  • Patent number: 11925880
    Abstract: A method for separating liquids is disclosed. A feed stream is passed into a separator. The feed stream comprising an organic compound, carbon dioxide, and oxides selected from the group consisting of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ozone and combinations thereof. A portion an organic-rich stream is separated from a portion of an inorganic-rich stream through separation by gravity. The organic-rich stream contains a portion of the organic compound and a first portion of the carbon dioxide. The inorganic-rich stream contains a portion of the oxides and a second portion of the carbon dioxide.

  • Patent number: 11035611
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for separating components of a gas. A feed gas stream is cooled in a first vessel. The feed gas stream includes methane, water, carbon dioxide, and Natural Gas Liquids. The feed gas stream is cooled in a first vessel. A portion of the water condenses to form a primary liquid stream, resulting in a first depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a second vessel. A portion of the NGLs condense to form a secondary liquid stream, resulting in a second depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a condensing exchanger. A first portion of the methane condenses to form a liquid methane stream, resulting in a third depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a third vessel. A portion of the carbon dioxide condenses, desublimates, or condenses and desublimates as a final product stream, also resulting in a fourth depleted gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10995984
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for separating components of a gas. A feed gas stream is cooled in the first vessel. The feed gas stream comprises methane, carbon dioxide, and a secondary component. A first portion of the secondary component condenses, desublimates, or a combination thereof to form a primary stream, resulting in a first depleted gas stream. The first depleted gas stream is cooled in a condensing exchanger such that a first portion of the methane condenses as a first liquid methane stream, resulting in a second depleted gas stream. The second depleted gas stream is cooled in the second vessel such that a first portion of the carbon dioxide desublimates to form a solid product stream, resulting in a third depleted gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10969169
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for separating components of a gas. A feed gas stream is passed into a vessel. The feed gas stream includes methane, carbon dioxide, and water. The feed gas stream is cooled in the vessel such that a portion of the methane and a portion of the carbon dioxide condense and a portion of the water desublimates, resulting in a product stream and a depleted gas stream exiting the vessel.
