Abstract

32 - PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVAL OF SOUR SPECIES FROM A NATURAL GAS STREAM ABSTRACT A PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF SOUR SPECIES FROM A DEHYDRATED NATURAL GAS FEED STREAM IS PROVIDED. THE DEHYDRATED NATURAL GAS FEED STREAM IS COOLED TO CONDITIONS WHERE A SLURRY OF SOLID SOUR SPECIES AND HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS IS FORMED TOGETHER WITH A GASEOUS 10 STREAM CONTAINING GASEOUS SOUR SPECIES. THE GASEOUS STREAM CONTAINING GASEOUS SOUR SPECIES IS THEN SEPARATED FROM THE SLURRY AND TREATED WITH A LIQUID SOLVENT, THEREBY FORMING A LIQUID SOLUTION OF THE SOUR SPECIES AND A DEHYDRATED SWEETENED NATURAL GAS PRODUCT STREAM. 15 AN APPARATUS FOR REMOVING SOUR SPECIES FROM A DEHYDRATED NATURAL GAS FEED STREAM IS ALSO PROVIDED. THE APPARATUS HAS A VESSEL WITH A SOLIDS FORMATION ZONE IN FLUID COMMUNICATION WITH A GAS SOLVATION ZONE. THE SOLIDS FORMATION ZONE IS CONFIGURED TO 20 FACILITATE FORMATION OF A SLURRY OF SOLID SOUR SPECIES AND HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS AND A GASEOUS STREAM CONTAINING GASEOUS SOUR SPECIES. THE GAS SOLVATION ZONE IS CONFIGURED TO FACILITATE FORMATION OF A LIQUID SOLUTION OF SOUR SPECIES. THE APPARATUS HAS AN INLET FOR INTRODUCING THE DEHYDRATED NATURAL GAS FEED 25 STREAM TO THE SOLIDS FORMATION ZONE, A CONDUIT CONFIGURED TO DIRECT THE GASEOUS STREAM FROM THE SOLIDS FORMATION ZONE TO THE GAS SOLVATION ZONE, AND AN INLET FOR INTRODUCING LIQUID SOLVENT INTO THE GAS SOLVATION ZONE. 30 FIG 1
