Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of removing organic acids from crude oil using a gas hydrate inhibitor and a catalyst in crude oil production facilities or oil-refining facilities, in which organic acids can be removed from crude oil by reacting the crude oil with mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), di-ethylene glycol (DEG), tri-ethylene glycol (TEG), methanol or derivatives thereof, as a gas hydrate inhibitor in the presence of a tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) catalyst, whereby the acidity of the crude oil can be lowered by 93% or more, and no catalyst deactivation occurs because magnesium (Mg)-based catalysts are not used. Furthermore, a continuous process is achieved in such a manner that the gas hydrate inhibitor and the catalyst are not discarded but are collected from the crude oil from which organic acids have been removed, and are thus recycled, thereby realizing environmentally friendly, economical and efficient removal of organic acids from crude oil.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the separation of C4 olefins (butene-1, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, etc.) and C4 paraffins (normal butane, isobutane, etc) from a C4 hydrocarbon mixed gas including butene-1, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, normal butane, isobutane, etc. is provided. The apparatus includes several adsorption towers loaded with an adsorbent which selectively adsorb olefins and two distillation towers for the separation of the mixture gases of olefins/desorbents and paraffins/desorbents respectively. The basic operating process of the adsorption tower comprises an adsorption step of selectively adsorbing C4 olefin from the feeding mixture, a C4 olefin rinse step of removing a small amount of C4 paraffins adsorbed together with C4 olefins, and a desorption step of desorbing C4 olefins by using a desorbent, and further comprises pressure equalization step, concurrent depressurization step, and accumulation pressure step to increase the yield and concentration of olefins depending on the operation pressure of the adsorption tower.

Abstract:
A hybrid process comprising an adsorption process and a distillation process for the separation of butene-1 from a C4 hydrocarbon mixture gas including butene-1, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, normal butane, isobutane, etc. is provided. The hybrid process comprises introducing a gaseous C4 mixture into the adsorption tower loaded with adsorbents which adsorb olefins selectively to discharge C4 paraffins to the outlet of the tower, desorbing C4 olefins selectively adsorbed in the adsortion tower to produce high purity C4 olefins mixture gas in which isobutane and normal butane was removed, and separating the high C4 olefins mixture gas (a mixture of butene-1, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, and a trace amount of C4 paraffins) via distinction to obtain high purity butene-1 including a trace amount of isobutane in the top of the distillation tower and obtain a mixture gas including trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene and a trace amount of normal butane in the bottom of the tower.
