  • Lean oil absorption and stabilization
    Patent number: 9683177
    Abstract: The invention provides a process and a system for processing hydrocarbon streams efficiently, especially natural gas streams that contain natural gas liquids including propanes, butanes, pentanes and higher hydrocarbons. A lean oil absorber is used to separate natural gas liquids, a side stripper with a side stripper reboiler is used to separate a propane/butane stream and a stabilizer reboiler is used to stabilize a natural gasoline product stream.

  • REFRIGERATION AND COMPRESSOR MODULES
    Publication number: 20150052939
    Abstract: A modular compressor and condensation system is provided with standard sized piping modules, pumping modules and air cooler modules. The modules are designed for standardized shipment and assembly on site with significantly decreased time in start up compared to customized systems. The system may be assembled in the factory for complete testing with only a minimum level of testing necessary at the installation site.
