Patent number: 10821396Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas-redirecting device presenting an upper plane and a plurality of gas-redirecting tubes comprising an inlet end and an outlet end. For each gas-redirecting tube, the orthogonal projections of the inlet end and the outlet end onto the upper plane have an over-lapping area of at most 50% of the total area of the upper plane covered by the orthogonal projections. Also provided is a liquid-gas contacting column comprising a gas-redirecting device, a floating support comprising a liquid-gas contacting column, at least two packed beds and a method for improving the efficiency of a liquid-gas contacting column which is based on redirecting the gas from a wetted zone of a lower packed bed to a wetted zone of the higher packed bed.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignees: TOTAL SA, IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLES, PROSTERNATInventors: Claire Weiss, Thomas Maubert, Maxime Fournie, Manel Fourati, Philippe Beard, Pascal Alix, Gauthier Perdu, Clément Salais, Vincent Carlier

Patent number: 10213729Abstract: Method of decarbonating a hydrocarbon gas, a natural gas for example, by washing with a solvent. Said gas is contacted with an absorbent solution so as to obtain a CO2-depleted gas and a CO2-laden absorbent solution. The CO2-laden absorbent solution is then heated and expanded at a predetermined pressure and temperature so as to release a hydrocarbon-containing gaseous fraction and to obtain a hydrocarbon-depleted absorbent solution, said pressure and temperature being so selected that said gaseous fraction comprises at least 50% of the hydrocarbons contained in said CO2-laden absorbent solution and at most 35% of the CO2 contained in said CO2-laden absorbent solution. Finally, the hydrocarbon-depleted absorbent solution is thermally regenerated so as to release a CO2-rich gaseous effluent and to obtain a regenerated absorbent solution.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLESInventors: Sebastien Gonnard, Nicolas Laloue, Agnes Leroy, Gauthier Perdu
