Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012041785A1] Process for separating kinetic hydrate inhibitor polymers having a molecular weight of at least 1000 Da from an aqueous mixture further comprising hydrocarbons and salts which process comprises contacting the aqueous mixture with the feed side of a membrane having an average pore diameter of from 0.7 to 4nm, and obtaining at the permeate side of the membrane an aqueous permeate of which the concentration of kinetic hydrate inhibitor polymer is at most 20 % of that of the aqueous mixture.
