Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for separating at least one amine from one or more hydrocarbons for regenerating the at least one amine. The process can include passing the at least one amine after contacting with the one or more hydrocarbons from a first vessel to a second vessel. Often, the second vessel includes one or more walls surrounding one or more baffles and contains at least one coalescing zone.

A process for separating at least one amine from one or more hydrocarbons for regenerating the at least one amine, comprising:
- passing the at least one amine after contacting with the one or more hydrocarbons from a first vessel to a second vessel wherein the second vessel comprises one or more walls surrounding one or more baffles and contains at least one coalescing zone.
A process for separating at least one amine from one or more hydrocarbons, comprising:
- A) passing the at least one amine with the one or more hydrocarbons after contacting from a first vessel to a second vessel wherein the second vessel comprises one or more walls surrounding one or more baffles and first and second coalescing zones;
- and
- B) passing an amine phase from the second vessel to a charcoal bed.
An apparatus for removing hydrogen sulfide, comprising:
- A) an amine absorber;
- B) a flash drum downstream from the amine absorber wherein the flash drum comprises one or more walls forming a stack containing a demister therein and a body, wherein the body contains first, second, and third baffles and first and second coalescing zones;
- and
- C) a charcoal bed downstream from the flash drum.
