Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of determining the sulfur-content in a gas sample or liquefied petroleum gas sample comprising sulfur-containing compounds, including derivatizing the sulfur-containing compounds and analyzing the derivatized sulfur-containing compounds.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to demulsifier compositions containing one or more demulsifying polymers and an alkyl carboxylic acid solvent, and methods of using the compositions for separating water-in-oil emulsions.

Abstract: A system and method for producing hydrogen, including steam reforming elemental sulfur to generate hydrogen gas and sulfur dioxide, to give a mixture including hydrogen gas, sulfur dioxide, elemental sulfur gas, and water vapor, removing the elemental sulfur gas to give a process gas including the hydrogen gas, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor, and isolating the hydrogen gas or a hydrogen gas rich stream.

Abstract: A method for regenerating carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from acid gas using a catalyst containing a group 2 element is provided. The method reduces the energy required for the regeneration process and allows for an efficient and cost-effective way to regenerate acid gas.

Abstract: A system and method for producing hydrogen, including converting sulfur vapor and oxygen gas in a first zone of furnace into sulfur monoxide, injecting water into a second zone of the furnace, converting the sulfur monoxide and the water in the second zone into hydrogen gas and sulfur dioxide, discharging furnace exhaust gas (including the hydrogen gas) from the furnace, condensing sulfur vapor in the furnace exhaust gas into liquid sulfur in a condenser (heat exchanger) downstream of the furnace, and discharging the liquid sulfur from the condenser to a vessel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to demulsifying polymers of Formula (I): demulsifier compositions containing the compound of Formula (I), and methods of using the polymers and compositions for separating water-in-oil emulsions.

Abstract: A gas oil separation plant (GOSP) and method for receiving crude oil from a wellhead and removing gas, water, and salt from the crude oil, and discharging export crude oil. The GOSP includes online analyzer instruments for performing online analysis of salt concentration in multiple streams in the GOSP. Based in part on the online analysis, the salt content in the export crude oil may be determined and the flowrate for wash water supplied to the desalter vessel may be specified.

Abstract: Processes for producing olefins may include electrolyzing an aqueous solution comprising metal chloride, where electrolyzing the aqueous solution causes at least a portion of the metal chloride to undergo chemical reaction to produce a treatment composition comprising hypochlorite. The processes may further include contacting at least a portion of the treatment composition with the sour water at a pH from 8 to 12, where the sour water comprises sulfides and the contacting causes reaction of the sulfides in the sour water with the hypochlorite to produce a treated aqueous mixture comprising at least metal sulfates and metal chlorides, where the metal sulfates are present in the treated aqueous mixture as precipitated solids. The processes may further include separating the precipitated solids from the treated aqueous mixture to produce a treated effluent comprising at least the metal chloride.
