Abstract:
Iron contaminants are removed from hydrocarbon oils, and from produced water or flowback water by-products of oil and gas production, by treatment of such liquids with a composition comprising a two-tail lipid compound. The lipid binds iron to form a lipid/iron phase in the liquid, which is then removed to provide a liquid with a reduced iron level.
