Abstract:
A process for scavenging hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan contaminants from a fluid, comprising the steps of:providing a fluid containing hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan contaminants;mixing said fluid with a benign contaminant scavenger comprising a hydrogen sulfide scavenger component and a mercaptan scavenger component wherein said hydrogen sulfide scavenger component and said mercaptan scavenger component are different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of triazines, maleimides, formaldehydes, amines, carboxamides, alkylcarboxyl-azo compounds, and cumine-peroxide compounds so as to provide a fluid mixture; andsubjecting said fluid mixture to scavenging temperature conditions so as to provide a fluid product containing benign contaminant transformants wherein said product is substantially free of said hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan contaminants.
