Abstract
Disclosed in certain embodiments are processes for heavy hydrocarbon removal that implement a regeneration loop that introduces an absorbent into a regeneration gas stream, and systems for implementing the same.
Claims9
An adsorption system comprising:
- a feed gas inlet;
- a first adsorbent bed fluidly coupled to the feed gas inlet to receive a gas feed stream comprising C5+ hydrocarbons or organic sulfur species;
- and
- a regeneration loop fluidly coupled to the first adsorbent bed, the regeneration loop comprising:
- a second adsorbent bed configured to receive a treated gas stream from the first adsorbent bed;
- an absorbent flow path configured to introduce an absorbent into a regeneration gas stream from the second adsorbent bed to remove at least a portion of the C5+ or organic sulfur species from the regeneration gas stream;
- and
- a separator fluidly coupled to the first adsorbent bed configured to separate the absorbent from the regeneration gas stream prior to mixing with the gas feed stream.
