  • Patent number: 8959885
    Abstract: A heat recovery system for use with a gasification system is provided. One system includes a gasification system and an organic Rankine cycle system coupled to the gasification system. The organic Rankine cycle system is configured to receive heated fluid from the gasification system and to deliver cooled fluid to the gasification system. The organic Rankine cycle system is configured to produce power by converting heat energy in the heated fluid.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8597581
    Abstract: A system may include a sulfur recovery unit. The sulfur recovery unit may include an acid gas supply, which may supply acid gas, an oxygen supply, which may supply oxygen, a fuel supply, which may supply fuel. The fuel may have a higher heating value than the acid gas. Also, the sulfur recovery unit may include a thermal reaction zone, which may thermally recover sulfur from the acid gas by combustion of the fuel and the acid gas with the oxygen and through reaction of the acid gas with combustion products arising from the combustion.

  • Patent number: 8535418
    Abstract: A method of removing gaseous byproducts from a gas stream includes generating via at least one partial-combustion device a gas stream that includes gaseous byproducts. The method also includes channeling the gas stream from the at least one partial-combustion device to a fluid compression device that is configured to increase a pressure of the gas stream. The method further includes channeling the gas stream to a gaseous byproducts removal system to absorb at least a portion of the gaseous byproducts from the gas stream using a solvent. The method also includes discharging at least a portion of the gaseous byproducts from the gaseous byproducts removal system.

  • Patent number: 8491712
    Abstract: A dehydration system is provided. The dehydration system includes an absorber configured to produce a dry gas and a rich solvent from a wet gas and from a pure solvent and a flash drum coupled in flow communication with the absorber for receiving the rich solvent discharged from the absorber. The flash drum is configured to produce flash gas from the rich solvent. The dehydration further includes a reboiler configured to produce a semi-lean solvent from the rich solvent and an inert gas system configured to strip the semi-lean solvent using at least the flash gas to produce the pure solvent.
