  • ABSTRACT polymer 2. A minor amount of at least one Schiffs base condensate derived from condensing hydroxylated aromatic aldehyde with aliphatic amines containing two to six carbon atoms, and 3. A minor amount of at least one diarylamine.
  • this invention relates to novel compositions useful as fouling inhibitors in the processing and treatment of petroleum derived products.
  • antifouling compositions which, at low concentration levels, would stabilize incipient polymer-forming hydrocarbons during storage and use, which would be capable of dispersing and which are capable of inhibiting fouling materials already formed to prevent their agglomeration so that they remain suspended in the streams rather than form deposits upon the metal surfaces such as heat exchangers and the like.
  • these antifoulants would inhibit fouling in the full spectrum of petroleum materials ranging from crude oils through the various light, intermediate and heavy hydrocarbon distillates including lubricating distillates, gas/oils, kerosenes and the like. Antifoulant compositions possessing this unusual combination of properties would represent a useful advance in the art.
  • Another object of this invention is the development of a multicomponent antifoulant composition whose total antifouling activity is substantially greater than the sum of the activities of the individual components used alone.
  • a more specific object is to provide an antifouling composition which can substantially extend the operational life of processing, refining and/or storage equipment coming in contact with hydrocarbon stocks or streams at elevated temperatures.
  • a material ultimately derived from petroleum treating or refining operations is treated with a composition defined below, using treatment methods of the art until an antifouling amount is present in the material.
  • the material which then can be refined or processed in the usual manner willl then provide a substantial inhibition of fouling compared to the untreated petroleum material.

  • Illustrative compounds include among others, diphenylamine, phenyl -a-naphthylamine as well as mixtures of these amines.
  • oil'soluble polymers and nitrogen-containing additives function"satisfactorily as antifoulants, as is the case in any large group certain individual members of the group function more effectively than the group at large and are therefore preferred.

  • Further petroleum substrates include refined hydrocarbons such as xylene, benzene, etc., and, in some instances in the processing of nonhydrocarbons such as alcohols, phenols, etc.
  • the amount of antifouling agent required for effective inhibition is a variable dependent upon the source of the petroleum substrate treated, e.g., a sour crude or a highly refined xylene, the temperatures and pressures employed as well as the components of the antifouling compositions used.

  • the temperatures and pressures employed as well as the components of the antifouling compositions used e.g., a sour crude or a highly refined xylene
  • a convenient mode of expressing the concentrations required is in the form of a range either expressed as parts by million of stock treated (P.P.M.) or on the basis of pounds of composition added per thousand barrels of stock (P.T.B.). Satisfactory inhibition of fouling in most feedstock streams can be obtained under practically all conditions encountered between about 1 to 50 pounds of antifoulant per thousand barrels of stock, or about 3.5 to 175 P.P.M. when expressed in parts per million. Lower concentrations tend toward erratic results and higher concentrations are limited by cost. A narrow concentration range of from about 2 to PTB (7-35 PPM.) is more usually employed.
  • the ratio of oil soluble polymer to nitrogen containing additive ranges between 1:1 to about 10:1.
  • concentrations and ratios are herein referred to as an antifouling or inhibiting amount of antifoulant.
  • the components can be applied individually or as an admixture.
  • Compatible solvents may be a convenience in handling the relatively small quantities of material but the antifoulants can be added directly without dilution.
  • the antifouling compositions can be applied batchwise or continuously. In the latter instance a proportioning pump or comparable device may be used to inject the compositions into the stream being treated.
  • V Evaluation of fouling Two general methods are employed, actual refinery use or simulated use. In the plant trials the length of time that a given unit can be operated without the need for defouling maintenance is noted and compared to the average run of a comparable unit untreated. Also noted are the heat transfer values of the unit toward the end of an operating cycle.
  • the procedure designated as the CFR Coker Test is employed.
  • ASTM D4660 ASTM D4660
  • the tendency of a treated stock material to deposit a fouling coating in a preheater or heat exchanger tube at an elevated temperature is noted and compared to the behavior of an untreated stock under the same conditions.
  • the filtered stock under test is charged at a 6 lbs. per hour flow rate over an electrically heated preheater tube which heats the test fraction to a specified temperature, usually about 425 F.
  • the sample is passed thru a sintered, stainless steel filter, electrically heated to about 500 F.
  • the test is conducted for 300 minutes or until the pressure drop across the filter reaches 25.0 inches of mercury. The latter occurs when a substantial quantity of oil insoluble material clogs the filter and causes the pressure drop to the arbitrarily chosen 25.0 inches limit.

The mixture is stirred until dissolved and 800 parts by weight of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 10,600 parts by weight of lauryl methacrylate and 4,400 parts by weight stearyl methacrylate are added with stirring. At this time 28,600 parts by weight of refined paraffin distillate (150 SU viscosity at 100 F.) is added to the mixture and the reaction mixture is purged with nitrogen gas while stirring for about one-half hour.

  • reaction mixture is refluxed for 4 hours then percolated through silica gel. At this time volatiles are stripped off leaving a yellow to amber oil which slowly crystallizes to a yellow glassy solid. Elemental analysis confirms that the desired amide is present.
  • nents of the anti-fouling composition is evaluated in the previously described CFR Coker Test to seemingly comparable multi-component antifouling compositions at comparable concentration.
  • the base kerosene charge stocks employed have the following properties:
  • Runs 4 and 5 show that kerosene solutions of the preferred tetrapolymer at the 2PTB and SPTB level while running the full 300 minutes did cause pressure Similarly, kerosene solutions of the N,N-disalicylidene-l,2-propane diamine (run 6) of paminodiphenylamino dioctanoate (run 7) and of diphenylamine (run 8) even at the SPTB level clog up the filter when used alone in times ranging from 62 to 100 minutes. However, deposits range from traces to small quantities. A SPTB dosage of kerosene solution of phenyl-wnaphthylamine used alone ran the full 300 minutes but gave slightly greater depositions of foulant.
