Patent number: 12638236Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG). In one implementation, a dry feed gas is received. The dry feed gas is chilled with clean vapor from a heavies removal column to form a chilled feed gas. The chilled feed gas is partially condensed into a vapor phase and a liquid phase. The liquid phase retains freezing components. The freezing components are extracted using a reflux stream in the heavies removal column. The freezing components are removed as a condensate. The vapor phase is compressed into a clean feed gas. The clean feed gas is free of the freezing components for downstream liquefaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2023Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: ConocoPhillips CompanyInventors: Jinghua Chan, Qi Ma, Dale L. Embry, Attilio J. Praderio

Patent number: 12448331Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor and its preparation method and use. The organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor is composed of an organic silicon and its derivatives, a catalyst, a dispersant, a stabilizer, a surfactant, and water. The organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor in-situ generates nanoparticles during a hydration process. The nanoparticles not only have a hydrophobic function, but also can effectively fill the pores of the concrete, which effectively solves a problem in which a hydrophobic material in a state of full water cannot reduce the diffusion of an erosive medium. The problems such as uneven dispersion and poor stability of nanoparticles added can be effectively solved by in-situ generating the nanoparticles, thereby effectively improving the ion corrosion resistance performance of the concrete.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignees: Sobute New Materials Co., Ltd., Bote New Materials Taizhou Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jiaping Liu, Jingshun Cai, Song Mu, Jianzhong Liu, Xiaocheng Zhou, Qi Ma, Pengcheng Wu, Jinxiang Hong
