Recovering a polar hydrocarbon (HC) selective solvent substantially free of hydrocarbons (HCs) and other impurities from a lean solvent stream containing the selective solvent, measurable amounts of heavy aromatic HCs, and polymeric materials that are generated in an extractive distillation (ED) or liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) process. At least a portion of the lean solvent stream is contact in a solvent clean-up zone with a slip stream from the HC feed stream of the ED or LLE process or an external stream. The HC feed stream, such as pyrolysis gasoline or reformate, contains significant amounts of benzene and at least. 50 % polar (aromatic) HCs and serves as a displacement agent to remove the heavy HCs and polymeric material from the lean solvent, stream. A magnetic filter can be used to remove the paramagnetic contaminants from the lean solvent.
摘要:
A continuous extraction system for countercurrent chromatography to achieve continuous solvent extraction, is disclosed wherein two immiscible solvents move in opposite directions through a rotating helical column (11). The coiled tube (11) has two pairs of flow connecting tubes, I u and I u to respectively feed and collect phase 1, and II u and II u to respectively feed and collect phase II. Elution of a desired phase takes place by use of a separation device at the head end which selects either the heavier or the lighter phase. This may consist of a suitably weighted suspended outlet tube (18) of Figure 2 in a rotating cylindrical outlet chamber (16) or may consist of a shunt "S" and settling chamber (40 of Figure 6) located outside the rotating part; the heavier phase may be removed from the bottom and the lighter phase may be removed from the top.

An extraction apparatus comprises an extraction vessel configured to remove an extracted material from a source material in contact with a process fluid to inform a mixture. The apparatus further comprises a separation chamber and a process flu id circulation conduit, the conduit comprising a separation portion configured to receive the mixture and permit a portion of the extracted material to separate from the mixture within the separation chamber. The apparatus further comprises a temperature regulator configured to permit re-circulation of a temperature regulation fluid and regulate the temperature of the process fluid.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a mixer-settler, an arrangement comprising a train of at least two mixer-settlers and a method for measuring and controlling volumetric O/A ratio and phase disengagement time of organic and aqueous phases in a dispersion. A continuous flow of dispersion is led via an inlet channel (6) from the uptake channel (4) though a measurement chamber (5) to an outlet channel (9) which leads the flow to the pump-mixer unit (1). At predetermined time intervals the continuous flow of dispersion is interrupted by closing the inlet and outlet valves (12, 13) to retain a sample of dispersion in the measurement chamber (5) for the measurement of the O/A ratio and phase disengagement time.

A weir assembly for use with a mixer-settler for liquid-liquid extraction includes in one embodiment an organic weir having an inlet opening below the free surface of the organic phase liquid and a vertically-adjustable front wall allowing adjustments in the position and/or height of the inlet opening. The organic weir can also feature an angled bottom coupled to a lip segment, an incline plate in the interior of the weir, and a front wall that is angled with respect to incoming fluid flow. In another embodiment the weir assembly can independently or additionally include an aqueous weir with a labyrinth section. The aqueous weir can optionally include an adjustable lip hingedly coupled to the top of the final partition in the labyrinth section.
摘要:
Methods and systems to monitor and control crude oil processing with regards to crude oil specifications for bottom sediment & water (BS&W) and salt are provided. Crude oil processing may be monitored and controlled using key performance indicators (KPIs) that include the desalter voltage and dehydrator voltage as indicators of the BS&W and salt. In response to monitoring of the desalter voltage and dehydrator voltage, a high pressure production trap (HPPT) efficiency and a dehydrator separation efficiency may be controlled via adjustment of a wash water percentage, a demulsifier dosage, a dehydrator interface level, a desalter interface level, and a differential pressure across a mixing valve.

A solvent extraction settler arrangement comprises a settler (1) having a feed end (2) and a discharge end (3), said settler being arranged to separate solution phases from a dispersion fed from the feed end while the dispersion flows to the discharge end. Elongated discharge launders (4, 5) are arranged at the discharge end (3) of the settler for each solution phase to be separated from the dispersion, each discharge launder (4, 5) including a first end (6), an outlet (7, 8) arranged at the first end, and a closed second end (9). At least one of the discharge launders (4, 5) has a form of a conical tube with a cross-section converging from the first end (6) towards the second end (9) and an inclined bottom (10, 11) descending from the second end (9) towards the first end (6).
