Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided whereby a hydrocarbon gas and liquid mixture is separated into a first fluid and a second fluid. The first fluid is vaporized to form a vapor which is commingled with the second fluid. The commingled fluid is passed through a superheating exchange means wherein the commingled fluid is superheated prior to passing to a flare for combustion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recovering condensable vapor which is expelled from a container during filling by collecting and compressing the vapor after which the compressed vapor is cooled by cooling means. Upon cooling, a portion of the vapor is condensed after which the condensate is separated from the vapor in a separator. The vapor portion is then placed into heat transfer relation with heat exchange means which is operable to further cool and condense the vapor. The heat exchange means uses a portion of the vapor as the coolant after the vapor has been expanded through expansion means to effect cooling of the coolant vapor. The vapor used as the coolant is then conducted to a point of use. The recovered liquefied portion of the vapor can be returned to the container from which the vapor was displaced.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon desulfurization system that circulates fluidizable solid particles through a fluidized bed reactor, a fluidized bed regenerator, and a fluidized bed reducer to thereby provide for substantially continuous desulfurization of a hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream and substantially continuous regeneration of the solid particles. A novel transport system is employed for transporting the solid particles between the reactor, the regenerator, and the reducer. The transport system uses close-coupled vessels and gravity flow between various vessels to minimize equipment cost and particle attrition.
