Methods for using material from biodiesel production in hydrocarbon production and refining

摘要

An oil or gas treating fluid is provided by processing the waste stream from biodiesel production. The waste stream may be used to treat for hydrate formation in hydrocarbon gas streams, to prevent or break oil and water emulsions formed in hydrocarbon streams, to prevent or remove scales in hydrocarbon streams and as an absorption medium for removing unwanted components of gas streams
