  • Publication number: 20240410646
    Abstract: A system for removing natural gas liquids from raw natural gas having a scrubber that is configured to remove liquid droplets and contaminants from untreated gas; a compressor that is configured to receive the untreated gas after it has passed through the scrubber and to pressurize the untreated gas to create pressurized gas; a first aerial cooler that is configured to receive the pressurized gas from the compressor and to discharge heat to atmosphere; an air chilling unit that is configured to create chilled air; a chilled air exchanger that is configured to receive the chilled air and to cool the pressurized gas from the first aerial cooler to a setpoint to create cooled pressurized gas; and a separator that is configured to remove liquids from the cooled pressurized gas, thereby creating processed gas.

  • Publication number: 20240384929
    Abstract: A system and method for treating associated gas in which a stream of raw gas is passed through safety valving, an inlet pressure control mechanism, and an inlet scrubber. Pressure/temperature data is transmitted to a control system via pressure and temperature transducers. The raw gas is sent to a gas compressor to generate pressurized gas, which is sent to an aerial cooler and a chiller heat exchanger, in which a chilling media contacts the pressurized gas. The chilled pressurized gas is sent to a vapor liquid separator to generate processed gas, which is routed through either a system backpressure valve or a pressure reducing recycle valve that directs the processed gas to the inlet scrubber. The processed gas that has passed through the system backpressure valve is delivered as fuel or routed through a backpressure regulating recycle valve that directs the processed gas to a system inlet pressure reducing valve.

  • Patent number: 12092393
    Abstract: A method for removing natural gas liquids from raw natural gas involving the steps of: passing untreated gas through a scrubber to remove liquid droplets and contaminants; delivering the untreated gas to a compressor, which pressurizes the untreated gas to create pressurized gas; passing the pressurized gas through a first aerial cooler to discharge heat to atmosphere; providing a chilled air exchanger and an air chilling unit; chilling air by passing the air through the air chilling unit to create chilled air; delivering the chilled air to the chilled air exchanger; passing the pressurized gas through the chilled air exchanger to cool the pressurized gas to a setpoint to create cooled pressurized gas; and delivering the cooled pressurized gas to a separator to remove liquids from the cooled pressurized gas, thereby creating processed gas. A system having the components listed above.

  • Patent number: 8672606
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor having first annular connection structure at a forward end portion of an air inlet housing of the compressor. The gas turbine engine may also include intake ducting having second annular connection structure adjacent a central passage of the intake ducting. The first annular connection structure and the second annular connection structure may form at least part of an interface between the air inlet housing and the intake ducting during operation of the gas turbine engine. The first and second annular connection structures may have shapes allowing the first annular connection structure to be moved through and beyond the second annular connection structure in a forward direction, the forward direction being opposite a direction of compressed air flow in the compressor during operation.

  • Patent number: 8621873
    Abstract: A system for moving an auxiliary component of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The system may have a mobile support platform configured to support the auxiliary component during operation of the gas turbine engine. The system may further have at least one guide assembly operably connected to the mobile support platform and configured to guide movement of the mobile support platform. The system may also have a drive assembly operably connected to the mobile support platform and configured to impart movement of the mobile support platform between an elevated position and a lowered position.

  • Patent number: 7976266
    Abstract: A power system includes a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine may include a first portion, a second portion, and a longitudinal axis. The power system may also include a first moveable support engaged to the first portion of the gas turbine engine. The first moveable support may be operable to at least partially constrain movement of the first portion of the gas turbine engine during operation of the gas turbine engine. Additionally, the first moveable support may be operable to at least partially support the first portion of the gas turbine engine as the first portion of the gas turbine engine is moved away from the longitudinal axis independently of the second portion of the gas turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 7963542
    Abstract: A modular cart for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The modular cart may have a first cart with a first connection portion and a first mounting location. The modular cart may further have a second cart with a second connection portion and a second mounting location. The first connection portion of the first cart may be configured to attach to the second connection portion of the second cart. The modular cart may also have a cart component configured to interchangeably mount to either the first mounting location of the first cart or to the second mounting location of the second cart.
