LIQUID RECOVERY SYSTEM
A system for recovering natural gas liquid from a source, comprising: a heat exchanger for cooling wellstream fluid directed therethrough; a first separator for receiving the fluid from the heat exchanger for separating liquid and gas; in a first configuration, the gas from the first separator being directed to a turbo-expander for reducing the temperature and pressure of the gas to form a cold fluid; the cold fluid being directed to a second separator for separating liquid and gas; gas from the second separator being directed to the heat exchanger where it flows therethrough for cooling the wellstream fluid; wherein if the turbo-expander is not operating, the first configuration may be a changed to a second configuration to bypass the turbo-expander and direct the gas from the second separator to a Joule-Thomson valve to form the cold fluid.

Metal organic frameworks for removal of compounds from a fluid
Embodiments provide a method of compound removal from a fluid. The method includes contacting one or more metal organic framework (MOF) compositions with a fluid and sorbing one or more compounds, such as CO.sub.2, H.sub.2S and condensable hydrocarbons. One or more of CO.sub.2, H.sub.2S and condensable hydrocarbons can be sorbed simultaneously or in series. The metal organic framework can be an M-soc-MOF.
Y-grade NGL fluids for enhanced oil recovery
Systems and methods for enhanced or improved oil recovery includes injecting a Y-Grade NGL enhanced oil recovery fluid through an injection well into a hydrocarbon bearing reservoir to mobilize and displace hydrocarbons. The Y-Grade NGL enhanced oil recovery fluid comprises an unfractionated hydrocarbon mixture. Simultaneously and/or subsequently, a mobility control fluid is injected into the hydrocarbon bearing formation. Hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir are produced through a production well or the same injection well.

PYROLYSIS OF PLASTIC WASTE TO PRODUCE LIGHT GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS AND INTEGRATION WITH AN ETHYLENE CRACKER
Processes for using pyrolysis gas as a feedstock or a co-feedstock for making a variety of chemicals, for example, circular ethylene, circular ethylene polymers and copolymers, and other circular products. In these processes, pyrolysis reactor conditions can be selected to increase or optimized the production of pyrolysis gas over pyrolysis oil, and the pyrolysis gas which is usually used as fuel or flared can be fed downstream of the steam cracker furnace for economic use to form circular chemicals. Operating parameters of the pyrolysis unit may be adjusted to increase or decrease the proportion of pyrolysis gas relative to pyrolysis liquid as a function of their relative economic values.
