Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9910453A1] The invention comprises a method for reducing the amount of carboxylic acids in petroleum feeds comprising the steps of (a) adding to said petroleum feed a catalytic agent comprising an oil soluble or oil dispersible compound of a metal selected from the group consisting of Group VB, VIB, VIIB and VIII metals, wherein the amount of metal in said petroleum feed is at least about 5 wppm, (b) heating said petroleum feed with said catalytic agent in a reactor at a temperature of about 400 to about 800 DEG F (about 204.44 to about 426.67 DEG C), under a hydrogen pressure of 15 psig to 1000 psig (204.75 to 6996.33 kPa), and (c) sweeping the reactor containing said petroleum feed and said catalytic agent with hydrogen-containing gas at a rate sufficient to maintain the combined water and carbon dioxide partial pressure below about 50 psia (about 344.75 kPa).
