Method for removing contaminant material from oil and gas equipment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11946021B2) discloses a method for removing contaminant material from oil and gas industrial refinement equipment. The method involves providing a solvent composition containing methyl soyate, an aprotic solvent, an additional solvent, a diluent, a sodium nitrite solution, and a cationic surfactant. The solvent composition is then used to contact the contaminant material on the equipment, which includes various substances such as asphalt, heavy oil deposits, and hydrocarbon sludge. The reaction between the solvent composition and the contaminant material results in the detachment of the material from the industrial equipment. Additionally, the solvent composition can dissolve the contaminant material, allowing for its removal from the equipment.
The patent further details specific compositions and percentages for the components of the solvent composition, such as the amount of methyl soyate, aprotic solvent, additional solvent, and cationic surfactant. It also mentions the inclusion of a dispersant in the solvent composition and specifies the type of cationic surfactant that can be used, such as a quaternary ammonium salt or isostearyl ethylimidazolinium ethosulfate. The method involves heating the solvent composition to a specific temperature range between 100°F and 160°F for optimal effectiveness. Overall, this patented method provides a detailed and structured approach to efficiently remove contaminant material from oil and gas industrial refinement equipment, offering potential benefits for the industry in terms of maintenance and cleaning processes.
