Abstract: Processes for removing a sulfide or a degradation product thereof from in a gas dehydration system are disclosed along with corresponding gas dehydration systems. The processes and systems include contacting a stream comprising the sulfide or a degradation product thereof with an anionic resin to remove at least a portion of the sulfide or a degradation product thereof from the stream. The processes and systems can also be used in the removal of mercury from gas dehydration systems.

Abstract: Processes and apparatuses are disclosed for treating a naphtha boiling range stream containing mercaptan compounds. The process includes oxidizing mercaptan compounds in the naphtha boiling range stream to provide a mercaptan-depleted naphtha stream rich in disulfide compounds; passing the mercaptan-depleted naphtha stream rich in disulfide compounds to a naphtha splitter column; and fractionating at least a portion of the mercaptan-depleted naphtha stream rich in disulfide compounds into at least two streams, a light naphtha stream lean in disulfide compounds and a heavy naphtha stream rich in disulfide compounds. The heavy naphtha stream rich in disulfide compounds may be passed to a hydroprocessing unit to convert organic disulfides in the stream to hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide. A heavy naphtha stream lean in disulfide compounds can be recovered and routed as desired by the refiner.

Abstract: A crude oil which contains at least 0.1 wt % unstable sulfur compounds is treated in a reaction zone at low temperature to convert at least 50 wt % of the unstable sulfur compounds contained therein. The reaction and removal of sulfur from the crude may be facilitated by contacting the crude oil with a catalytic material in the presence of a stripping fluid.

Abstract: A process is provided for in-field upgrading of heavy hydrocarbons such as whole heavy oil, bitumen, and the like using supercritical water.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to produce 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN), used for the production of polyethylene naphthalate, at high purity and high yield from a mixture of dimethylnaphthalene isomers without limitation to the specific isomers present in the feed by a series of fractionation, crystallization and adsorption steps.
