Автор: Carol Diane Krumbholz
Принадлежит: Individual

An off gas extraction system cleans common sources of off gas, such as storage tanks and polluted soils. Off gas is extracted, followed by compression and condensation. Compression and condensation produce an off gas that can be reintroduced as a treated gas into the off gas source. Alternatively, a regenerative absorber cleans the treated gas by adsorbing residual chemical vapor and concentrates the removed chemical vapors and reprocesses them. If the treated gas is not reintroduced into the off gas source, conventional scrubbers may used on the back end of the system to produce a final exhaust as prescribed by environmental regulation. Methods of accomplishing the same are similarly provided, including novel methods for degassing storage tanks and treating polluted soils to meet current environmental regulations, as well as green technology and sustainability initiatives.

A process for separating a mixture of gases into a relatively condensable first component and a relatively non-condensable second component is provided. The first component comprises one or more gases selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, carbonyl sulphide and hydrogen sulphide and the second component one or more gases selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methane, ethane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, oxygen and synthesis gas. The process itself comprises the following steps: (a) compressing and cooling a mixture of said first and second components in at least one compressor and at least one heat exchanger to a temperature and elevated pressure at which the first components condense and a two-phase gas-liquid mixture is formed; (b) separating the two phase mixture so formed into separate liquid first and gaseous second component fractions in a fractionation unit; (c) extracting residual first component from the separated gaseous second component fraction by scrubbing the second component at elevated pressure with a solvent (e.g. methanol) in a scrubber. In examples, the method further includes one or more steps of warming and expanding the gaseous second component fraction using at least one heat exchanger to exchange heat with a process stream and at least one turbo-expander capable of recovering mechanical work. The process described is highly energy efficient and is especially useful in hydrogen power plants, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) and for sweetening sour natural gas.

Автор: Hal Alper
Принадлежит: Mycelx Technologies Corp

A method for facilitating removal of mercury from a primary fluid stream of interest which is contaminated with organically-bound, elemental, and ionic mercury species. The stream is analyzed to establish the relative content of the organically-bound, elemental, and ionic mercury species present therein by forming a diverted side stream from the primary stream, and passing the side stream successively through three in series filter stages, the first captures organically bound mercury, the second captures elemental mercury, and the third captures ionic mercury. The side stream flow through the filter stages is continued for a predetermined period, and upon conclusion of the period the quantity of mercury collected at each of the filtration stages is determined. This data is then utilized to determine the capacity of the three different filtration stages required to reduce the mercury content in the mam stream to a desired level.

Method and device for treating a carbon-dioxide-containing gas flow, wherein the energy of the vent gas (work and cold due to expansion) is used

Номер: US20120240619A1
Принадлежит: Linde KCA Dresden GmbH

The invention relates to a method and a device for treating a carbon-dioxide-containing gas stream, in particular from a large-scale fired plant, e.g. from a power plant. The precompressed gas stream is separated in a carbon dioxide purification stage into a gas substream having an elevated carbon dioxide content (carbon dioxide product stream) and a gas substream having a decreased carbon dioxide content (vent gas stream). The carbon dioxide product stream is fed to further utilization and/or storage. In particular, by injecting the carbon dioxide underground, the emission of gases harmful to the climate can be reduced. For improving the energy efficiency, it is proposed that the vent gas stream is expanded in at least one expansion turbine and both the resultant kinetic energy and the resultant refrigeration are utilized for energy recovery. For utilizing the kinetic energy, the expansion turbine can be coupled to a compressor (booster) which compresses the crude gas stream and/or the carbon dioxide product stream. For utilizing the refrigeration generated in the expansion, the at least partially expanded vent gas stream can be brought into heat exchange with process streams which are to be cooled, e.g. the crude gas stream and/or the carbon dioxide product stream.

An incoming compressed gas, such as natural gas, is pre-cooled and the gas separated from any included liquid. The pre-cooled and separated gas is expanded using an expander to rapidly reduce pressure and corresponding temperature, as well as remove any components solidified by the temperature drop. An output stream from the expander, combined with other streams, is again gas/liquid separated. The output separated gas stream is sent through another expansion and gas/liquid separation, separating one or more other components, such that a final output gas is achieved. In the case of natural gas, the final output is, for example, methane, which may be fed back to cool the incoming gas prior to end use of the methane.
