  • Patent number: 8828122
    Abstract: A system includes an acid gas removal (AGR) system configured to remove an acid gas from an untreated syngas to generate a treated syngas, a hydrogen separation system configured to receive the treated syngas to generate a non-permeate and a permeate, and an expander configured to expand the non-permeate to generate a cooled non-permeate. The AGR system includes a solvent chiller configured to cool a solvent via heat exchange with the cooled non-permeate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Pradeep Stanley Thacker, Sachin Suhas Naphad, Rupinder Singh Benipal
  • Patent number: 8713907
    Abstract: A system includes a sulfur recovery unit including a thermal reactor having an acid gas inlet and an air inlet. The acid gas inlet is configured to receive a flow of acid gas, and the air inlet is configured to receive an air flow of pressurized air extracted from a gas turbine compressor of a gas turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 8597581
    Abstract: A system may include a sulfur recovery unit. The sulfur recovery unit may include an acid gas supply, which may supply acid gas, an oxygen supply, which may supply oxygen, a fuel supply, which may supply fuel. The fuel may have a higher heating value than the acid gas. Also, the sulfur recovery unit may include a thermal reaction zone, which may thermally recover sulfur from the acid gas by combustion of the fuel and the acid gas with the oxygen and through reaction of the acid gas with combustion products arising from the combustion.

  • Publication number: 20110033356
    Abstract: A method for treating a stream comprising an emission gas includes passing portions of the stream comprising the emission gas to two or more reactor units arranged in parallel while subjecting fluid flowing through at least one of the reactor units to pressure control; identifying when at least one of the reactor units trips or is taken out of service; and when at least one of the reactor units trips or is taken out of service, adjusting a flow path of said portion of the stream originally passing to the out-of-service reactor unit such that said portion passes to an absorber for removing the emission gas via a compressor, and subjecting the fluid flowing through all of the in-service reactor units to flow rate control.
