Refinery Fuel-Gas H₂S Scavenger — Triazine

Refinery fuel gas, FCC/coker off-gas and low-pressure streams can carry residual hydrogen sulfide even downstream of amine treating. A triazine H₂S scavenger polishes that residual H₂S to protect burners, meet emissions limits and prevent corrosion.

Quick answer: triazine is a non-regenerative polish for residual H₂S in refinery fuel gas and off-gas — ideal after amine treating, on small/intermittent streams, and during upsets. MEA Triazine 78% for cost-effective bulk polishing; MMA Triazine 40% for hotter/continuous service.

Where It Fits in the Refinery

  • Fuel-gas header polishing downstream of amine treating
  • FCC and coker off-gas
  • Low-pressure / intermittent gas streams without their own amine unit
  • Flare-gas recovery
  • Upset and turnaround H₂S mitigation

Scavenger vs Amine Unit

Triazine is most economical as a non-regenerative polish below a few hundred ppm H₂S. High, continuous loads belong to regenerative amine treating; triazine handles the residual, the small streams and the upsets — often at far lower CAPEX.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why scavenge H2S from refinery fuel gas if there is an amine unit?

Amine treating removes the bulk of H2S, but residual H2S can remain during swings, amine-unit upsets, or in smaller off-gas/low-pressure streams that do not justify their own amine system. A triazine scavenger polishes that residual H2S so fuel gas protects burners, meets emissions limits and avoids corrosion.

Where is triazine applied in a refinery gas system?

Typical points are fuel-gas headers downstream of amine treating, FCC and coker off-gas, low-pressure or intermittent gas streams, and flare-gas recovery. Injection is by quill/mixer with enough contact time, or via a small contactor where the H2S load justifies it.

Which triazine grade suits refinery gas polishing?

MEA Triazine 78% gives high active content for cost-effective polishing; MMA Triazine 40% is chosen for hotter or continuous service where more soluble by-products reduce solids/scaling. Grade is matched to temperature, H2S load and stream type.

Is a scavenger a replacement for an amine unit?

No — triazine is a non-regenerative polish/backup, most economical below a few hundred ppm H2S. For high, continuous H2S loads, regenerative amine treating is the primary technology; triazine handles the residual, the small streams and the upsets.

How is over-treatment and solids avoided?

Dose to the measured H2S load, select a soluble-by-product grade for hot streams, ensure mixing/contact time, and monitor spent scavenger. Polymeric dithiazine fouling is driven by highly spent MEA triazine left under continued H₂S exposure, so the goal is to manage the scavenger before it becomes over-spent — not to under-dose.

Do you supply triazine for refineries and gas plants?

Yes. Vasudev Chemo Pharma manufactures MEA Triazine 78% and MMA Triazine 40% and exports globally with batch COA and application guidance for refinery fuel-gas and off-gas H2S polishing.
