Abstract
A crosslinking composition for hydrocarbon gels containing phosphate ester gelling agents comprising a modified imidazoline or pyrimidine including an alkyl group (or unsaturated carbon chain) or of 10 to 22 carbon atoms, a polyamine, and ferric sulfate. The method of making the crosslinking agent features adding the polyamine after reaction of the other ingredients; unique gels formed with the crosslinking agent are particularly effective for LNG at very cold temperatures.
