Abstract:
A method of treatment for inhibiting sulfur-based corrosion or scaling or for removing scaling from a surface including inhibiting corrosion caused by sulfur- containing materials, reducing corrosion caused by sulfur-containing materials, inhibiting scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials in gas, liquid or solid phase or any combination of multiple phases of materials, reducing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials, and removing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials. The method involves contacting sulfur-containing materials with a composition containing a turpentine liquid. The method also involves contacting corrodible surfaces or surfaces prone to scaling with a composition containing a turpentine liquid.
Abstract:
A method for reducing one or more additives in a gaseous hydrocarbon stream (40) such as natural gas, comprising the steps of: (a) admixing an initial hydrocarbon feed stream (10) with one or more additives (20) to provide a multiphase hydrocarbon stream (30); (b) passing the multiphase hydrocarbon stream (30) from a first location (A) to a second location (B2); (c) at the second location (B2), passing the multiphase hydrocarbon stream (30) through a separator (22) to provide one or more liquid streams (50) comprising the majority of the one or more additives, and a gaseous hydrocarbon stream (40) comprising the remainder of the one or more additives; and (d) washing the gaseous hydrocarbon stream (40) in a decontamination unit (24) with a washing stream (60), wherein the washing stream (60) comprises distilled water, to provide an additive-enriched stream (70) and an additive-reduced hydrocarbon stream (80).
Abstract:
A system for converting natural gas into one or more liquid hydrocarbon products is disclosed. The system comprises a movable platform (10) on which synthesis gas production, synthetic crude production (41) and product upgrading (42, 43, 44) units are located. The synthesis gas production unit may utilize air or oxygen-enriched air to produce synthesis gas, and the synthetic crude production unit may comprise a bubble column slurry reactor. On the movable platform (10) a gas sweetening/liquids separation unit (40) for recovering an LPG components may be located. The synthesis gas production unit preferrably comprises a Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The movable platform is preferrably an FPSO (10) which may comprise cooled tanks, warmed tanks and/or temmperature an FPSO (10) which may comprise cooled tanks, warmed tanks and/or temperature untreated tanks. One preferred liquid hydrocarbon product is Diesel fuel. A process for converting natural gas to liquid hydrocarbon products is also provided where the process occurs on said movable platform.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for converting natural gas from a remote source into hydrocarbon liquid stable at room temperature, comprising a skid or trailer-mounted portable gas-to-liquids reactor. The reactor includes a preprocessor which desulfurizes and dehydrates the natural gas, a first-stage reactor which transforms the preprocessed natural gas into synthesis gas, and a liquid productions unit using a Fisher-Tropsch or similar polymerization process. The hydrocarbon liquid may be stored in a portable tank for later transportation or further processed on site in a portable hydrocarbon cracking unit to yield fuel or lubricating oils.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Transportfähigkeit von schwerem Rohöl. Ausgehend von den Nachteilen des bekannten Standes der Technik soll ein Verfahren geschaffen werden, bei dem Viskositätserniedrigendes Mittel bereit gestellt wird, das kostengünstig herstellbar ist, mit geringem Aufwand dem schweren Rohöl zugesetzt werden kann und zu keinen nachteiligen Auswirkungen bei der nachfolgende Raffination zu herkömmlichem Benzin führt. Hierzu wird als Lösung vorgeschlagen, dass im Bereich einer Erdöllagerstätte aus dem geförderten schweren Rohöl eine Menge von 10 bis 40 % an Rohöl abgezweigt und vor Ort über Zwischenstufen, Synthesegasgewinnung, Methanol-Synthese und Gewinnung eines Dimethylether/Methanol/Wasser-Gemisches, in ein wasserhaltiges Kohlenwasserstoffgemisch mit einer Kettenlänge von vorwiegend C4 bis C12, das keine sauerstoffhaltigen Kohlenwasserstoffverbindungen enthält, umgewandelt wird. Dies wird nach erfolgter Entgasung dem schweren Rohöl zugesetzt, wobei das über Leitungen zu einer Raffinerie transportiert wird. Während der nachfolgenden Raffination des leichten Rohöls zu herkömmlichem Benzin werden die im wasserhaltigen Kohlenwasserstoffgemisch enthaltenen Kohlenwasserstoffe Bestandteil der produzierten Menge an Benzin.
Abstract:
This invention is related to integrated systems for offshore or land based industrial activities which use for feedstock or produce gas, crude oil and/or refined petroleum products/components, and provide reservoir injection of fume gases, can receive and store CO 2 or flue gases from other offshore or onshore industrial processes or hydrocarbon producing installations, and can provide industrial products, the generation and transmission of electric power and communications between the various elements or units within a defined network or grid. The at least one industrial activity is represented by combinations of at least one hydrocarbon producing installation, at least one distillation unit, at least one upgrading unit, oil refinery, combined cycle electric power plant, production of heat, production of steam, production of at least one fertilizer, production of at least one petrochemical product. A most favorable integrated system can detect and measure the demand, include applying and the control of fogging of the at least one gas turbine (5) and provide and control wet compression (7), generate electric power accordingly by a combined cycle gas combustion process, and provide the optimization (minimization) of O 2 , enabling the reinjection of the fume gases (CO 2 + N 2 ) into producing HC reservoirs, thus provide pressure support for enhanced HC recovery. Associated or integrated heat and/or steam production ( from the at least one steam or boiler unit) can facilitate other activities on the at least one installation or distributed to the network (10). The integrated system will control the supply of electric power to the grid or network in question. The control of the system is integrated, coordinated and operated in real time.
