Patents by Inventor John Fisher George, III

John Fisher George, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11224835
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for treating natural gas comprising causing at least some of a sour natural gas stream comprising hydrocarbon gas and hydrogen sulfide to contact an amine or pass through a separation system. A sweet natural gas stream comprising hydrocarbon gas and a waste gas stream comprising hydrogen sulfide are formed by contacting the sour natural gas with an amine or by passing it though a separation device. At least some of the hydrogen sulfide in the waste gas stream is oxidized, forming an exhaust gas stream comprising sulfur dioxide, which is then contacted with water or reactant and water solution or slurry to destroy or convert SO2 into a less environmentally harmful compound.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 18, 2022

  • Patent number: 10343111
    Abstract: A method for disposing of excess sulfur dioxide in a flue gas from thermal oxidation of an acid gas stream including hydrogen sulfide recovered from a rich amine solution of an amine plant servicing at least one well head, includes cooling the flue gas to about 300 to about 650 degrees Fahrenheit, injecting a dry sorbent into the flue gas after the step of cooling the flue gas, reacting the dry sorbent after the step of injection, with the sulfur dioxide of the flue gas for sufficient time for formation of reaction byproduct and treated gas, and separating the reaction byproduct from the treated gas. Examples of the dry sorbent include calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and trona, as well as magnesium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, and combinations.
