20230017163 · 2023-01-19 ·

The invention relates to a method for degassing a fluid comprising the following steps: supplying, at the inlet of a reactor comprising at least one microfluidic conduit, a fluid which can comprise at least one dissolved gas; then causing the fluid to flow through the reactor, the at least one conduit comprising a portion having a reduced hydraulic diameter, and the flow being set such that bubbles are generated by micro-cavitation, the fluid then comprising a liquid phase and a gas phase, then allowing the at least partial transfer of the at least one dissolved gas present in the fluid of the liquid phase to the gas phase; separating the liquid phase and the gas phase; and recovering the liquid phase to obtain the degassed fluid, the method not involving the application of ultrasound to the fluid between the step in which the fluid is supplied to the reactor and the step of separating the liquid phase and the gas phase.

Stacked-helical gas separator with gas discharge outlet
11702921 · 2023-07-18 · ·

A wellbore gas separator having a pair of helical ramps. The separator ingests a liquid-gas solution, and a pump draws the solution into a first course between the pair of ramps. As centrifugal force is imparted upon the solution prior to the pump inlet, gas is forced out of solution. The liquid portions of the solution may fall into a dead space prior to the pump inlet. Gaseous portions enter into a second course between the pair of ramps and escapes, unimpeded, up the separator before being released into an annulus of a wellbore.

Air bleeder and method for bleeding air

An air bleeder includes a branch, a lubricant supply conduit, and a return conduit. Lubricant stored in a tank is to be supplied to a valve provided in a machine tool via the lubricant supply conduit. The lubricant supply conduit includes a first supply conduit, and a second supply conduit. The first supply conduit connects the branch and the tank. The second supply conduit connects the branch at a first connecting position and the valve. The return conduit connects the tank and the branch at a second connecting position higher than the first connecting position in a height direction along a height of the air bleeder to return lubricant to the tank and to remove air from lubricant in the lubricant supply conduit.

SYSTEM FOR SEPARATING GAS
20230211283 · 2023-07-06 ·

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.

20230213251 · 2023-07-06 ·

A gas-liquid separation device includes a heat exchange member having a heat exchange tube spirally wound around a first cylinder body. The heat exchange tube includes a first flow passage, a tube wall surrounding the first flow passage, and a first extension portion protruding from the tube wall. A second flow passage is formed between the first cylinder body, the second cylinder body, and the heat exchange tube. The first extension portion is located in the second flow passage. A heat exchange area between the heat exchange tube and a fluid in the second flow passage is increased. The heat exchange effect between a fluid in the first flow passage and the fluid in the second flow passage is improved. A thermal management system having the gas-liquid separation device is also disclosed.

Gas separator and apparatus for measuring flow of one or more components of a multiphase medium, especially a natural gas-water mixture

A gas separator for separating a multiphase medium containing a gas and a liquid includes a tubular basic unit having a longitudinal axis, an intake for a gaseous medium, a liquid outlet and a gas outlet. The tubular basic unit has an intake region and a discharge region. The gas separator includes, between the intake region and the discharge region, a weir having a guiding surface, over which the medium can flow to form a shallow water region. The gas contained in the medium can escape from the medium in the shallow water region and be led away from the gas separator through the gas outlet. The disclosure is also directed to an apparatus for registering flow of at least one component of a multiphase medium.

LIQUEFYING AND DEHALOGENATING WASTE PLASTICS

A process and system for liquefying and dehalogenating a waste plastic are provided. Generally, the process comprises: (a) liquefying solid waste plastic to produce a liquefied waste plastic; (b) heating at least a portion of the molten waste plastic in a heat exchanger to thereby provide a heated liquefied waste plastic; (c) sparging a stripping gas into the heated liquefied waste plastic to produce a multi-phase mixture; and (d) disengaging a gaseous phase from a liquid phase of the multi-phase mixture to thereby provide a halogen-enriched gaseous material and a halogen-depleted liquefied waste plastic.
