The Tergeo Process™ with the VAP-X™ Gas Blend chemistry

Vap-X™ Gas Blend Chemistry is specially formulated to significantly reduce/eliminate the levels of H2S and CO2 present in gas streams in an economical way. The Tergeo skid system optimizes efficiency.

What is it?

This chemistry can effectively eliminate gas-phase H2S and CO2 by 100%. When acidic water vapor is present in the gas stream due to the presence of acid gas, Vap-X™ Gas Blend neutralizes the acids, converging the H2S out of the sulfide phase. In battery applications where water is a key factor in causing scale, Vap-X™ Gas Blend displaces elemental sulfur in the water fluid.

The proprietary chemistry of Vap-X™ Gas Blend allows for it to migrate through the gas column when applied using proprietary application methods. It is most effective when used with high concentrations of H2S in conjunction with Vap-X™ gas chemistry along with our blend of hybrid concentrated reagents.

The Tergeo Process™ and VAP-X™ Gas Blend difference

  • Non-triazine base
  • Requires lower dosages
  • No supply chain issues
  • By-product is disposed of as produced water
  • Significantly more economical compared to other scavengers

Application

  1. Dosage is applied mainly based on volume
  2. Treat inline
  3. Mitigate H2S and CO2 at facility
  4. Contaminants get sequestered on the water-side of the application

CO2 capture

Capture, not just scavenging

  • Utilize chemistry to capture CO2
  • Process allows for economical treatment of CO2
  • Integrity of assets increased due to mitigation of acidic gases

Best suited to · Environmental

  • High flow gas wells with sour or sweet takeaway
  • Shut-in wells
  • Treatment before processing facility to increase throughput
  • No hazardous chemical to dispose of
  • Low dose rate greatly reduces environmental impact from transportation
