Applications

H2S scavenger

A hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavengers is a specialized chemical or fuel additive widely used in hydrocarbon and chemical processing facilities. These specialized chemicals react selectively with and remove H2S to help meet product and process specifications. These H2S scavenger are generally referred to as gas sweetners.

MEA triazine and MMA triazine are two such products offered by Esteem Industries for scavenging H2S gas.

MEA triazine and MMA triazine are both hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(substituted)-s-triazine derivatives. These liquid based triazines perform well for direct injection into the gas streams (off-shore application) or in contactor towers (on-shore application). One mole of triazine can scavenge two moles of H2S molecules to form the by-product; dithiazine which is biodegradable and non-toxic. Triazines react only with H2S gas and hence are not consumed by CO2 gas present in natural gas reservoirs.

Find answers to common questions about H2S scavengers

H2S scavengers are specialized chemicals used in oil & gas processing to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from gas streams. They react selectively with H2S to help meet product and process specifications, improve safety, and protect equipment from corrosion.
We offer triazine-based H2S scavengers including MEA triazine (monoethanolamine triazine) and MMA triazine (monomethylamine triazine). These liquid-based triazines are effective for direct injection into gas streams (offshore applications) or in contactor towers (onshore applications).
H2S scavengers react with hydrogen sulfide gas to form stable, non-toxic by-products. One mole of triazine can scavenge two moles of H2S molecules to form dithiazine, which is biodegradable and non-toxic. Triazines react only with H2S gas and are not consumed by CO2 gas present in natural gas reservoirs.
H2S scavengers are used in natural gas processing, oil refining, offshore gas production, onshore gas treatment facilities, pipeline operations, and any application where H2S removal is required to meet safety and quality specifications.
Triazine-based H2S scavengers offer selective H2S removal (not consumed by CO2), effective performance in both offshore and onshore applications, formation of biodegradable and non-toxic by-products, efficient H2S removal (2:1 mole ratio), and reliable performance in various gas treatment applications.
