Diversified was invited by a potential client to sweeten sweet·en v. sweet·ened, sweet·en·ing, sweet·ens v.tr. 1.

To make more pleasant or agreeable. 225,000 litres of sour condensate containing 8,000 parts per million parts per million mg/kg or ml/l; see ppm. of H2S, which is considered a high concentration. The Company had not previously attempted a job of this magnitude for this application; however, in less than two hours 100% of the H2S from the sour condensate was removed, using only 400 litres of DVS 6000. The treated hydrocarbon was then shipped down the pipeline as sweet condensate. With a weight of 815 grams per litre, this condensate was close in density to that of a light crude. "The field operator commented on the low odour and improved working conditions while using DVS 6000," said Susan Schieman, H2S Scavenger Product Specialist with Diversified, "in addition to the much lower usage rate compared with the incumbent product." Diversified's cost-effective formula for sweetening liquid hydrocarbons, which works extremely well under lab conditions, has now been confirmed on large quantities of sour oil in field conditions. The most recent field results exceeded the Company's performance expectations. Extensive lab testing is now demonstrating DVS 6000 eliminates H2S and mercaptans mercaptans organic mercurial compounds, used as fungicides on plants and animals. See captan. from hydrocarbon liquids such as crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas liquids. DVS 6000 is a safe, user-friendly H2S scavenger that has no odour, contains no formaldehyde, has a minus 45 degree Celsius freeze point, is non-corrosive and is not regulated under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act of Canada. DVS 6000 is continuing to demonstrate that it is on the way to becoming the scavenger of choice by industry. Hydrocarbon liquids can now be treated cost effectively with DVS 6000, whether in pipelines, storage tanks, tanker trucks or ships. DVS 6000 is one of several proprietary technologies being developed and/or commercialized by Diversified, which is focusing on product applications for the oil and gas industry.
