Publication number: 20210405669Abstract: Embodiments provide a surge suppression device, a surge suppression system, and methods for operating the same. The surge suppression device includes a valve body and a plug. The plug is rotatably positioned in a hollow space of the valve body. The plug includes two surge suppression openings defining a fluid flow directed to surge suppression. Each of the two surge suppression openings includes a circular plate having a plurality of orifices. The plurality of orifices allows reduction of surge pressure when the water passes the first fluid flow path. The circular plate has a concave or convex geometry.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Mohamed Ahmed SOLIMAN, Samusideen Adewale SALU, Ali Homoud Hassan ALSHEHRI

Patent number: 11092334Abstract: A system and method for recycling flare gas back to a processing facility that selectively employs different numbers of ejector legs depending on the flare gas flowrate. The ejector legs include ejectors piped in parallel, each ejector has a flare gas inlet and a motive fluid inlet. Valves are disposed in piping upstream of the flare gas and motive fluid inlets on the ejectors, and that are selectively opened or closed to allow flow through the ejectors. The flowrate of the flare gas is monitored and distributed to a controller, which is programmed to calculate the required number of ejector legs to accommodate the amount of flare gas. The controller is also programmed to direct signals to actuators attached to the valves, which open or close the valves to change the capacity of the ejector legs so they can handle changing flowrates of the flare gas.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Samusideen Adewale Salu, Mohamed A. Soliman, Nisar Ahmad K. Ansari

Patent number: 10671099Abstract: A system and method for dispensing an injection material to an injection point. The injection material is stored in a tank and disposed to parallel piped vessels. An orifice is disposed in piping connected to discharge ends of the vessels, and has an opening with a designated cross sectional area. A high pressure fluid drives the injection material to the injection point; the pressure of the high pressure fluid is regulated with a pressure control valve. Valves in the inlet and discharge piping connected to the vessels are selectively opened and closed so that injection material flows to and from the vessels. Vessels vent to a recycle/recovery system to reduce vessel pressure enabling refilling with injection material. Valves in the pressurizing and depressurizing lines are selectively opened and closed to depressurize and refill the vessels to have continuous chemical injection to the injection location.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Nisar Ahmad K. Ansari, Samusideen Adewale Salu, Talal Al-Zahrani, Mohamed Soliman
