Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans may be removed from a fluid or gaseous stream by reacting the hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans in the stream with a scavenger selected from a: (i.) 1,3,5-trisalkanylamino hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine derivative; (ii.) morpholine or piperazine derivative; (iii.) amine oxide; (iv.) alkanolamine; or (v.) aliphatic or aromatic polyamine.
Description
- Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans may be removed from a fluid or gas stream, including liquid and gaseous mixtures of hydrocarbons, by contacting the stream with a scavenger of a hexahydrotriazine derivative, a morpholine or piperazine derivative, an amine oxide, an alkanolamine or a polyamine.
- In the drilling, production, transport, storage, and processing of crude oil, including waste water associated with crude oil production, and in the storage of residual fuel oil, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are often encountered. The presence of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans is objectionable because they often react with other hydrocarbons or fuel system components. Further, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are often highly corrosive as well as emit highly noxious odors. Uncontrolled emissions of hydrogen sulfide gives rise to severe health hazards. Burning of such vapors neither solves toxic gas problems nor is economical since light hydrocarbons have significant value.
- Furthermore, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are often present in the underground water removed with the crude oil, in the crude oil itself and in the gases associated with such water and oil. When the water and oil are separated from each other, hydrogen sulfide is emitted as a gas which is associated with water and hydrocarbon vapors. Natural gases further often contain hydrogen sulfides.
- The use of various compounds to react with hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans has been known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,063,346 discloses the use of a combination of triazines, maleimides, formaldehydes, amines, carboxamides, alkylcarboxyl-azo compounds and cumine-peroxide compounds for the removal of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan contaminants from a fluid. U.S. Pat. No. 5,128,049 further discloses the use of certain triazine, morpholino and amino derivatives for the removal of hydrogen sulfide content from fluids.
- Generally, such compounds are either too expensive for commercial use or evidence insufficient levels of mercaptan and/or hydrogen sulfide removal. Better alternatives for the removal of hydrogen sulfide as well as mercaptans have therefore been sought.
- Hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans may be removed from a fluid or gaseous stream by contacting the stream with an effective amount of a hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptan scavenger selected from the group consisting of:
-
- (i.) 1,3,5-trisalkanylamino hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives;
- (ii.) morpholine or piperazine derivatives;
- (iii.) amine oxides, especially those of the formula (R1)(R2)(R3)N→O wherein R1 is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkylarylalkylene, alkenylarylalkylene, alkylaminoalkylene, alkenylaminoalkylene, alkylamidoalkylene, or alkenylamidoalkylene group, wherein each of said alkyl groups contains from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms and may be branched or straight chained and saturated or unsaturated, and wherein said alkylene groups have from about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms; and R2 and R3 are independently aliphatic chains having about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms;
- (iv.) an alkanolamine, preferably either a monoalkanolamine, dialkanolamine or trialkanolamine; and
- (v.) an aliphatic or aromatic polyamine having at least two amine or substituted amino groups per molecule, preferably a polyalkylene or aromatic polyamine having from 1 to about 4 secondary amine groups per molecule wherein each alkylene group contains between from about 2 to about 8 carbon atoms and the amino group is of the formula —N(R8)(R9) wherein each R8 and R9 are independently selected from —H or a C1-C6 alkyl or alkylene group.

- Further preferred are those polyalkylene polyamines of the formula R10R11N(R12R13N)zR14, where R10, R11, R13, and R14 are independently —H or a C1-C30 alkyl or aryl group, R12 is a methylene or a C2-C24 alkylene group, and z is 0 to 1000.
- The process of the invention has particular applicability to the removal of those mercaptans of the formula R—SH wherein R is an alkyl group having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms and preferably from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, most preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms since these mercaptans are most desirable for removal due to their noxious and corrosive nature.
- The scavenger may be added to any aqueous or nonaqueous medium containing hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptan where the amount of hydrogen sulfide is sought to be reduced. Wet gaseous mediums are those containing water vapors and/or hydrocarbon vapors. Thus, the method of present invention is useful in controlling hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans in water systems, oil and gas production and storage systems, and other similar systems. The scavenger, upon contact with the fluid or feedstock, reacts with the hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans so as to provide products which are environmentally benign.
- Generally, for industrial or commercial use, the scavenger may be contacted with a stream containing the hydrogen sulfide or mercaptans for removal. Contact can occur in a variety of containers, such as a process or transport line, a separate stirred or non-stirred container or other vessels such as scrubbers or strippers. Further, the scavenger may be vaporized and introduced as a gas to be contacted with another fluid. Alternatively, solid or stabilized liquid scavenger may be sprayed or added into a system. Further, a solution can be added via surface or downhole equipment or at any time in the process stream in recovering crude oil so as to remove the noxious quality and corrosive nature of the hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans in the processing system.
- The scavengers may be added neat or diluted with water or solvent and may be formulated or blended with other suitable materials or additives. It is preferred that the scavenger be introduced to the hydrocarbon stream as a homogeneous mixture. Where water is present, the scavenger is selected so that the reaction product of scavenger and hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptan is preferably soluble both in water and in the feedstream. For liquid systems, suitable solvents for dissolving the scavenger include polar and non-polar solvents such as water, alcohols, esters, benzene and benzene derivates.

With emissions from a residual fuel oil, the scavenger may be stirred into the fuel oil. When used with a natural gas, the natural gas may be scrubbed with an aqueous or nonaqueous solution of the scavenger. Additionally, when the natural gas, as it often does, contains water vapors, the scavenger may be injected into a stream of the gas moving within a conduit. In such case, when the water vapors are removed from the natural gas as a liquid, the product of the hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptan and scavenger will also be removed. The scavenger can further be used in scavenging hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans from recovered substances obtained form subterranean wells.

- Approximately 2.7 weight percent of scavenger in methylcyclohexane or a 50:50 volume percent methylcyclohexane/isopropanol mixture were introduced to n-propyl mercaptan and/or nonyl mercaptan solutions in methylcyclohexane. Both mercaptan concentrations were approximately 0.04 Mol/L. The scavenger was permitted to intimately mix with the mercaptan for 1 hour at 160 F. An additional test was run with nonyl mercaptan at 0° C. for 72 hours (LT test). Mercaptan removal was monitored and quantitated using GC/MS analysis. The results are set forth in Table I below.
