The present invention relates to a gas-liquid separator, including a body enclosing a cavity; a gas outlet attached to the top of the body and communicated with the cavity; a liquid outlet attached to the bottom of the body and communicated with the cavity; and an input tube constructed to include a curve shape extending outside the body and communicated into the cavity from the external of the body. The gas-liquid separator of the present invention has got the advantages of a simple structure, easy manufacturing, convenient mounting, and the like, and can separate a gas-liquid two-phase mixture efficiently, thus providing a purer gas flow and a purer liquid flow for downstream processing apparatuses and improving the overall efficiency of the system.

A separator for separating wellbore emulsions into liquid and gaseous components has helical emulsion preheat coils encircling a single-cylinder, dual chamber firetube disposed inside a horizontal separator vessel. In use, emulsion enters the preheat coils before entering the separator vessel. The flow of emulsion through the helical coils promotes initial separation of the emulsion by means of heat transfer and centrifugal flow. Resultant centripetal force separates lighter gaseous and liquid particles toward the inside of the helical coils, while heavier emulsion fractions condense toward the outside of the helical coils. The use of helical preheat coils and a single-cylinder, dual-chamber firetube eliminate or minimize abrupt changes in emulsion flow direction that are characteristic of prior art separators, resulting in reduced wear in both the coils and the firetube.

The present invention includes a pipe body having a hollow part, a liquid flows through at least a lower part of the hollow part, and of which one end is connected to a lubricating oil tank, wherein lubricating oil is introduced to the lubricating oil tank through the pipe body; and a first overflow weir positioned at least a lower part of the hollow part in a state where a position of the first overflow weir with respect to the pipe body is held, wherein the lubricating oil is allowed to flow over the first overflow weir toward the lubricating oil tank.

A method of processing one or more streams in a benzene production system comprising receiving a reactor effluent stream comprising benzene from an aromatization reactor system; introducing reactor effluent stream into a first separator to produce first gas stream and first liquid stream; splitting the first gas stream into first portion and second portion of first gas stream; introducing first portion of first gas stream into a first compressor to produce first compressed gas stream; introducing first compressed gas stream into a second separator to produce recycle gas stream comprising hydrogen and second liquid stream; recycling recycle gas stream to aromatization reactor system; introducing second portion of first gas stream into a second compressor to produce second compressed gas stream; introducing second compressed gas stream into a third separator to produce gas product stream comprising hydrogen and third liquid stream; and optionally recycling gas product stream to aromatization reactor system.

Disclosed is a system and method to separate solid particle components from a fluid. It can be used in close association with a hydrocarbon producing well and uses a novel combination of mechanical filtration, solids decantation, and real and apparent forces. Disclosed is a spherical vessel with a tangential inlet to introduce the fluid and a fluid exhaust and filter arranged on the center line of the interior of the vessel. A combination of pressurized fluid and solid particles enter at the tangential inlet and move primarily in a circular path around the interior of the vessel. The circular path results in the larger mass particles settling at the vessels lower region. Less massive particles may be entrained in the exiting fluid flow toward a filter element where they are removed from the exiting fluid. The vessel has an opening to remove the trapped separated particles.

A chamber has a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening. The second opening is higher in level than the first and third openings, and is located at the highest position of a reservoir. Air bubbles are easily collected around the second opening, higher in level than the third opening, due to buoyancy. Moreover, the chamber includes an upper slope on an upper inner wall thereof such that a sectional area of the chamber becomes smaller toward the highest position of the reservoir. The upper slope causes the air bubbles not to stagnate but to be guided to the second opening along the upper slope. This makes easy discharge of the air bubbles from the chamber.

This disclosure provides a deaeration apparatus comprising: a closable deaeration cavity configured to accommodate a liquid to be deaerated; a heating member configured to heat the deaeration cavity; a temperature detection member configured to detect a temperature inside the deaeration cavity; and a controller configured to receive the temperature detected by the temperature detection member and control the heating member based on the temperature. When using in deaeration of a liquid, the deaeration apparatus of the disclosure can shorten the deaeration time and improve the deaeration efficiency of the liquid.

The material supply device includes: a material storage tank; a material supply tank provided with a material supply outlet; and a bubble elimination component, configured to be in communication with the material storage tank and the material supply tank and eliminate bubbles in materials supplied by the material storage tank to the material supply tank.

A swirl generating pipe element for providing a rotational movement to a fluid, comprising a reluctance motor and a pipe section (9), wherein the reluctance motor comprises a stator element (1) and a rotor element (2); the stator element comprises multiple stator poles (3); the rotor element comprises a vane assembly having multiple rotor poles (4) and arranged to rotate around a rotor shaft (7) situated along the centerline of the pipe section (9), and each rotor pole has a first end (5) rotatably connected to the rotor shaft (7) and a second end (6) arranged close enough to one of the multiple stator poles (3) for a magnetic polarization to be induced in the rotor pole; and the pipe section (9) comprises a wall, having an external and an internal circumferential surface, and an inlet and an outlet for a fluid; wherein the stator element (1) and the rotor element (2) is separated by the wall (8) of the pipe section (9), and the multiple stator poles (3) are arranged at the external circumferential surface of the pipe section, and the second end (6) of the multiple rotor poles (4) are arranged adjacent to the internal circumferential surface of the pipe section, such that the vane assembly may provide a rotational movement to a fluid entering the inlet (10) of the pipe section (9).

An improved apparatus for filtration has a fluid mixture feed comprising light and heavy fractions fed into the workspace between counter-rotating disk impellers within a tank, thereby forming vortices in the workspace. A static radial exhaust array is located axially in the workspace, comprising exhaust channels, each of which has a peripheral end facing the workspace and an inner end communicating with an axial exhaust drain. An axial pump produces low pressure in the axial exhaust drain, thereby drawing in and anchoring the vortices to the peripheral ends of the exhaust channels so that the exhaust channels can extract the contents of the vortex cores. Vanes can be incorporated into the workspace surface of each disk impeller so that the opposed vanes pass in close proximity, forming vortices along a plurality of radial lanes of intersection, with the peripheral openings of each of the exhaust channels aligned with at least one of the lanes of intersection in the workspace. The feed can be a peripheral feed which enters the workspace radially inward through the periphery of the workspace, or the feed can enter the workspace radially outward through a static axial feed array.
