The present disclosure related generally to a process for removing chloride-containing organic compounds from renewable and bio-feedstocks. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present disclosure provides for a process for processing a liquid feed, the process comprising: providing a liquid feed that comprises one or more fatty acids and/or fatty acid esters, the liquid feed having a first chloride concentration by weight of chloride-containing organic compounds; and contacting the liquid feed with a solid treatment material to remove at least a fraction of the chloride-containing organic compounds to produce a treated liquid feed having a second chloride concentration that is less than the first chloride concentration, wherein the solid treatment material comprises an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal in ionic form.

A method for determining a TAN-IR for naphthenic acids in crude oil or crude oil fraction may include determining an IR spectrum of a sample of the crude oil or crude oil fraction. The method may include determining an IR spectrum of a neutralized sample of the crude oil or crude oil fraction. The method may include utilizing the IR spectra of the sample and the neutralized sample to determine a modified TAN-IR.

A method, process, and system are disclosed for removing silicon-containing compounds from refinery hydrocarbon streams using alkaline treatment. The refinery stream, which may originate from units such as a crude stream, delayed coker, or other process unit, is contacted with an alkaline agent, such as a solid or an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or an amine. This treatment extracts at least a portion of the silicon-containing compounds, including organic silicon species, from the hydrocarbon stream. The process may be applied to whole streams or specific fractions such as LPG, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, or coker gas oil. Following alkaline treatment, the hydrocarbon stream may be directed to a hydrotreating unit, where reduced silicon content reduces catalyst poisoning.
