摘要：

Availability of extra cold solvent in an existing solvent dewaxing unit (SDU) can increase dewaxed oil production by debottlenecking refrigeration, solvent recovery, and filtration sections of the unit. Mobil did this approach by adding an innovative membrane process, called Max-Dewax, to its Beaumont, Texas, refinery. This process selectively recovers cold solvent from the filtrate in an SDU. With this application, the firm developed the first large-scale commercial application of organic membranes for liquid-liquid hydrocarbon separation in the refining or petrochemical area.
