Abstract:
Reconcentration of liquid desiccant, such as glycol, used in the dehydration of gaseous steams, is accomplished by aiding the separation of water subsequent the reboiler by an induced vacuum into a separate flash chamber. The vacuum is created by a pump that is fluid impelled by either the desiccant or gas available in the process.
Abstract:
An electrostatic process and means for the removal of water from an oil-water emulsion and comprising the step of continuously flowing the oil-water emulsion through a series of divided wash trays, each said tray having a plurality of electrodes therein for creating an electrostatic field within the oil-water emulsion for stripping ionized water particles away from the oil.
Abstract:
Hygroscopic liquid used to dehydrate wet gas streams is regenerated by causing the liquid to flow through a reverse osmosis system after which the liquid is stored and/or reused for dehydration.
Abstract:
A new composition of matter comprising 100 parts of 50 weight percent calcium chloride and 15 parts magnesium nitrate, and a process for using the new composition of matter for dehydrating gaseous petroleum hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
The gas supply to a burner to ignite same is used as the source of energy for ignition eliminating the usual pilot light. A time delay and safety interlock provide for gas shut-off in the event of burner flame-out. The apparatus includes gas controlled flame sensor valve and time delay mechanism and the system is adaptable to existing equipment using a pilot light as the ignitor and in which the pilot does not continue burning.
