Abstract

Amine and amine blend compositions neutralize acid environments in distillation overheads of hydrocarbon processing facilities. The neutralizers are composed of certain combinations of amines which are relatively stronger bases and more resistant to hydrochloride salt formation. The amines, when blended together, provide greater neutralization of condensed water present without increased potential for corrosive hydrochloride salt formation.
