Abstract: A coulter assembly is provided that includes a torsion spring configured to maintain a substantially constant contact force between a scraper and a coulter disk sufficient to remove accumulated soil despite wearing of the scraper and/or coulter disk. In an exemplary embodiment, the coulter assembly includes a scraper having a blade and an arm. The blade is disposed adjacent to a soil engaging portion of the coulter disk, and the arm is rotatably coupled to the coulter assembly and extends along a substantially straight path to the blade. A torsion spring is disposed about a rotational axis of the arm and configured to rotationally bias the blade toward the coulter disk by applying a torque between the coulter assembly and the arm.  This configuration obviates manual adjustment of the scraper relative to the coulter disk, thereby reducing maintenance costs and operational delays.

Abstract: In a so-called GTL process for producing liquid hydrocarbons containing fuel oil by producing synthesis gas from natural gas, subsequently producing Fischer-Tropsch oil from the obtained synthesis gas by way of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and upgrading the produced Fischer-Tropsch oil, the synthesis gas produced from a synthesis gas production step is partly branched at a stage prior to getting to a Fischer-Tropsch oil production step and high-purity hydrogen is separated and produced from the synthesis gas entering the branch line. All the separated high-purity hydrogen is supplied to an upgrading reaction step and consumed as hydrogen for an upgrading reaction. Additionally, the synthesis gas entering the branch line is subjected to a water gas shift reaction to raise the hydrogen concentration before the step of separating and producing high-purity hydrogen and the residual gas left after the separation may be circulated to the synthesis gas production step as raw material for producing synthesis gas.
