FIBER FILM versus Conventiona l Technologies

Caustic treating processes with dispersive mixing devices were once

the only option available to the industry. Yet conventional dispersion

and phase separation methods are subject to numerousshortcomings lack of turndown capability, pluggage, flooding,

channeling, unpredictable treating results, long settling times,

aqueous phase carryover, generation of dilute aqueous wastes,

lower service factor, hydrocarbon losses, larger plot space, product

contamination, and additional processing steps and equipment

needed to separate phases.


11/31

Dispersion Problem

Even when the dispersion-based system provides adequate

treatment, separating the two phases is usually extremely inefficient.

The mixture must remain in the phase separator until the caustic

droplets settle out by gravity, a process that may take hours. As the

treating requirement becomes more difficult, mixing energy is

increased to maximize interfacial surface area leading to a greater

dispersion of the aqueous phase causing the separation time to

become exponentially longer.

Stable emulsions can form in the mixing device resulting in massive

carryover out of the separator vessel. Due to excessive carryover,

expensive equipment such as knockout vessels, sand filters, and

water wash units must be installed downstream to remove the

dispersed aqueous phase from the treated product. Treatment is

often interrupted if an emulsion develops.

The conventional method of contacting two immiscible liquids such

as hydrocarbon and caustic or amine is to disperse one liquid

thoroughly into the other as small droplets. Impurities pass between

the two phases at the surface of the droplet. Mass transfer can only

be improved by creating more numerous and smaller droplets in

order to increase surface area.

Conventional Systems = Conventional Problems


12/31

The FIBER FILM C ontac tor Basics

Intimate Contact Without Dispersion

In a FIBER FILM Contactor, the aqueous phase adheres to (wets) the metal

fibers and is continually renewed as it flows down the length of the fiber via a

combination of gravity and interfacial drag between the two immiscible

phases. Hydrocarbon also flows through the cylinder cocurrently and in

between the aqueous-wetted fibers. The large surface area and tight pack-

ing of the metal fibers bring ultra-thin falling films of the aqueous phase into

intimate contact with the hydrocarbon phase. The interfacial surface area

produced is orders of magnitude larger than in conventional devices allow-

ing impurities to easily diffuse between phases.

Additionally, emulsions and aqueous carryover are negligible occur since

surfac e tension causes the a queous phase to a dhere to the metal fibers while

the hydrocarbon phase flows freely between the wetted fibers. The result is a

highly efficient mass transfer of impurities from one phase to the other with

little to no emulsification, carryover, or high pressure drop.

The FIBER FILM C ontac tor

Effective treating results

Achieves maximum removal of

impurities from the hydrocarbon

to meet customers standa rds.

High mass transfer efficiency

The large interfac ial surface

area, the microscopic diffusion

distance, and the continuous

renewal of the aqueous phase

combine to yield mass transfer

efficiencies far greater than

possible with conventional

treatment.

Tec hnology Advantages

ULTRA-THIN FALLING FILMS

Elimination of carryover

Bec ause the a queous phase adheres to the fibers in the FIBER FILM C ontactor

rather than being dispersed into the hydrocarbon phase, c arryover is virtually

eliminated.

Elimination of emulsion formation

Since effective phase contact occurs without dispersion, stable emulsions will

not form in the FIBER FILM C ontactor unit.


14/31


Tec hnology Advantages

Reduced equipment size and cost

Since the FIBER FILM Contactor system does not depend on gravity settling or

emulsion coalescenc e, processing vessels can be muc h smaller. In most cases,

expensive downstream coalescers and other cleanup equipment are not

required. With fewer pieces of smaller equipment, plant space is more

efficiently utilized.

Lower operating costs

High caustic strength and recycle capability reduces use of fresh caustic as

well as providing excellent turndown c apability.

TYPICAL SEPARATION TIMES

ConventionalDispersive System

60-90 minutes

Fiber-Film Contactor

Simplified, easily operated equipment

By eliminating the clean-up stages,

FIBER FILM C ontactor systems are muc h

simpler to operate and maintain than

conventional treating equipment. In

addition, Merichems straightforward

designs make automation and control

easy.


15/31


Adaptable to Client needs

Merichems FIBER FILM Contac tor units are c ustom-designed to integrate with

existing equipment to cost-effectively increase treating capacity and

significantly reduce project schedules. These revamps typically increase

capa city by 50300%.

Future expansion capability

To meet projected expansion needs, FIBER FILM Contac tor systems can be

designed for ec onomica l capacity increase.

Modularized system availability

FIBER FILM Contactor systems can be modularized to reduc e field fabrica tion

and installation costs. This option also offers quicker implementation of

grassroots systems, while Merichems pre-shipment checkout significantly

reduces start-up problems.

LEX SMREGEN

REGENtechnology processes regenerable rich caustic streams produced in the refinery allowing it to

be rec ycled thereby significantly improving caustic utilization. Typica lly REGENis coupled with extrac-

tive THIOLEX technology to regenerate the mercaptide-rich caustic purged from the THIOLEX

system and returns a lean caustic stream for additional mercaptan removal. Depending on the

stringenc y of the trea ted product specifications, the REGENdesign will employ disulfide oil (DSO)

gravity separation and/or solvent washing step(s) to minimize the impact of DSO back-extraction. In

addition, REGENtechnology is equally effec tive at reviving rich/spent caustic streams emanating

from conventional refinery trea ting units.

REGENtechnology was first licensed in 1980 and to date Merichem has granted 151 unit operating

licenses world-wide. Moderate levels of sodium sulfide (salt of hydrogen sulfide/H2S) c an be ac commo-

da ted in the rich caustic and many times negates the need for a H2S pre-wash stage in the hydroca r-

bon extraction section of the treating unit resulting in less capital expenditure.

The design of the system is based on more than 75 years of first-hand operating knowledge gained from

Merichem-owned plants. This factor, when coupled with Merichems extensive licensing experience,

makes REGENthe technology-of-choice.
