摘要:
Methods for converting hydrocarbon gases into hydrocarbon liquids through Fischer-Tropsch methods. In addition to liquid hydrocarbons, a waste gas containing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons with less than 6 carbon atoms, is produced. The waste gas is separated and several gas streams are produced. One such gas stream contains methane, and has a recovery rate, in terms of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, of at least 60%. Another gas stream has a recovery rate, in terms of carbon dioxide, of at least 40%. A supplementary gas stream, which contains hydrocarbons with at least 2 carbon atoms, is also created.
摘要:
A method of treatment of a gas mixture which contains H2, H2S and possibly of other impurities, such as hydrocarbons. The treatment method is aimed at purifying the hydrogen mixture without incurring a overall pressure loss. The method according to the invention uses a device for pressure swing adsorption where the device includes an integrated compressor. In each adsorber of the device a pressure swing cycle is carried out which includes the steps of: adsorption, decompression, purge, and repressurization.

A gas burner for use with a Claus furnace made up of at least five concentric tubes and the spaces formed between them. The diameters of the tubes increase radially outward so that the first tube has a smaller diameter than the fifth tube. At the end of the burner closest to the furnace, the tube ends of the third, fourth, and fifth tubes lie in the same plane. The first and the second tubes are fastened together and capable of movement along the central longitudinal axis of the burner, but their ends closest the furnace are not capable of moving past the plane formed by the third, fourth, and fifth tubes. An injector is located between the first and second tubes at the end closest the furnace. The injector is oriented towards the periphery of the burner.

A method for recovering hydrocarbons from a reservoir includes separating air into a nitrogen-rich gas and an oxygen-rich gas, oxidizing a hydrocarbon fuel with at least part of the oxygen-rich gas to produce steam and a CO2-rich gas, injecting at least part of the steam through an injection well into the reservoir to heat the hydrocarbons, purging the injection well with at least part of the nitrogen-rich gas, and injecting at least part of the CO2-rich gas into the reservoir containing the heated hydrocarbons.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for treating sulfur containing waste streams, comprising: a) injecting said sulfur containing waste streams into a sulfuric acid regeneration unit so as to produce a sulfur dioxide containing effluent; b) passing a portion of said sulfur dioxide containing effluent to a Claus thermal reactor, and c) diverting a portion of said portion of said sulfur dioxide containing effluent of step b to a Claus catalytic reactor that is downstream from said Claus thermal reactor in an amount sufficient to maintain the average temperature in the Claus thermal reactor to be less than 3,250.degree. F.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for treatment of a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen, H2S and possibly other components such as hydrocarbons. The aim of the invention is to separate the hydrogen from the other components of the mixture whilst retaining the initial pressure of the gaseous mixture. According to the invention a treatment unit is used, comprising a pressure-modulated adsorption unit (PSA) with an integral compressor which compresses the recycle gas within the PSA.
摘要:
A method for partially oxidizing, in a Claus furnace, at least one gas containing hydrogen sulfide and ammonia with at least one gas rich in oxygen. The residual ammonia content at the outlet of the furnace is measured with a laser diode. Based upon this measurement, the flow rates of the ammonia containing gases and the oxygen rich gases may be modified to obtain the desired residual ammonia content.
