A combustion apparatus of this invention comprises: a heat-resistant container having an opening in its upper part; and a pot with a fire-extinguishing lid, provided with a fire-extinguishing lid which can open and close the opening in the upper part of the heat-resistance container, closes the opening with the fire-extinguishing lid by hand, vibration, or impact, and receives a fuel dropped from the heat-resistant container.

A method for providing a fuel includes providing biogas from a plurality of biogas sources, the biogas from each biogas source produced in a process comprising filling a vessel with raw biogas or partially purified biogas to a pressure of at least 1500 psig and transporting the filled vessel to a centralized processing facility by vehicle. A fuel is produced in a fuel production process that includes feeding the biogas transported to the centralized processing facility to a biogas upgrading system that is configured to provide a carbon dioxide removed from the biogas. The removed carbon dioxide is provided for transport by vehicle and/or pipeline and/or sequestered to offset greenhouse gas emissions attributed to compressing the biogas for transport.

Embodiments of the invention include a filtration system with a separation system including a primary process vessel with a main body enclosing an internal volume, and a removable end cap coupled to one of the ends of the main body. The primary process vessel includes fluid apertures enabling a fluid stream to enter or exit the inner volume. The separation system includes a filter support positioned in the inner volume, and a filter assembly coupled to the filter support. In some embodiments, the filtration system further includes a support frame, and the separation system is mounted on the support frame. In some embodiments, the separation system is fluidly coupled to another separation system. In some embodiments, the filter assembly includes a coalescing filter. In some further embodiments, the filter assembly includes a filter configured and arranged to filter hydrocarbons.

A system and method for conditioning fuel gas comprises a separator to receive rich gas and to separate NGLs from the rich gas to produce lean fuel gas. A first valve is coupled before the separator to receive the rich gas to expand the rich gas in a throttling or Joule-Thomson effect to reduce the pressure and temperature of the rich gas for the separator. A heat exchanger is coupled before the first valve to transfer heat from the rich gas to the lean fuel gas. The system can further comprise another separator to receive rich gas to separate water from the rich gas to preprocess the rich gas. The system can further comprise a temperature control loop utilizing a slip stream from the separator, a second expansion valve, and another heat exchanger.

A natural gas processing system is mounted on a mobile platform that is transported to a natural gas source, such as a well. The system supplies natural gas through multiple hose reels to operate multi-fuel engines for well field equipment such as pumps, compressors, and trucks. A coalescing filter removes contaminants from the natural gas. A generator powered by the natural gas supplies process electricity. A process control monitors and controls the natural gas processing system, including pressure, temperature, moisture, and flow sensors. A gas chromatograph will determine the chemical composition of the natural gas. A gas evacuation system removes gas from the hose reel assemblies in the event of an emergency. An emergency shutdown system will halt the process in the event of high liquid levels, a gas leak, fire, or gas composition out of specification.
