  • Patent number: 8262760
    Abstract: A device and process for separating liquid and gas phases in a flowstream containing a liquefied gas or supercritical fluid under pressure mixed with a liquid. A splitter vessel separates the liquid from gas phases and transfers liquid to a collection container while conducting the gas phase out of the splitter. Separation of liquid phase out of the flowstream is provided without additional pressure schemes or solvent extractions imposed on the stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070204908
    Abstract: In delivery of bulk liquefied gas under pressure from portable containers, the claimed invention provides a system and process for directing the evaporated vapor from one or more satellite pressure vessels through a master vessel. The gas transfer operates passively to provide for longer unattended run times for a downstream application. The master vessel serves as a trap for the incoming gas vapor, and thereby improves the overall vapor quality by re-equilibrating the vapor with the colder bulk liquid in the master vessel before delivery to the destination application.
