View page
US Patent:
20210069638, Mar 11, 2021
Filed:
Jul 31, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/944437
Inventors:
- Spring TX, US
Shwetha RAMKUMAR - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/18
B01D 53/14
B01D 53/52
B01D 53/78
Abstract:
A co-axial co-current contactor (CA-CCC) is described herein. The CA-CCC includes an outer annular support ring and an inner annular support ring configured to maintain the CA-CCC within an outer pipe and an inner pipe, respectively. The CA-CCC includes rich liquid flow channels located between the outer annular support ring and the inner annular support ring that are configured to allow a rich liquid stream to flow through the CA-CCC, and a central gas entry cone and gas flow channels configured to allow a gas stream to flow through the CA-CCC. The CA-CCC further includes radial blades configured to secure the central gas entry cone to the inner annular support ring and allow a lean liquid stream to flow into the central gas entry cone and the gas flow channels. The CA-CCC provides for efficient incorporation of liquid droplets formed from the lean liquid stream into the gas stream.

View page
US Patent:
20190054415, Feb 21, 2019
Filed:
Aug 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/102278
Inventors:
David W. Maher - Spring TX, US
Shwetha Ramkumar - Cypress TX, US
P. Scott Northrop - The Woodlands TX, US
Robert D. Denton - Bellaire TX, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/14
B01D 61/24
B01D 11/04
Abstract:
A method of separating impurities from a natural gas stream. COand HS are separated from the natural gas stream in a membrane separation system, thereby creating a partially-treated gas stream and a permeate gas stream, both of which are at a lower temperature than the natural gas stream. The partially-treated gas stream is contacted with a first lean solvent stream in a first contactor to separate HS from the partially-treated gas stream, thereby producing a first rich solvent stream and a fully-treated gas stream. The permeate gas stream is contacted with a second lean solvent stream in a second contactor to separate HS therefrom to produce a second rich solvent stream and a COgas stream. HS and COare removed from the first and second rich solvent streams, thereby producing the first and second lean solvent streams.

Appl. No.:
16/102297
Inventors:
David W. Maher - Spring TX, US
Shwetha Ramkumar - Cypress TX, US
P. Scott Northrop - The Woodlands TX, US
Robert D. Denton - Bellaire TX, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/14
B01D 61/24
Abstract:
A method of separating impurities from a natural gas stream. The natural gas stream is cooled through heat exchange with one or more process streams to produce a chilled gas stream, which is contacted with a lean solvent stream in a contactor to separate hydrogen sulfide (HS) from the chilled gas stream, thereby producing a rich solvent stream and a partially-treated gas stream. Carbon dioxide (CO) and HS are separated from the partially-treated gas stream in a membrane separation system, thereby creating a fully-treated gas stream and a permeate gas stream, the permeate gas stream being comprised primarily of HS and CO, and the fully-treated gas stream being comprised primarily of natural gas. The fully-treated gas stream and the permeate gas stream are at a lower temperature than the partially-treated gas stream. The fully-treated gas stream and the permeate gas stream comprise the one or more process streams.
