摘要:
The present invention includes methods and systems for improving oil quality of a contaminated oil mixture by removing contaminants from a contaminated oil comprising the steps of: pretreating a membrane contactor system having a first and a second surface with an hydrophobic liquid, wherein the hydrophobic liquid is contacted to at least one of the first and second surfaces; obtaining a contaminated oil that comprises oil and lipophobic contaminants; contacting the contaminated oil onto a first surface of one or more membrane contactors to coalesce the oil on the first surface; and collecting the coalesced oil from the contaminated oil on the second surface of the membrane contactor.

The invention relates to a method for reducing the sulphur content of a sulphurous liquid fuel. According to said method, the liquid fuel is first heated, the heat required therefor being at least partially drawn from a drive unit, the heated liquid fuel is at least partially desulphurised, and the sulphur-reduced fuel is then supplied to a current-generating device. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method, said device comprising a current-generating device, a means for reducing the sulphur content of a sulphurous fuel, and a drive unit comprising a means for transferring heat to the liquid fuel, the means for distributing the liquid fuel being arranged adjacently to the drive unit. A high-temperature polymer fuel cell stack can especially be used as a current-generating device, and a drive turbine is especially provided as the drive unit. At least one membrane, a hydrofiner with pre-saturation followed by H 2 S separation, or an adsorber are suitable, for example, as advantageous means for reducing the sulphur content of the sulphurous fuel.

The invention relates to a process for membrane separation that allows linear hydrocarbons to be separated from branched hydrocarbons. The membrane employed comprises a dense selective layer composed of a polymer whose chemical structure contains at least one 9,9-bisphenylfluorene group.
摘要:
Carbonyl species contamination of liquid hydrocarbon media and corrosion of metal surfaces in contact with such media are inhibited. A high boiling point primary or secondary amine is added to the desired liquid hydrocarbon medium, and in one exemplary embodiment, the medium is then brought into contact with a separatory membrane such as a nanofiltration membrane. The permeate from the membrane is a highly purified hydrocarbon stream.

Disclosed is a method for processing naphtha, according to which a) naphtha or a stream generated from naphtha in a preprocessing step is divided into a stream A that is stripped of aromatics and a stream B which is enriched with aromatics in a membrane unit, the aromatics concentration in stream A ranging from 2 to 12 percent by weight (step a); b) partial stream A is directed at least in part into a steam cracker (step b); c) partial stream B is directed at least in part into a unit in which said stream B is divided into a stream C or several streams C' C'', C''',..., which has/have a lower aromatics content than stream B, and a stream D or several streams D', D'', D''',..., which has/have a higher aromatics content than stream B, by means of a thermal process (step c); d) stream C or at least one of the streams C', C'', C''' is delivered as a whole or in part to the feed for the steam cracker or directly to the steam cracker (step d).
摘要:
A process for removing sulfur from a hydrocarbon employs a solid membrane (20). A feed stream is provided containing a feed liquid hydrocarbon and a feed sulfur species and a sweep stream is provided containing a sweep liquid hydrocarbon. A relatively large quantity of the feed stream is conveyed past one side of the solid membrane (20), while a relatively small quantity of the sweep stream is conveyed past the opposite side of the solid membrane (20). The feed sulfur species is transported in a permeate from the feed stream through the solid membrane to the sweep stream. As a result, the feed stream is converted to a relatively large quantity of a substantially sulfur-free reject stream containing a primary hydrocarbon product, while the sweep stream combines with the permeate to produce a relatively small quantity of a sulfur-enriched stream, which is amenable to further processing.
摘要:
Process for purifying a liquid hydrocarbon product comprising 5% by weight or less of high molecular weight contaminants having a molecular weight of at least 1000, wherein the product stream is contacted with a hydrophobic non-porous or nano-filtration membrane and the purified product stream is recovered as the permeate. Various liquid hydrocarbon products can be treated including process streams containing as the main product styrene, isoprene, butadiene, pentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, piperylene, C2-C5 mono-olefins or acrylates.
摘要:
Selectively permeable separation of aromatic hydrocarbons from non-aromatic hydrocarbons in a feed stream is accomplished using improved asymmetric membranes. The preferred membranes are fashioned from a polyimide and conditioned with a lubricating oil. Feed streams containing a mixture of aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons are contacted with the dense active layer side of the polyimide membrane under a pressure and temperature sufficient to selectively permeate the desired aromatic hydrocarbon.
