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;
- wherein the one or more baffles comprises a first baffle, a second baffle, and a third baffle, and the at least one amine passes to an enclosure at least partially formed by the first baffle.
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, wherein the one or more baffles comprises a first baffle, a second baffle, and a third baffle, and the at least one amine passes to an enclosure at least partially formed by the first baffle;
- and
- B) passing an amine phase from the second vessel to a charcoal bed.
