I have different batches of Triazine-Based Scavengers and I would like to know if there is any method to predict its efficiency or which are the most common quality control parameters. I only measure the amine number, pH and specific gravity.
Development of Conceptual Model for the Understanding of Fouling Formation.
Conceptual models developed to understand the formation of fouling is utmost helpful in prediction of exact efficiency. I am just filtering from the content of the paper, which may be helpful for you.
The triazine solution 250 mL gas washing bottle connected to a two-neck pear-shaped boiling flask in which batches of NaHS was stored. + A dripping funnel with HCl was attached to the boiling flask, and by letting HCl react with NaHS, H2S gas was produced and bubbled through the triazine solution. Batches of NaHS were used so that the composition of the triazine could be studied for molar ratios of H2S to triazine up to 4:1. After each batch a sample of 0.1 mL solution was extracted, diluted 1:10000 in demineralized water and analyzed by ESI-MS equipped with an ion trap, 1100 series LC/MSD Trap (Agilent). The experiment can be ended when precipitate formation prohibited(optimize it so that fouling formation will be stopped) extraction of additional samples.
A decrease in aqueous solubility could enhance precipitation of dithiazine from the aqueous phase and hereby increase the fouling problem. The use of an oxo group would from this perspective seem less attractive compared to using a tertiary hydroxy group. The model predicts that fouling with dithiazine polymers may be avoided by using triazines with tertiary hydroxy group or by removing the hydroxy group functionality from the triazine. formation of more fouling could be worst option to use a model. the aqueous solubility would be decreased and hence efficiency will be less. That the use of this triazine may result in fouling further downstream during the refining process. To increase the refining process and increase efficiency, removing the precipitates , the stopping chemical properties of the triazines and its reaction products will be helpful.
