  • Patent number: 9803563
    Abstract: A fuel supply apparatus includes a material fuel tank, a separator, a condenser, a first fuel tank, and a first storage device. The material fuel tank is to store a material fuel. The separator is to separate the material fuel supplied from the material fuel tank into a first fuel and a second fuel. The condenser is to condense the first fuel supplied from the separator through a primary-order recovery passage. The first fuel tank is to store the first fuel supplied from the condenser through a secondary-order recovery passage. The first storage device is provided in the secondary-order recovery passage to temporarily store the first fuel supplied from the condenser.

  • Publication number: 20150053590
    Abstract: A method for improving efficiency of sponge absorption includes providing cold flash drum liquid to an inlet of a cold stripper to produce a cold stripper net overhead vapor stream rich in liquid petroleum gas, and separately providing hot flash drum liquid to an inlet of a hot stripper to produce a hot stripper net overhead vapor stream rich in hydrogen. The cold stripper net overhead vapor stream and the hot stripper net overhead vapor stream are separately routed to a sponge absorber to recover a liquid petroleum gas output stream using sponge oil.
