Systems and processes for removing a first sulfur compound from a hydrocarbon stream. The systems and process utilize at least one reaction vessel incorporating a hydrolysis catalyst suitable for hydrolyzing the first sulfur compound to a second sulfur compound. The reaction vessel also incorporates a sorbent material suitable for absorbing the second sulfur compound. Following hydrolysis of the first sulfur compound to the second sulfur compound and absorption of the second sulfur compound, a hydrocarbon-containing stream having a reduced sulfur content is produced. The hydrolysis catalyst and sorbent material may be provided in separate zones within the reaction vessel or provided as a mixture in a single zone. The hydrocarbon-containing stream having a reduced sulfur content is suitable for a variety of uses, including as a feedstreams for hydrogen plants, process gas streams for power generation plants, or for other uses for hydrocarbon-containing stream having reduced sulfur content.
A system for removing a first sulfur compound from a hydrocarbon-containing stream to produce a stream having a reduced sulfur content comprising at least one vessel wherein each vessel of the at least one vessel comprises a hydrolysis catalyst selected from the group consisting of activated alumina, titania, titanium dioxide, and mixtures thereof and a sorbent material selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, copper oxide, hydroxides, carbonates, hydroxycarbonates, and mixtures thereof.
