Application Note: Cary 630 FTIR with DialPath for Accurate and User-Friendly Analysis of the H2S Scavenger “MEA-triazine”

Great news for all those routinely quantifying MEA-triazine!

The Cary 630 FTIR with DialPath sampling module offers an accurate and user-friendly workflow for the analysis of MEA-triazine.

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a common contaminant in oil and gas extraction, and monoethanolamine-triazine (MEA-triazine) is one of the most used scavengers for H2S. Fast and accurate quantification for the MEA-triazine content is essential for its use as a scavenger but so far the available analytical techniques all come with their challenges, such as low accuracy, high complexity, and high time consumption.

Together with Dr Leonardo Pantoja Munoz from Middlesex University, the Agilent team has developed an easy and efficient method to analyze MEA-triazine concentrations based on the Cary 630 FTIR spectrometer fitted with an innovative Agilent DialPath module.

The benefits this FTIR-based method have been demonstrated in a recent application note.

This analytical solution:

  • accurately quantifies the MEA-triazine content in aqueous media,
  • provides results in seconds,
  • is easy to use with minimal training
    • Software: uses picture guidance and provides color-coded result
    • Instrument: MEA-triazine is highly viscous, and very hard to measure using traditional FTIR cells. The DialPath sampling module only requires placing a small sample drop onto the sampling device, bypassing the viscosity challenge and proving a user-friendly workflow
