Zusammenfassung:THE PRESENT INVENTION IS A PROCESS TO REDUCE THE FOULING OF EQUIPMENT FOR PROCESSING PETROLEUM FEEDSTREAMS . THE FOULING IS REDUCED BY REDUCING THE PRESENCE OF PEROXIDES AND HYDROPEROXIDES IN THE FEEDSTREAM . THE STEPS OF THE PROCESS INCLUDE MIXING THE FEEDSTREAM WITH AN AQUEOUS PHASE CONTAINING A BASE AND A PHASE TRANSFER CATALYST . THE BASE REACTS WITH THE PEROXIDES AND HYDROPEROXIDES . THE OIL PHASE CAN THEN BE FURTHER PROCESSED WITH MINIMUM FOULING OF THE EQUIPMENT . THE AQUEOUS PHASE IS RECYCCLED FOR REACTING WITH FRESH PETROLEUM FEEDSTREAM .
