Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to processing heavy oil, and more particularly, to methods for removing hydrogen sulfide in heavy oil with an aqueous-based scavenger/oil emulsion.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Fossil products, and notably heavy oil, often contain significant quantities of hydrogen sulphide, H2S, which is a toxic, highly corrosive, inflammable and explosive gas. The risk of exposure to hydrogen sulfide from handling heavy oil is a health and safety concern during storage, transportation (shipping, truck or pipeline) and processing.
- Hydrogen sulfide scavengers can be used to remove hydrogen sulfide from heavy oil. It is known to be possible to reduce the hydrogen sulphide content present in aqueous mediums by using aqueous solutions of aldehydes such as formaldehyde, glyoxal, and glutaraldehyde (see for example the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,680,127 and 5,284,635). However, simple addition of water-based hydrogen sulfide scavengers to heavy oil provides poor results. Additionally, when dispersed in a heavy oil, water-based scavengers such as glyoxal will eventually settle out of the heavy oil into an acidic aqueous phase and settle to the bottom of processing equipment. This aqueous phase may run along the bottom of the processing or refinery equipment as small tributaries in pipelines or stagnate at the bottom of holding tanks. This acidic aqueous phase is highly corrosive and can cause troughing in the processing or refinery equipment.
- What is needed is an improved method for removing hydrogen sulfide from hydrocarbon media without causing corrosion to processing equipment.
- In one aspect, the invention is directed to a method for reducing the amount of hydrogen sulfide present in heavy oil and reducing the amount of corrosion in processing equipment contacting the heavy oil. The method includes the steps of adding an aqueous-based scavenger containing one or more aldehydes to the heavy oil using a static mixer injection system and creating an aqueous-based scavenger/heavy oil emulsion using a high shear/high velocity pump. In one embodiment, the method further includes diverting a portion of the heavy oil into a scavenger addition branch, adding the aqueous-based scavenger to the portion of the heavy oil and forming the emulsion in the addition branch, and adding the aqueous-based scavenger/oil emulsion to the heavy oil in the processing equipment. In one desirable embodiment, the aqueous-based scavenger is glyoxal. The various embodiments provide an improved hydrogen sulfide scavenging process for heavy oil that reduces hydrogen sulfide while minimizing corrosion to processing equipment.

- Turning now to
FIG. 1 , a hydrogen sulfidescavenger addition system 10 is fluidically connected toprocessing equipment 12 for hydrocarbon media. Thescavenger system 10 reduces the amount of hydrogen sulfide present in the hydrocarbon media, such as heavy oils, by adding an aqueous-based scavenger in a manner so as to desirably avoid causing significant corrosion to processingequipment 12. Aqueous-based scavengers are useful for the elimination of hydrogen sulphide present in various fluids and notably are particularly effective at eliminating the hydrogen sulphide present in heavy oils which can exist in the form of water in oil or oil in water emulsions. Theprocessing equipment 12 in contact with the heavy oil may be any type of equipment that can be used for processing the hydrocarbon media, such as pipelines and holding tanks.Processing equipment 12 subject to corrosion is generally processing equipment made of carbon steel, but any type of processing equipment may be protected. The heavy oil may be any type of heavy oil containing hydrogen sulfide. In one embodiment, the heavy oil includes, but is not limited to, gas oil, naphtha, FCC slurry, diesel fuel, fuel oil, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene or vacuum residua. In one embodiment, the heavy oil may be at an elevated temperature to aid in transport in theprocessing equipment 12. For example, the heavy oil may be at a temperature of from about ambient to about 150 ° C. Typically, the temperatures required to move the heavy oil in theprocessing equipment 12 is about 80 ° C. - In the illustrated embodiment, a portion of the heavy oil flowing through the
processing equipment 12 is diverted from theprocessing equipment 12 into thescavenger addition system 10 via ascavenger addition branch 14. Astatic mixer 16 is used to initially mix the scavenger with the portion of heavy oil flowing through thesystem 10. In one embodiment, thestatic mixer 16 comprises an injectionquill dispersion system 18. The scavenger is added to the diverted heavy oil flow in a continuous manner with theinjection quill 18 located generally at the center of theaddition branch 14 in the direction of the heavy oil flow. Theinjection quill 18 desirably has an open-ended tube (not shown) cut at about a 45° angle with a slot. It utilizes the turbulence created to achieve distribution of the injected scavenger into the heavy oil flow in theaddition branch 14. The scavenger injection rate is controlled with aninjection pump 20 or shut-offvalve 22 inaddition line 24. Asuitable injection quill 18 is available from Metal Samples Corrosion Monitoring Systems of Munford, Ala. Alternately, the scavenger may be injected into the heavy oil by any conventional in-line injection system and may be injected at any point in-line suitable to allow the scavenger to mix with the heavy oil. - After addition of the scavenger to the heavy oil, an aqueous-based scavenger/oil micro-emulsion is formed using a high shear/high velocity mixer or
pump 30. In one embodiment, an inlinehigh shear pump 30 such as one available from Silverson Machines, Inc. of East Longmeadow, Mass. The diverted portion of the heavy oil flow in thescavenger addition system 10, now containing the micro-emulsion, is then returned to the heavy oil flow in theprocessing equipment 12. Alternately, the scavenger may be added to the heavy oil flowing through the processing equipment without diverting a portion of the flow such that the entire heavy oil flow flows through thescavenger addition system 10. - According to the invention, the scavenger is a dispersed aqueous phase containing about 20 to 70% of one or more aldehydes chosen from the group constituted by formaldehyde, glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, glycolaldehyde or glyoxylic acid. In one desirable embodiment, the water-based scavenger added to the heavy oil to reduce the hydrogen sulfide is Glyoxal. Glyoxal is a water-soluble aldehyde and may include oligomers of glyoxal. Glyoxal is commercially available as a 40 weight percent aqueous solution. The scavenger may also contain an enhancing additive to catalyze the reaction of actives with the hydrogen sulfide. In one embodiment, the enhancing catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt. The quaternary ammonium salt desirably is added in an amount of about 2.5 wt %.
- The glyoxal is added to the heavy oil in an amount sufficient to reduce the levels of hydrogen sulfide in the heavy oil. In one embodiment, glyoxal may be added in an amount of from about 1 ppm to about 2000 ppm, and desirably between about 1 ppm and about 500 ppm by volume, based on the velocity of the heavy oil through the processing equipment and the concentration of hydrogen sulfide. In another embodiment, glyoxal may be added in an amount of from about 10 ppm to about 200 ppm by volume. Any amount of hydrogen sulfide in the heavy oil may be reduced and the actual amount of residual hydrogen sulfide will vary depending on the starting amount. In one embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide levels are reduced to 150 ppm by volume or less, as measured in the vapor phase, based on the volume of the heavy oil. In another embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide levels are reduced to 100 ppm by volume or less, as measured in the vapor phase, based on the volume of the heavy oil. In another embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide levels are reduced to 50 ppm by volume or less, as measured in the vapor phase, based on the volume of the heavy oil. In another embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide levels are reduced to 20 ppm by volume or less, as measured in the vapor phase, based on the volume of the heavy oil. It is believed that emulsification of the water-based scavenger in the hydrocarbon media greatly increases the surface area of the aqueous phase. This increased surface area in combination with the temperature required to move the hydrocarbon media in the pipeline allows for efficient transfer of actives into the hydrocarbon phase. This effective application of the scavenger reduces the amount of chemical that is needed to be added to the hydrocarbon media. Additionally, aided by turbulent flow in the pipeline, the water-based scavenger/oil micro-emulsion takes several hours to separate. Typically, this allows sufficient time for the heavy oil to flow through the
processing equipment 12 and into a suitable storage facility, thus, reducing any corrosion effects on theprocessing equipment 12. - While the disclosure has been illustrated and described in typical embodiments, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present disclosure. As such, further modifications and equivalents of the disclosure herein disclosed may occur to persons skilled in the art using no more than routine experimentation, and all such modifications and equivalents are believed to be within the scope of the disclosure as defined by the following claims.
