Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for removing gases from a sweetened hydrocarbon stream. The process can include passing the sweetened hydrocarbon stream to a gas removal zone, contacting the sweetened hydrocarbon stream with an aqueous stream, passing the aqueous stream to the degassing drum, and removing gases including at least one of oxygen and nitrogen from the aqueous stream. Often, the gas removal zone includes a degassing drum.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for producing kerosene, comprising: A) a reaction zone for receiving a combined stream of an alkaline, a hydrocarbon, and oxygen, the reaction zone having an inlet and at least one liquid outlet; and B) a gas removal zone comprising a vessel and a degassing drum wherein the gas removal zone is in liquid communication with the reaction zone, the vessel having a liquid inlet, an aqueous liquid outlet, and a hydrocarbon liquid outlet, the liquid inlet of the vessel being in liquid communication with the liquid outlet and a gas outlet, the aqueous liquid outlet of the vessel being in liquid communication with the liquid inlet of the degassing drum. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vessel comprises a hollow fiber membrane. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vessel comprises a water wash vessel. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a prewash vessel upstream of the reaction zone. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vessel further has a wash liquid inlet at the end of the vessel opposite the aqueous liquid outlet, and wherein the liquid inlet of the vessel and the hydrocarbon liquid outlet are at opposite ends of the vessel.
