  • Patent number: 12228020
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed concerning gas lift gas recovery. A gas lift gas recovery system can include an inlet separator system, charge system, and sump system for facilitating recovery of gas lift gas. The inlet separator system can be configured to receive production fluid for separation of liquids therefrom to recover gas lift gas. The charge system can include a high pressure (HP) leg for holding an HP portion of fluid and a low pressure (LP) leg for holding an LP portion of fluid. The sump system can be configured for holding liquids from at least one of the inlet separator system and the charge system.

  • Publication number: 20250020144
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparati for separating liquids from production gases and recovering the liquids. The methods and apparati of the present disclosure can reduce or eliminate emissions compared to standard methods and devices and also eliminate the need for haul away of liquids by collecting compressor system liquids in charge vessel(s). The methods and apparati of the present disclosure can also be used to fuel the engines which operate the compressor systems.

  • Publication number: 20240335700
    Abstract: An exercise machine that creates a simulated continuous resisted climbing motion is disclosed. The machine includes a floor- or ground-contacting base frame and two or more substantially vertically oriented uprights, wherein at least one upright is rigidly connected to the base frame. The machine further includes two handles and two foot pedals, each handle and each foot pedal being movably engaged with an upright for linear reciprocating motion along the upright. The handles and foot pedals are interconnected so that they move concurrently. An adjustable resistance mechanism may be operatively connected to the interconnection of the handles and foot pedals to provide adjustable resistance for the simulated continuous climbing motion.
