Flow Enhanced One-Pass Centrifuge Separator

US Patent:
6102843, Aug 15, 2000
Filed:
Mar 19, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/619862
Inventors:
Lonny R. Kelley - Houston TX
Mark E. Ehrhardt - Houston TX
Mukhtiar S. Purewal - Houston TX
Jeffrey W. Frederick - Morris Plains NJ
Houston G. Wood - Charlottesville VA
James P. Johnston - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
B04B 104, B04B 1100, B04B 1506
US Classification:
494 29
Abstract:
A one-pass centrifuge separator for mixtures of two liquids which may also contain gas. The centrifuge uses separation zones on a rotor's inner wall to improve separation efficiency and minimize turbulent mixing. The zones consist of surface and interface vanes, and baffle plates to control flow at the fluid interface. The zones also retain an open concept to facilitate washing by cleaning fluids which are provided by nozzles installed on a stationary feedpipe mounted along the rotational axis of the centrifuge. A fluid accelerator gradually accelerates the fluid from the feedpipe to the inner wall of the rotor.

Multi-Component Refrigeration Process For Liquefaction Of Natural Gas

US Patent:
5950453, Sep 14, 1999
Filed:
Jun 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/099262
Inventors:
Ronald R. Bowen - Magnolia TX
Eric T. Cole - Kingwood TX
Edward L. Kimble - Sugar Land TX
Eugene R. Thomas - Houston TX
Lonny R. Kelley - Houston TX
Assignee:
Exxon Production Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
F25J 300
US Classification:
62612
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for liquefying a pressurized gas stream rich in methane in which the liquefication of the gas stream occurs in a heat exchanger being cooled by a closed-loop multi-component refrigeration system to produce a methane-rich liquid product having a temperature above about -112. degree. C. (-170. degree. F. ) and a pressure sufficient for the liquid product to be at or below its bubble point. The liquefied gas product is then introduced to a storage means at a temperature above about -112. degree. C. (-170. degree. F. ).

Centrifuge Processor And Liquid Level Control System

US Patent:
4846780, Jul 11, 1989
Filed:
Aug 10, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/230646
Inventors:
Jimmie G. Galloway - Missouri City MO
Lonny R. Kelley - Houston TX
Mark E. Ehrhardt - Houston TX
Tracy A. Fowler - Kennewick WA
Assignee:
Exxon Production Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
B04B 1102
US Classification:
494 3
Abstract:
A centrifugal method and apparatus capable of separating a fluid stream composed of a plurality of components with differing specific gravities. The stream contemplated for separation is that of a producing oil well with components of oil, water, natural gas, and particulates. The method and apparatus use centrifugal forces to separate the gaseous, solid, and liquid components from each other. After separation is completed, detector and sensor arrangements are used to maintain liquid levels in the separator and to control the removal of the individual separated fluids from the apparatus.
