DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EVAPORATING AN ORGANIC POWDER
20230220553 · 2023-07-13 ·

In a method for evaporating a non-gaseous starting material, the starting material is introduced into an evaporation chamber; an evaporation element heats the starting material to create a vapor; a conveying gas flow transports the vapor through a conveying channel and past a sensor, which measures the concentration or partial pressure of the vapor in the gas flow flowing through the conveying channel; and the mass flow of the vapor through the conveying channel is controlled by varying the conveying gas flow with respect to a setpoint value. To keep the vapor flow largely constant over time, a compensating gas flow is fed into the conveying channel at a mixing point disposed between the evaporator and the sensor. A second mass flow controller controls the mass flow of the compensating gas flow such that, when the conveying gas flow varies, the gas flow flowing past the sensor remains constant.

Systems and methods for fuel-gas blending

A fuel-gas blending system receives low-pressure tank vapors and high-pressure flash gases from an oil production facility, boosts the pressure of the tank vapors, and blends the tank vapors and high-pressure gases together to supply fuel gas at a pressure and quality required by an onsite fuel-gas-powered generator. The quality of the supplied fuel gas is maintained by controlling the proportion of a high-pressure gas, such as separator gas, in the blend while the volumetric flow rates of the various gases vary in response to the real-time demands of the generator. The system operates in one of multiple modes in order to maximize the use of tank vapors. In one mode, all the gases pass through a low-pressure blower. In another mode, only the tank vapors pass through the blower, and the high-pressure gases are blended with tank vapors downstream of the blower.
