Improving mercaptan solubility

Stephen A Bedell, Linda L Pirtle and John M Griffin, The Dow Chemical Company

2007 / Gas

While mercaptan removal by amines in most gas treating operations is very dependent on solution pH and lean load, these new agents are mostly independent of pH changes encountered in normal gas treating operations.

Improving operator efficiency in gas processing

William A Poe and Andrew Saunders, Invensys Process Systems

Saeid Mokhatab, University of Wyoming

2007 / Gas

When gas plant operators understand the function of the multivariable controllers, the intervention required to stabilise the plant can be reduced and operations become more profitable, as shown in the following two case studies.

Hydrogen from refinery offgas

Harald Klein, Linde Engineering Division.

2007 / Gas

Utilisation of refinery offgases for hydrogen production.  Three basic schemes of ROG integration into a steam reformer plant were investigated.  These schemes are considered at different hydrogen concentrations.

Using butane feedstock in a hydrogen plant

Ashley J Winsper, Johnson Matthey Catalysts

Inigo Crespo Irizar, Repsol YPF

2007 / Gas

Case study on the use of butane feed for the Repsol YPF La Coruna hydrogen plant.  The process in which a refiner and technology partner evaluated the use of lower-cost feedstock is diiscussed.
