  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A SWEETENED HYDROCARBON STREAM
    Publication number: 20160060190
    Abstract: A process of producing a sweetened liquid hydrocarbon stream. In order to prevent the forming of acid species in a sweetening zone, a oxygenate removal zone is disposed upstream of the sweetening zone. The oxygenate removal zone may comprise a water wash or an adsorbent zone, including a regenerable adsorbent. The sweetened stream is formed from a least a portion of liquid natural gas stream which may be scrubbed free of hydrogen sulfide and dehydrated before passing to the oxygenate removal zone.
