Disclosed are methods and systems for removing a highly reactive polymer precursor such as carbonyls from a liquid hydrocarbon stream. Embodiments may disclose a method for removal of carbonyls from a liquid hydrocarbon stream comprising the steps of providing a liquid hydrocarbon stream containing carbonyls, providing a liquid bisulfite stream comprising an alkali metal bisulfite, and contacting the liquid hydrocarbon stream and the liquid bisulfite stream in a mass transfer device wherein at least a portion of the carbonyl reacts with the alkali metal bisulfite to form a solid adduct that is soluble in the bisulfite solution.

Non-condensable gas is used as an alternate to steam at hydrocarbon processing facilities removing any steam requirements thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving profitability through capital and operating cost reductions. The non-condensable gas serves at least two functions sequentially in heavy hydrocarbon processing; firstly, providing the non-condensable gas as a stripping medium to evolve lighter hydrocarbons from the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock followed by secondly directing the same non-condensable gas and any evolved non-condensable gas at operating conditions for use as at least one of heat through combustion or power through electricity generation.

The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a plurality of combustible gases from a rock and producing energy using the combustible gases. The method allows the utilization of shale rocks which are practically just waste, and enables producing a plurality of hydrocarbons in an aerobic condition. Obtaining combustible gases using the method disclosed in the present invention reduces the usage of fossil fuels. Thus, it is more environment-friendly compared to using fuels.

Described herein are fuel modifiers for natural gas reciprocating engines, while recognizing the application of the inventions herein may be applied more broadly, to other natural gas-based engine systems. The fuel modifiers are primarily free-radical initiators, and the presence of this fuel modifier allows the engine operator to operate the engine under leaner conditions because, while employing the same ignition energy, more free-radicals are formed, thus overcoming the problems associated with dilution of the pool of free-radicals in the flame.

Compositions corresponding to marine diesel fuels, fuel oils, jet fuels, and/or blending components thereof are provided that include at least a portion of a natural gas condensate fraction. Natural gas condensate fractions derived from a natural gas condensate with sufficiently low API gravity can provide a source of low sulfur, low pour point blend stock for formation of marine diesel and/or fuel oil fractions. Natural gas condensate fractions can provide these advantages and/or other advantages without requiring prior hydroprocessing and/or cracking.
