Abstract: The present invention provides a membrane/amine column system and process for removing acid gases from natural gas on a floating liquefied natural gas vessel. Several process configurations are provided to deal with a reduction in the effectiveness of the amine column by increasing the amount of acid gases being removed by the membrane system prior to the natural gas being sent to the amine column.

Abstract: The present invention is a kind of flexible plum flower mini ring which is used in chemical separation equipment. The packing consists of a mini ring with plum flower shape and rectangular windows and connected inner arc strips on its petals. There is a smaller flap cut from the middle of the inner arc strip which is bent into the center of the mini ring. The present invention can be used in normal or high pressure distillation, absorption and stripping with heavy liquid load and solvent extraction (lube-oil refining, aromatic separation and so on).
