MEA-Triazine vs. MMA-Triazine
| Grade | CAS | Amine Base | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEA-Triazine (55%) | 4719-04-4 | Monoethanolamine | H₂S scavenging in natural gas, sour crude, and amine treating units. |
| MMA-Triazine (55%) | 1017-56-7 | Monomethylamine | H₂S scavenging where MEA-triazine regeneration products are undesirable. |
Physical Properties
Oilfield & Industrial Applications
Natural Gas Sweetening
Removes H₂S from natural gas streams to meet pipeline specifications (<4 ppm H₂S). Injected upstream of separators or in scavenger contactors.
Sour Crude Oil Treatment
Reduces H₂S vapor pressure in sour crude oil during storage and transportation. Prevents personnel exposure and equipment corrosion.
Produced Water Treatment
Controls dissolved H₂S in produced water before reinjection or disposal. Prevents corrosion in surface equipment and pipelines.
Amine Treating Units
Supplemental H₂S scavenger to protect amine treating systems from H₂S breakthrough during upset conditions.
Tank Vapor Control
Reduces H₂S in tank vapor spaces to protect workers during gauging, sampling, and maintenance operations.
Pipeline Pigging Operations
Batch treatment ahead of pigging operations to reduce H₂S exposure risk and prevent corrosion in pipeline dead legs.
Safety & Regulatory

Triazine (MEA-triazine) is the industry-standard H2S scavenger for oilfield gas and liquid streams. Here's how it compares to alternative scavengers.
| Attribute | Triazine | Iron Sponge | Amine Scrubbing |
|---|---|---|---|
| H2S Scavenging Mechanism | Irreversible chemical reaction with H2S | Adsorption on iron oxide media | Reversible absorption — regenerable |
| Application Form | Liquid — injected into gas or liquid stream | Solid media — vessel required | Liquid — large plant required |
| H2S Loading Capacity | Moderate — 0.5–1.0 lb H2S per lb triazine | Moderate — 0.3–0.5 lb H2S per lb | High — regenerable, unlimited |
| Capital Cost | None — chemical injection only | Low — simple vessel | High — large plant |
| Best For | Low-to-moderate H2S, remote locations | Low H2S, small gas volumes | High H2S, large gas volumes |
