The production, transfer, and refining of crude oil is a complex business and one that faces increasing pressure from government regulations and HSE (Health, Safety , and Environmental) concerns. One of the more serious challenges that oil and gas companies face is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). H2S is commonly found in crude oil and causes a number of significant issues ranging from poor product quality to equipment failure caused by cracking and corrosion to worker safety challenges.
At Surface Chemists, one of our key strengths is our ability to solve problems. Unlike most chemical companies we are not constrained to a defined set of core raw materials or technology platforms and not limited by a given plant’s production equipment.
In response to industry requests for an oil-soluble H2S chemistry, Surface Chemists developed and patented a technology that is based on metal carboxylates. Each year we ship millions of pounds of our SurPhase® SCAVENGE products into oil industry applications across North America.
Oil Field Products
Household and Institutional cleaning formulations have developed over the years, from simple formulations for single duty products, to multi-functional cleaning systems designed to work in both non-toxic and extreme conditions.
H2S levels in asphalt are particularly high, sometimes over 20,000ppm. In addition, required high process temperatures lead to thermal cracking, which can causeH2S formation in-situ during asphalt production and storage.
The SurPhase® SCAVENGE line of patented hydrogen sulfide scavengers and slow release nitrates provide cost effective ways of controlling offensive – and highly dangerous -H2S odors.
The SurPhase® SCAVENGE line of products are a safe, effective family of patented zinc carboxylates designed to remove hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and other sulfur compounds.
