Title:
PROCESS FOR UPGRADING SWEETENED OR OXYGEN-CONTAMINATED KEROSENE OR JET FUEL, TO MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE ITS TENDENCY TO POLYMERIZE OR FOUL WHEN HEATED
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/163053
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process is presented for the removal of oxygen from a hydrocarbon stream. The oxygen can react and cause polymerization of the hydrocarbons when the hydrocarbon stream is heated. Controlling the removal of the oxygen from the hydrocarbon stream produces a hydrocarbon stream that is substantially free of oxygen and has a reduced activity for generating undesired compounds.
