Q2 Technologies Team

Experts in H2S Scavenging Solutions

With decades of combined experience, the Q2 Technologies team specializes in innovative hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavenging solutions for the oil and gas, wastewater treatment, and industrial sectors.

Q2 Technologies® is committed to bringing to market the best alternatives to control H2S. We are in touch with our community and just met with several operators in the Permian Basin. The message is very straight forward: Lower your Lease Operating Expense is of paramount importance always, and more so in current times.

 

By using Pro3®, a pipeline approved H2S removal process, this operator will now meet crude pipeline spec for H2S. This will save them $3-5/bbl in trucking while avoiding costly road maintenance. You can do it too, contact us now.

Our smart injection system will monitor and optimize inception rates via an app, while remotely measuring tank levels. This way, you increase your efficiency while lowering your operating expenses.


Call us today to lower your lease operating expenses today. We are here to serve our community by doing what we do best: Control H2S.

Q2 Technologies’ H2S scavenger chemistries are formulated to perform across the full range of crude oil gathering, storage, and transport conditions, from wellhead separators to large-scale storage tanks. This consistency helps producers avoid costly downstream quality issues and keeps crude oil moving safely through the supply chain. Q2’s technical team works directly with field personnel to fine-tune treatment rates for maximum effectiveness.

When introduced into a stream afflicted with H2S, the hemiformal decomposes to release formaldehyde, which then reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form stable, non-volatile byproducts such as thiomethylene glycol.  The reaction is typically fast and efficient, particularly in aqueous or mixed-phase environments. Unlike some traditional scavengers, hemiformal can maintain activity across a broad pH range and is less likely to generate problematic solids. When considering if hemiformal is the right product, certain operating conditions are reviewed, such as pH and temperature.

Key Benefits:

  • Controlled formaldehyde release 
  • Lower vapor pressure and improved safety profile 
  • Broad applicability across liquid and gas-phase systems 
  • Reduced scaling in sour water stripping and other high-temp operations 
  • Hemiformal can make the scavenger safe for transport as it is a very stable compound 

Heading 5

Hemiformal is used in a variety of upstream and midstream applications, including: 

  • Gas sweetening systems 
  • Produced water treatment 
  • Crude oil storage and transport 
  • Sour water stripper overheads 
  • Temporary H2S mitigation during maintenance or turnaround

Its adaptability makes it especially useful in operations where system conditions fluctuate or where traditional triazine-based products may underperform. 

Heading 6

While hemiformal offers many advantages, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The rate of formaldehyde release can vary depending on formulation and environmental conditions. Additionally, while safer than raw formaldehyde, hemiformal must still be handled with care and appropriate PPE. 

For optimal results, formulation expertise and application-specific customization are key—something we at Q2 Technologies excel at delivering.
