    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for compressing a gas are disclosed. A low-pressure gas is drawn into a vessel through a source gas inlet. The source gas inlet and a liquid gas outlet are sealed. A liquid is pumped into the vessel through a liquid inlet such that the low-pressure gas is compressed to produce a high-pressure gas. The liquid inlet is sealed. A destination gas outlet is opened and the high-pressure gas is passed out of the vessel. The destination gas outlet is sealed. The source gas inlet is opened. A liquid outlet is opened and the liquid is removed out of the vessel such that the low-pressure gas is drawn into the vessel as the liquid is removed from the vessel.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for separating a vapor from a gas are disclosed. A gas is passed through a direct-contact exchanger. The exchanger using a contact liquid to cool the gas. The gas comprises a vapor. A portion of the vapor is condensed as the gas passes through the direct-contact exchanger, producing a product liquid and a vapor-depleted gas. The product liquid is immiscible in the contact liquid. The product liquid is gravity settled from the contact liquid such that the contact liquid and the product liquid separate in the direct-contact exchanger.

    摘要: A method for cryogenic cooling without fouling is disclosed. The method comprises providing a first cryogenic liquid saturated with a dissolved gas; expanding the first cryogenic liquid into a separation vessel, separating into a vapor, a second cryogenic liquid, and a first solid; drawing the vapor into a heat exchanger and the second cryogenic liquid and the first solid out of the separation vessel; cooling the vapor against a coolant through the heat exchanger, causing the vapor to form a third cryogenic liquid and a second solid, the second solid dissolving in the third cryogenic liquid; and combining the second cryogenic liquid and the first solid with the third cryogenic liquid, producing a final cooled slurry. In this manner, the cryogenic cooling is accomplished without fouling.

    摘要: A method for separating a dissolved product from a liquid is disclosed. A carrier liquid is cooled in a direct-contact exchanger, the direct-contact exchanger using a liquid coolant to cool the carrier liquid. The carrier liquid comprises a dissolved product. The carrier liquid and the liquid coolant are substantially immiscible. A portion of the dissolved product is condensed, frozen, deposited, desublimated, or a combination thereof out of the carrier liquid as a solid product at a liquid-liquid interface between the liquid coolant and the carrier liquid. The solid product is entrained in the carrier liquid, the liquid coolant, or a combination thereof. The solid product is separated from the carrier liquid, the liquid coolant, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: A method for separating solids from liquids is disclosed. A double-roller system is provided. A process fluid is provided to the double-roller system. The process fluid comprises a suspended solid and a process liquid. The suspended solid comprises non-fibrous solid particles. A portion of the process fluid is compressed through the double-roller system to produce a compressed portion of the suspended solid. A product stream and a dilute fluid stream are separated. The product stream comprises a compressed portion of the suspended solid and a first portion of the process liquid. The dilute fluid stream comprises a second portion of the suspended solid and a second portion of the process liquid.

    摘要: A device and a method for separating a vapor component from a gas is disclosed. A vessel comprising a top portion and a bottom portion is provided. The top portion comprises a gas outlet, a fluid inlet, and a direct-contact heat exchanger. The bottom portion comprises an indirect-contact heat exchanger, a gas inlet manifold, and a fluid outlet manifold. The indirect-contact heat exchanger is aligned vertically and comprises parallel exchange surfaces. Plenums between the exchange surfaces comprise alternating, adjacent ascending gas channels and descending fluid channels. The gas inlet manifold comprises one or more inlets adjacent to a top portion of each of the ascending gas channels. The fluid outlet manifold comprises one or more outlets adjacent to a bottom portion of each of the descending fluid channels.
