Hi everyone,
Could you please help to understand if cleaning agent as THPS (tetrakis (hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate) or phosphorus ester can react to disengage Ester the way as in the attacment of course after all carbonyl groups had been reacted?
The problem is really broad nowadays as ester type chemical (for example viscosifier for drilling muds as Xanthan gam) can be produced with crude and block as filters as heater elements causing major operational problems of oil producing companies.
Thanks in advance
