Scavenger

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003272

A chemical additive used in drilling fluids to remove or neutralize undesirable substances, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or oxygen. For example, zinc compounds are often used as H2S scavengers to prevent corrosion and protect personnel. Oxygen scavengers are added to water-based fluids to minimize corrosion of steel components.
