Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for treating a hydrocarbon stream. The stream can include passing the hydrocarbon stream into a vessel containing a packed zone and a coalescing zone, passing an amine stream into the vessel at a location above an inlet for the hydrocarbon stream, and withdrawing the hydrocarbon stream.
Claims20
A process for treating a hydrocarbon stream, comprising:
- A) passing the hydrocarbon stream into a vessel containing a packed zone and a coalescing zone;
- B) passing an amine stream into the vessel at a location above an inlet for the hydrocarbon stream;
- and
- C) withdrawing the hydrocarbon stream.
1 more element
A process for treating a hydrocarbon stream, comprising:
- A) passing the hydrocarbon stream comprising hydrogen sulfide to an absorption zone;
- B) passing an amine stream to an absorption zone for absorbing hydrogen sulfide;
- and
- C) passing the hydrocarbon stream from the absorption zone to a coalescing zone for removing one or more amines.
1 more element
An apparatus for removing hydrogen sulfide from a hydrocarbon stream, comprising:
- A) an amine absorption zone comprising a first vessel containing a packed zone and a coalescing zone wherein the coalescing zone comprises a hydrophilic mesh;
- B) a prewash zone comprising a second vessel downstream of the amine absorption zone;
- C) an extraction zone downstream from the prewash zone;
- and
- D) an alkali regeneration zone in communication with the extraction zone.
