Method and System for Removing Hydrogen Sulfide from Sour Oil and Sour Water
Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to a system and method to remove hydrogen sulfide from sour water and sour oil. Particularly, hydrogen sulfide is removed from sour water and sour oil without the need for special chemicals, such as catalyst chemicals, scavenger chemicals, hydrocarbon sources, or a large-scale facility. The system and method in the present invention is particularly useful in exploratory oil and gas fields, where large facilities to remove hydrogen sulfide may be inaccessible. The present invention addresses the need for safe and cost-effective transport of the deadly neurotoxin. Particular embodiments involve a system and method that can be executed both on a small and large scale to sweeten sour water and sour oil.
MULTI-STAGE OXYGEN ABSORBER INSERT FOR CONCURRENT STRIPPING OF CARBON DIOXIDE
A low head oxygenator system includes one or more chambers, each of the one or more chambers having an open top and one or more distribution plates, each distribution plate disposed over the open top of a corresponding one of the one or more chambers. Each of the one or more distribution plates has a predetermined number of orifices uniformly distributed within one or more zones of the respective distribution plate and no orifices in at least one remaining zone of the respective distribution plate. The oxygenator system further includes a container, disposed on top of the one or more distribution plates, and configured to allow a liquid contained in the container to flow through the orifices of the one or more distribution plates into the one or more chambers. Further, use of the distribution plate frees up the head-space region for a scrubbing insert configured to perform stripping.
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.
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.
Method and Device for Extracting Clean Liquid from Slurry Reactor
The disclosure provides a device and method for extracting a clean liquid from a slurry reactor in an environment-friendly and energy-saving manner. The method mainly includes the following steps: S1. siphoning slurry in the slurry reactor into a material collecting pipe, and then spraying the slurry into a settling tank, so that solid particles settle in the settling tank and return to the slurry reactor through a discharging pipe; S2. making supernatant in the settling tank flow upward along a settling pipe, and then flow downward at a pipe intersection into a clear liquid pipe and flow into a clear liquid transition tank; S3. discharging liquid from the clear liquid transition tank in an overflow manner to keep the constant liquid level and a pressure required for siphoning; and S4. introducing gas in the material collecting pipe into an escape pipe and continuously discharging the gas to ensure that the liquid level in the escape pipe is always higher than the pipe intersection so as to ensure that the slurry reactor and the clear liquid transition tank are always communicated and the liquid levels are the same. The device according to the disclosure is simple in structure, and the process is simple, safe and reliable, and is not prone to failure. It is easy to implement large-scale continuous operation and adjust separation efficiency and precision. The device requires low equipment investment and is low in operation cost and environmentally friendly.
Systems and methods for generating a dissolved ammonia solution with reduced dissolved carrier gas and oxygen content
Systems and methods are described for supplying a rinsing liquid including ultrapure water and an ammonia gas. The system includes an ultrapure water source and a gas mixture source in fluid communication with a contactor. The gas mixture includes ammonia gas and a carrier gas. The system includes a control unit configured to adjust a flow rate of the ultrapure water source such that an operational pressure of the contactor remains below a pressure threshold.
