Abstract

Systems and methods for removing elemental sulfur from a hydrocarbon fluid using an adsorbent.

Claims (5)

1. A system for removing elemental sulfur from a hydrocarbon fluid, comprising:

a vessel for the hydrocarbon fluid;

an adsorbent for removing the elemental sulfur from the hydrocarbon fluid, the adsorbent selected from the group consisting of activated alumina, gamma-activated alumina and molecular sieves; and

a non-heated circulating gas stream in fluid communication with the adsorbent, the circulating gas stream comprising a portion of the hydrocarbon fluid without manufactured hydrogen sulfide.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the adsorbent is positioned within the vessel.
