Combustible compositions in the form of homogeneous water-in-oil and/or organic emulsions, deriving from heterogeneous fatty waste and containing solid particles in suspension are prepared by carrying out a dynamic homogenisation operation and an emulsification operation in the presence of an emulsifying agent and/or a base such as an alkali or alkaline-earth metal hydroxide. These combustible compositions can be used for combustion in a variety of furnace types.

Method and device for treating natural gas containing water and

A method of treating a gas, for example, natural gas containing at least one hydrocarbon and at least one acid gas to remove the acid gas from the natural gas and to produce at least one concentrated acid gas, wherein the gas is subjected to at least two stages of absorption using polar solvents having different properties.

Process for de-acidifying a gas for production of concentrated acid gases

A gas containing at least two constituents A and B having different temperatures is fractionated by carrying out at least the two cooling and contacting phases as follows:

Process and device for the simultaneous transfer of material and heat

A method and device for separating a continuous phase from at least one dispersed phase, with the phases having different densities. A mixture of the phases to be separated is supplied into a device including at least one cylindrical chamber vertically disposed and at least one static helically-shaped member is accommodated in the chamber. At least one face of the helically-shaped member is formed by a helicoidal surface. A maximum free path of a dispersed phase particle in a radial direction prior to colliding with the helically-shaped member is less than one quarter of a peripheral diameter of the member and, preferably, less than one tenth of an internal diameter of the chamber. The method and apparatus are capable of separating an aqueous phase from an organic phase such as, a petroleum fluid, with the mixture to be separated also possibly including a gaseous phase and a solid phase.

The benzene content of hydrocarbon gasolines is accomplished by (a) fractionating at least one hydrocarbon gasoline into a light fraction A, with an increased benzene content, and a heavy fraction B, with a reduced benzene content; (b) contacting the light fraction A at a temperature below room temperature with a gas containing at least a fraction of olefins in which the number of carbon atoms is from 2 to 5 per molecule so that at least a fraction of said olefins is absorbed in light fraction A; at the end of stage (b), separating a residual gas with a reduced olefin content from a liquid fraction C, with an increased olefin content; (d) passing the fraction C from stage (c) into an alkylation reactor so that at least a fraction of the benzene is alkylated by at least a fraction of the olefins; (e) fractionating the mixture emerging from stage (d) so as to produce, firstly, a gas phase chiefly comprising gases which were not converted during stage (d) and, secondly, a liquid phase, at least partly containing the non-alkylated benzene and alkylbenzenes; and (f) mixing the liquid phase from stage (e) with the heavy fraction B from stage (a).

Method of reducing the benzene content of gasolines

The invention relates to a process for producing alkylaromatic hydrocarbons from natural gas containing methane, characterized in that it comprises the following three successive stages:
