and Zn is also a useful in any of these forms for the same purpose.

摘要:
Additives may be used to improve certain physical properties of bitumen. The additives are prepared using a formulation comprising: a first component selected from the group consisting of (alkoxylated)-(di or tri)-alkyl phenol-aldehyde (amine) resins; α-Olefin-maleic anhydride co-polymers and grafted polymers including half ester/amide and full ester/amide derivatives; and combinations thereof; and a second component which is a synergist and selected from the group consisting of polyamines, amidoamines, imidazolines, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
Bitumen may be prepared by mixing at least two bitumen feed streams to prepare a bitumen product stream; analyzing the feed streams and the product stream to determine a stability index for each using a Bitumen Asphaltene Stability Index Test; and when the index value for the bitumen product stream is less than about 90% of the weighted average index value for the feed streams, modifying the product stream to achieve a stability index value that is at least 90% of the weighted average index value for the feed streams.
摘要:
Bitumen may be prepared by obtaining an inflection point value for a mixed bitumen product stream sample, and modifying the mixed bitumen product stream when the inflection point value occurs at a ratio of less than about 2 mL of added non-solvent per 1 gram of the mixed bitumen product stream sample. The inflection point value may correlate to the stability of the mixed bitumen product stream based on the amount of added non-solvent. The mixed bitumen product stream may have or include at least two bitumen feed streams.
摘要:
Corrosive amine salts in hydrocarbon streams such as desalted crude oil streams can be prevented or avoided by adding certain amine scavenging chemicals to the streams to remove the amines therefrom. Suitable amine scavengers include, but are not necessarily limited to, carboxylic anhydrides and copolymers of carboxylic anhydrides, aromatic anhydrides, isocyanates, polyisocyanates, and epoxides. The non-corrosive reaction products of the amines and/or ammonia with these scavengers are preferably oil-soluble, non-basic and thermally stable. The amine scavengers bind up and react with the amines and/or ammonia to keep them from reacting with materials such as acids (e.g. HCl) to form corrosive amine salts.
