Patent number: 10429067Abstract: 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, that 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: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Samusideen Adewale Salu, Mohamed A.

Publication number: 20180196448Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2018Publication date: July 12, 2018Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Nisar Ahmad K.

Publication number: 20130038062Abstract: A system is disclosed for Hydraulic Transient Energy Generation, based on the principle of hydraulic transients involving conversion of kinetic energy into potential (pressure) energy, which will serve as a reliable, renewable, inexpensive and green source of energy, and provide good environmental benefits (and CO2 credit) by substantially minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. To utilize the potential (pressure) energy developed in the system, the invention makes the transient pressure surge continuous and steady. Rapid response valves with appropriate and compatible instrumentation systems make it possible to periodically and continuously induce pressure surges to maintain high pressure at the outlet of the system. The steady pressure rise at the outlet of the system can be used to drive a turbine for generating electrical power, or for pumping liquid from lower pressure to a higher pressure, wherein it can be used for driving pumps, compressors and the like which require energy input for their operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventor: Samusideen Adewale Salu
