Abstract: A system for project categorization and assessment that can employ multivariate analysis techniques to classify a current project by using attributes of the current project to identify project objects representing completed projects similar to the current project. Project data sets of points in a project lifetime can be represented as pictures, having attribute pixels. Pattern recognition techniques can be used on the project pictures. The system can generate eigenprojects for large project object groups or for classification across multiple groups. Aspects of a classified current project can be assessed to suggest project management actions.

Abstract: A method for removing heavy hydrocarbons from a feed gas by: feeding, into an absorber, a top reflux stream and a second reflux stream below the top reflux stream, wherein the absorber produces an absorber bottom product stream and an absorber overhead product stream; depressurizing and feeding the absorber bottom product stream to a stripper to produce a stripper bottom product stream and a stripper overhead product stream; cooling and feeding a portion of the absorber overhead product stream back to the absorber as the top reflux stream; and pressurizing and feeding the stripper overhead product stream back to the absorber as the second reflux stream. Systems for carrying out the method are also provided.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a welding process can include adaptively welding a first workpiece to a second workpiece to form a welded joint, monitoring the welded joint during the adaptive welding using one or more sensors, receiving one or more welding parameters from the one or more sensors, using the one or more welding parameters with a welding envelope, and determining a weld quality of the welded joint using the welding envelope. The welding envelope can define a boundary for an acceptable weld quality based on the one or more welding parameters.

Abstract: A LNG liquefaction plant includes a propane recovery unit including an inlet for a feed gas, a first outlet for a LPG, and a second outlet for an ethane-rich feed gas, an ethane recovery unit including an inlet coupled to the second outlet for the ethane-rich feed gas, a first outlet for an ethane liquid, and a second outlet for a methane-rich feed gas, and a LNG liquefaction unit including an inlet coupled to the second outlet for the methane-rich feed gas, a refrigerant to cool the methane-rich feed gas, and an outlet for a LNG. The LNG plant may also include a stripper, an absorber, and a separator configured to separate the feed gas into a stripper liquid and an absorber vapor. The stripper liquid can be converted to an overhead stream used as a reflux stream to the absorber.

Abstract: The various processes of an ethane cracker plant may be segmented into separate process blocks, which may be interconnected using fluid conduits and/or electrical connections. These process blocks may be directly connected, for example without an external piperack or other external piping interconnecting process blocks. Each process block may be formed of one or more modules The process blocks can include an ethane cracking furnace, a steam generation process, a water stripper, a water quench, a compression, a caustic scrubber, a drier, a deethanizer, an acetylene conversion, a demethanizer, a refrigerator, or a splitter.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing the recondensation of boiloff gas in liquid natural gas storage tanks are presented. In especially preferred aspects of the inventive subject matter, BOG from a storage tank is condensed using refrigeration content of a portion of LNG sendout in a direct or indirect manner, and the BOG condensate and LNG sendout portion are combined to form a subcooled stream that is then combined with the balance of the LNG sendout, to be fed to a high pressure pump. Contemplated recondensation operations advantageously occur without using otherwise needed large volume recondensers. Moreover, the condensing and subcooling operations are decoupled from the LNG sendout rate.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for pre-cooling a natural gas stream to a liquefaction plant. A system may comprise a compressor configured to receive a first natural gas stream at a first pressure and produce a second natural gas stream at a second pressure; an exchanger, wherein the exchanger is configured to receive the second natural gas stream as the second pressure and cool the second natural gas stream to produce a cooled natural gas stream; and an expander, wherein the expander is configured to receive the cooled natural gas stream and expand the cooled natural gas stream from the second pressure to a third pressure.
