Abstract: A wet gas compression device combining the following stages: a separation stage providing a gas phase and a liquid phase; a conversion stage for converting a gas phrase and a liquid phase; a conversion stage for converting the liquid phase provided by the separation stage to a vapor phase by heat exchange; a compression stage for compressing the gases from the separation stage and the conversion stage and for providing a portion of gas for use in the heat exchange of the compression stage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device which determines aerodynamic characteristics of a wall. The device comprises a drum secured to a shaft, an enclosure defining with the drum at least one test zone (10a; 40a), a test fluid delivery line communicating with this test zone and means which determines a parameter representative of the friction factor of the fluid in the at least one test zone. The at least one test zone has a determined width 1 or gap width, for a given rotating speed of the drum and a test fluid having known characteristics (visosity, density . . . ), so that the fluid has a turbulent flow in the vicinity of the wall(s) to be tested, the turbulent flow corresponding to a given Reynolds value Re.

Abstract: Device intended for two-phase compression of several fluids such as a gas soluble in an essentially liquid solvent.

Abstract: The invention is a two-phase compression device and a process which provides energy to fluids including an essentially liquid fluid and an essentially gaseous fluid or a fluid having a liquid phase and a gas phase, at least one of the fluids or phases being miscible in at least one other of the fluids or phases which allows mixing of the fluids or phases. A device in accordance with the invention includes at least one two-phase compression element having at least one inlet stage and at least one outlet stage, each one of the stages having an impeller and a diffuser, which mixes the essentially liquid fluid and the essentially gaseous fluid or the phases and which provides energy to each of the essentially liquid and gaseous fluids or phases with the mixture provided from the at least one two-phase compression element being a pressurized liquid or essentially a pressurized liquid.

Abstract: The invention is a device for processing a fluid F comprising at least one fraction A to be separated, the fraction to be separated being soluble in a solvent phase. The device includes at least one delivery for the fluid F to be processed; at least one delivery for the solvent phase; at least one two-phase compression device providing homogenization of the fluid F and the solvent phase which dissolves most of the fraction A in the solvent phase and produces a mixture of a solution F1 comprising of solvent phase S and the fraction A dissolved in the solvent phase, and of a fluid F1 which has been depleted of most of the fraction A; and a separation device coupled to an output of the at least one two-phase compression device which discharges respectively solution F1 comprising the solvent phase and the fraction A dissolved in the solvent phase and fluid F2.

Abstract: A compression-pumping system for a multiphase fluid (GLR) includes a compression section, a pumping section, a shaft and a separator. The compression section is sealed off from the pumping section, and the pumping section and the compression section are included in the same enclosure and mounted on the same shaft. The compression-pumping system is associated with a liquid level control system situated at the level of the separator.
