  • Patent number: 11872518
    Abstract: A portable pressure swing adsorption method and system for fuel gas conditioning. A fuel gas conditioning system includes a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system fluidly coupled to a rich gas stream, the PSA system including a plurality of adsorbent beds and configured to condition the rich natural gas stream and produce therefrom a high-quality fuel gas and gaseous separated heavier hydrocarbons, a product end of the adsorbent beds fluidly coupled to a fuel gas line, wherein the high-quality fuel gas is discharged from the product end and supplied to the fuel gas line, and a feed end of the adsorbent beds configured to be fluidly coupled to the rich natural gas stream or a raw natural gas stream, wherein the produced gaseous separated heavier hydrocarbons are recirculated into the rich natural gas stream or the raw natural gas stream.

  • Publication number: 20230249122
    Abstract: A portable pressure swing adsorption system and method for fuel gas conditioning. A fuel gas conditioning system includes a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system fluidly coupled to a compressed rich gas stream, the PSA system including a plurality of adsorbent beds and configured to condition the compressed rich natural gas stream and produce therefrom a high-quality fuel gas and gaseous separated heavier hydrocarbons, a product end of the adsorbent beds fluidly coupled to a fuel gas line, and a feed end of the adsorbent beds configured to be fluidly coupled to the compressed rich natural gas stream or a raw natural gas stream, wherein the produced gaseous separated heavier hydrocarbons are desorbed at at least 50 psia and recirculated into the rich natural gas stream or the raw natural gas stream without post-desorption compression.
