METHOD FOR THE RECOVERY OF A KINETIC HYDRATE INHIBITOR FROM AN AQUEOUS FLUID

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of treating aqueous fluid and apparatus therefor. The method comprises adding an organic compound to a mass of aqueous fluid comprising at least one Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor (KHI). The organic compound comprises a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. The hydrophobic tail comprises at least one C-H bond and the hydrophilic head comprises a hydroxyl (-OH) group.
