Patent number: 12498741Abstract: A liquid level controller system and process wherein the liquid level controller is attached to a separator vessel so as to monitor fluid level within the separator vessel. The liquid level controller is configured such that hydrocarbon deposits, which hydrocarbon deposits build up in the d displacer arm chamber of the level controller, and be cleaned out without disconnecting the liquid level controller from the separator vessel and without disconnecting the displacer arm assembly from the pilot assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: KIMRAY, INC.Inventors: Dustin Kyle Hayt, Stephen Andrew Folmar

Publication number: 20130186268Abstract: This disclosure describes an automatic adjusting natural gas dehydration system. The dehydration system includes a still column, a reboiler, a pump and an absorber column suitable for circulating a desiccant, The absorber column includes inlet and outlet ports for receiving a stream of natural gas. The method automatically adjusts the flow rate the desiccant and the temperature of the desiccant within the reboiler in response to the moisture content of the natural gas exiting the absorber column after contacting the desiccant.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: July 25, 2013Applicant: KIMRAY, INC.Inventor: David K.

Patent number: 8091580Abstract: A pilot valve is switchable between snap and throttle modes. The pilot valve supplies output gas to a process control valve and has an adjustable biasing member for applying an adjustable force to a pilot plug in a pilot body interior. An opposed force is applied to the pilot plug to overcome the adjustable force and the output gas.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Kimray, Inc.Inventor: Kevin Grant Gentry

Patent number: 7392822Abstract: A liquid level controller including a pilot valve switchable between snap and throttle modes. A displacer translates changing liquid level in a tank into movement that is transferred to the pilot valve which will provide output gas to a control valve to allow or to prevent the discharge of fluid from the tank. The pilot valve has a throttle supply inlet and a snap supply inlet and a single output passage. When the pilot valve is in the throttle mode, the snap supply inlet is a vent passage and when the pilot valve is in the snap mode, the throttle supply gas inlet is a vent passage.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2006Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Kimray, Inc.Inventor: Garman Oscar Kimmell
