摘要:
A feed stream, comprising hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), hydrogen (H 2 ) and, optionally, carbon monoxide (CO), is separated into at least a CO 2 product stream and an H 2 or H 2 and CO product stream. The stream is separated using a pressure swing adsorption system, an H 2 S removal system and a further separation system, which systems are used in series to separate the stream. The method has particular application in the separation of a sour (i.e. sulphur containing) syngas, as for example produced from the gasification of solid or heavy liquid carbonaceous feedstock.

The present invention called a patient ventilator oxygen concentration system advantageously utilizes an existing suitable air supply and provides a modular oxygen concentrator that uses the existing air supply and a medical grade air filtration package for providing medical grade using the existing air supply. The oxygen concentrator has multiple bed pairs which can be selectively activated. If one of the multiple bed pairs is not activated, the excess air provided by the existing air supply is filtered and medical grade air is supplied instead of oxygen gas for use with patient ventilators.

A sanitary slider valve shown specifically as a rotary carousel diaphragm valve which has a thermoplastic elastomeric diaphragm (230) integrally molded to form the multiple sealing ports of the rotor/stator interface is described. Ports or grooves molded into the face of the elastomeric diaphragm are positioned to sealably engage grooves or ports in the stator face, and to form sanitary elastomeric tubular ducts leading through the body of the rotor or of the stator, terminating as elastomeric flanges. These flanges permit direct connection to sanitary flared piping flanges within the carousel which lead to and from multiple columns or other solid phase bed segments, or to sanitary flared piping flanges connecting the stator to piping interconnecting the multiple carousel columns to each other and to external supply and collection lines. Sanitary operation is made operable by energized flexible diaphragm wiping lip seals (222) which maintain fluid-tight sealing engagement with the opposing face even when the rotor (201) is lifted off the stator (300) far enough to permit cross flushing of the port sealing faces with sanitizing fluid. The valve permits sanitary operation of advanced chromatographic separations of biopharmaceuticals, including simulated moving bed chromatography.

Separation process of gaseous impurities from hydrogen gas by the known pressure swing adsorption method uses a holding column of the feed-in/feed-out sequence retaining type and at least three adsorption columns containing adsorbents. Each adsorption column is pressurized and depressurized in cycle to repeat adsorption and desorption, during which the holding column is used as an intermediate gas reservoir so that the efficiency of the separation of the impurity can be improved. In this invention, at least one of the following structures is used as the holding column:
j) at least one row of spaces divided by partition walls and arranged in series; k) at least one hollow body; and l) at least one row of divided compartments arranged in series.

A fluid-solids contacting apparatus, which is useful in simultaneously contacting several different liquid streams with different parts of a fixed bed of solid material, comprises an imperforate centerpipe (2) mounted in an outer vessel (1) with discoid layers of fluid distributor pans (4) being suspended from the centerpipe (2) and the vessel (1). A fluid may be added or withdrawn at any layer through conduits (6) leading to annular distribution rings (3) mounted on the centerpipe (2), with smaller pipes (5) branching radially from the distribution rings to the individual distributor pans (4). Each distributor pan (4) preferably comprises upper and lower particle retaining screens (14, 15) and two flat flow diversion plates (20, 21) which force the fluid to flow to a central mixing area between the plates and at which the smaller pipe (5) connects with the distributor pan (4). The distributor pans (4) thereby serve to mix and redistribute fluids flowing through the apparatus.

Disclosed is a method of sequentially separating and recovering one or more NGLs (129, 229) from a natural gas feedstream (3). Specifically, a raw natural gas feedstream (3) is passed through two or more NGLs separation unit (100, 200) wherein each separation unit removes one or more NGLs from the natural gas feedstream to provide a methane-rich natural gas supply (205). Each separation unit employs an adsorption media and has an adsorption step and a media regeneration step wherein the regeneration step may be operated as a batch process, a semi-continuous process, or a continuous process. One embodiment of this method provides for the use of a different regenerable adsorbent media in each separation unit.
