Abstract:
A system for removing mercaptan contaminants from both liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon streams and methods thereof are described. An additive that reacts with said contaminant to form water-soluble compounds is injected into the hydrocarbon streams.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of mercaptan removal from a hydrocarbon stream using the system in claim I comprising:\n supplying a hydrocarbon stream having sulfur-containing contaminants; injecting an additive comprising a hydroxyl and polyhydric alcohol mixture into said hydrocarbon stream; mixing said additive and said hydrocarbon stream in said first mixer, then said contactor vessel, wherein said additive reacts with said sulfur-containing contaminants to form water soluble compounds, wherein said mixing forms a hydrocarbon-water soluble compound stream; injecting water into said hydrocarbon-water soluble compound stream; mixing said water and said hydrocarbon-water soluble compound stream, wherein said water solubilizes said water-soluble compounds; and, separating said water soluble compounds and said water from said hydrocarbon-water soluble compound stream to form a treated hydrocarbon stream.
