Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for removing one or more sulfur compounds from one or more hydrocarbons. The process may include passing a hydrocarbon stream from a prewash zone containing a coalescing zone to an extraction zone. Often, the zones are contained within a single vessel and the coalescing zone comprises an oleophilic media.
Claims20
A process for removing one or more sulfur compounds from one or more hydrocarbons, comprising:
- passing a hydrocarbon stream from a prewash zone containing a coalescing zone to an extraction zone, wherein the zones are contained within a single vessel and the coalescing zone comprises an oleophilic media.
A process for removing one or more sulfur compounds from one or more hydrocarbons, comprising:
- A) passing a combined stream comprising one or more hydrocarbons and an alkali to a prewash zone;
- B) obtaining from the prewash zone a hydrocarbon stream and passing the hydrocarbon stream into an extraction zone including a first coalescing zone;
- C) mixing the hydrocarbon stream with an alkali stream to obtain a hydrocarbon phase and an alkali phase;
- and
- D) passing at least a portion of the hydrocarbon phase to a settling zone containing a second coalescing zone to obtain a processed hydrocarbon stream.

A vessel for removing one or more sulfur compounds from one or more hydrocarbons, comprising:
- A) a prewash zone;
- B) an extraction zone downstream of the prewash zone containing a first coalescing zone;
- and
- C) a settling zone downstream of the extraction zone containing a second coalescing zone.
