A process for the reduction of flaring/venting gases during completions operations on an oil/gas well, said process comprising providing a well in need of completion; providing a system to capture oil and gas generated by the well; the system including a primary separator to separate an incoming well stream into a plurality of streams wherein a first stream is sent to a pipeline and a second stream is sent for further processing. The process further includes flowing and collecting a third stream of gas in a gas pressure vessel; compressing the collected gas in the vessel until parameters of compressed gas are compressed to provide a constant feed to the pipeline; and transferring the compressed gas to the gas pipeline wherein the process reduces the amount of gas flared and/or vented during operation by over 80%.

An improved system for separating gas from a process stream by providing a stripping unit at the overhead stream of a fractionation column to selectively and effectively remove the gas using a stripping fluid without providing a dedicated light-ends separations unit. The stripper unit may be connected to the reflux drum at the overhead stream. The system for separating gas further achieves greater thermodynamic efficiency by means of a split column design using mechanical vapor recompression with the reboiler and condenser integrated in a falling-film evaporator- or thermosiphon-type vapo-condenser.

A system for stabilizing a hydrocarbon feedstock includes a High Pressure Separation (HPS) unit in fluid communication with a feedstock inlet. The HPS unit includes an oil outlet. The system includes a heated Low Pressure (LP) separator unit downstream from and in fluid communication with the oil outlet of the HPS unit. The heated LP separator unit includes an oil outlet. The system includes a heat exchanger positioned between the HPS unit and the heated LP separator unit.

The disclosure provides for the integration of a fermentation process with at least one electrolysis process, a CO.sub.2 to CO conversion unit, and a C1-generating industrial process. In particular, the disclosure provides process and a system for utilizing electrolysis products, for example H.sub.2 and/or O.sub.2 in a CO.sub.2 to CO conversion unit to improve the process efficiency of at least one of the fermentation processes or the C1-generating industrial process. More particularly, the disclosure provides a process in which H.sub.2 generated by electrolysis is passed to a CO.sub.2 to CO conversion unit to improve the substrate efficiency for a fermentation process, and the O.sub.2 generated by electrolysis process is used to improve the composition of the C1-containing tail gas generated by the C1-generating industrial process.

An air-dirt separator adapted to reduce entrained and dissolved air and separate debris from fluid moving through the air-dirt separator is described in the present disclosure. The air-dirt separator includes a degasser unit adapted to reduce pressure in a cavity within the air-dirt separator to enable improved dissolved air reduction.

A filtration system for downstream processing of a suspension containing a labile solid material in a liquid medium, wherein dissolved gas in liquid environment is controlled to ensure optimal process conditions. The dissolved gas can be controlled by a gas-liquid interface by bubbling; a liquid-liquid interphase transfer process using a gas vector substance; a liquid-solid interphase transfer process using a gas permeable solid or a reaction evolving oxygen or other gas/gases. The retained solid material is removed in batch operations, continuous operations or mixed-type operations. The process can also include further filtration, heat-treatment, and removal of at least a part of the liquid. The filtration system could also process a concentrated suspension which is devoid of the free liquid, then heat-treated and the liquid produced by the treatment removed by further filtration. The solid material can be a biomass.

A method for recovering a distillable, anhydrous methane-sulfonic acid (MSA) liquid phase from an anhydrous 2-phase gas-liquid mixture wherein the anhydrous 2-phase gas-liquid mixture is generated by sulfonating methane (CH.sub.4) with sulfur trioxide (SO.sub.3) in an MSA-forming reactor, or reactor system, according to a radical chain reaction wherein the method comprises (i) separating the gas phase from the liquid phase, (ii) passing the separated liquid phase into a stripping column, and (iii) recovering the stripped anhydrous liquid phase.

A firm and stable liquid processing fixture for clamping a liquid container undergoing a centrifuge process includes a mounting plate, a cover plate, and a fixing element. The mounting plate defines a fixing groove for receiving the liquid container. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and is positioned at a side of the mounting groove. The cover plate is turned over to cover the mounting groove. The fixing element is connected to the mounting plate. The cover plate is detachably connected to the fixing element. The liquid processing fixture further fixes the liquid container in place by setting the cover plate on the mounting groove and fixing it with the fixing portion, and provides firm installation and simple operation. A liquid processing device is also disclosed.

The degassing device includes a degassing flow path, a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump, an inlet flow path, an outlet flow path, a drain flow path, a downstream side switching unit, and a controller. The degassing flow path is made of a gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable tube, and is accommodated in the vacuum chamber. The inlet flow path is for introducing a mobile phase to the degassing flow path, and the outlet flow path is for causing a mobile phase which has passed through the degassing flow path to flow out. The drain flow path is provided separately from the outlet flow path and is configured to drain the mobile phase in the degassing flow path from the degassing flow path. The downstream side switching unit is configured to switch the downstream end of the degassing flow path so as to be connected to either the outlet flow path or the drain flow path. The controller controls the operation of the downstream side switching unit, and is configured to connect the downstream end of the degassing flow path to the drain flow path at a predetermined timing when feeding of the mobile phase by the liquid feeding pump is stopped to drain the mobile phase in the degassing flow path through the drain flow path.

A fermentation apparatus for preserving the aroma of a fermentable beverage is provided. The fermentation apparatus comprises a flow passage fluidly connectable to the headspace located above a fermentable beverage in a fermentation container. A carbon dioxide scrubber in the flow passage receives a headspace fluid mixture comprising at least carbon dioxide gas and an aromatic fluid originating from the fermenting beverage. When the headspace fluid mixture contacts the carbon dioxide scrubber, the carbon dioxide scrubber retains a modified fluid in the flow passage. The modified fluid has a lower carbon dioxide gas concentration and a higher aromatic fluid concentration than the headspace fluid mixture. The flow passage directs the modified fluid back to the headspace to at least partially retain the aromatic fluid in the fermentable beverage in the fermentation container. A method for preserving the aroma of a fermentable beverage is also provided.
