Patent number: 10301554Abstract: The methods improve the separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids. More particularly, the disclosure is relevant to separating fluids having a gas phase and a hydrocarbon liquid phase using indirect heating. In general, the methods use a first gas separation step followed by indirect heating and then a second gas separation step. Pressure reduction of the hydrocarbon containing fluid occurs either before or after the indirect heating.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: John Zink Company, LLCInventors: Stephen Joseph Rehm, Timothy Warren Oneal, Gene Wesley Bittel, Mark Elliot Ferguson, Daniel Todd Wright, Nicholas Lee Jensen, Todd Ethan Earls

Patent number: 10150923Abstract: The methods improve the separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids. More particularly, the disclosure is relevant to separating fluids having a gas phase, a hydrocarbon liquid phase, and an aqueous liquid phase using indirect heating. In general, the methods use a first three-phase gas separation stop followed by indirect heating and then a second three-phase gas separation step. Pressure reduction of the hydrocarbon containing fluid occurs either before or after the indirect heating.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: John Zink Company, LLCInventors: Stephen Joseph Rehm, Timothy Warren Oneal, Gene Wesley Bittel, Mark Elliot Ferguson, Daniel Todd Wright, Nicholas Lee Jensen, Todd Ethan Earls
