Systems and methods for separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids are provided. More particularly, the disclosure is relevant to separating fluids having a gas phase, a hydrocarbon liquid phase, and an aqueous liquid phase using indirect heating. In general, the system uses a first gas separation followed by pressure reduction and then a second gas separation. Indirect follows the second gas separation and then three-phase separation.

In some examples a printing system includes purging manifolds. The printing system includes a fluid ejection device to dispense a fluid and a first reservoir to house a fluid. The system further includes a purging manifold to fluidically couple to the fluid ejection device, and the purging manifold to fluidically couple to the first reservoir. The purging manifold includes a second reservoir. The purging manifold further includes a supply port; a fluid inlet port; and a purging outlet port. The purging outlet port is disposed above the supply port to convey fluid to the first reservoir. The printing system also includes a fluid interface connector to fluidically connect to the supply port and fluidically connect to the fluid ejection device.

A flow back system for separating solids from a slurry recovered from a hydrocarbon well. The system includes a V-shaped tank with a first series of baffles configured to cause the settling of solids that are moved by a shaftless auger to a conduit fluidly connected to hydrocyclones mounted over a linear shaker. The overflow from the hydrocyclones is discharged through a second conduit back into the tank for processing by a second series of baffles resulting in a clean effluent. The clean effluent is recirculated in the well.

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%.

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.

A passive phase separator includes an input conduit including an inlet through which multi-phase flow enters the input conduit and a gas conduit formed at an angle from the input conduit. A liquid removal chamber is formed in line with the input conduit. The gas conduit is closer to the inlet than the liquid removal chamber. The liquid removal chamber holds liquid from the multi-phase flow, and the gas conduit carries gas from the multi-phase flow.

A method and chemical delivery system and device are provided. One method includes contacting a non-aqueous hydrazine solution with a carrier gas and/or vacuum and delivering a gas stream comprising hydrazine to a critical process or application. One chemical delivery system and device includes a non-aqueous hydrazine solution having a vapor phase that is in contact with a carrier gas and/or vacuum. One device includes a chamber for containing a liquid comprising at least one volatile process chemical, such as a non-aqueous hydrazine solution, a hydrogen peroxide solution, or another suitable process chemical, and a head space from which the volatile can be drawn using a carrier gas and/or vacuum. Another method useful in the present invention involves drawing a process chemical from a device as a disclosed herein using a carrier or vacuum and delivering the process chemical to a critical process or application.

One method disclosed herein of processing a process fluid that comprises dissolved gas includes performing a degassing process on the process fluid by heating the process fluid via heat transfer with a heat transfer fluid, wherein at least some amount of the heat transfer fluid condenses in the first heat transfer process and latent heat of the heat transfer fluid as it condenses is used to increase the temperature of the process fluid. Thereafter, the heat transfer fluid is passed through an expansion device so as to produce a post-expansion heat transfer fluid. The temperature of the heated process fluid is decreased by performing a second heat transfer process between the post-expansion heat transfer fluid and the heated process fluid, wherein the temperature of the post-expansion heat transfer fluid is increased and the latent heat that was supplied to the process fluid in the first heat transfer process is removed.

The present invention relates to a gas/liquid separator. According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a gas/liquid separator, including a housing including a first supply part and a second supply part; a rotary shaft rotatably provided to the housing; a drive unit configured to rotate the rotary shaft; fixed cones disposed in an interior of the housing and each including a tilted area, diameters of which are decreased in a direction from the first supply part to the second supply part, a first through-hole, which passes the rotary shaft, and at least one second through-hole, through which a second fluid introduced via the second supply part passes; and rotary cones disposed in an interior of the housing so as to be spaced apart from the fixed cones and installed at the rotary shaft so as to rotate about the rotary shaft.

An aircraft fuel deoxygenation system includes a boost pump, a contactor-separator, and a centrifuge-separator pump. The boost pump is adapted to receive fuel from a fuel source and inert gas from an inert gas source, and is configured to mix the fuel and inert gas and supply a fuel/gas mixture. The contactor-separator is coupled to receive the fuel/gas mixture and is configured to remove oxygen from the fuel and thereby generate and supply deoxygenated fuel with entrained purge gas and separated purge gas. The centrifuge-separator pump is coupled to receive the deoxygenated fuel with entrained purge gas and is configured to separate and remove the entrained purge gas from the deoxygenated fuel and supply the deoxygenated fuel and additional purge gas.
