Title: Methods of and means for dehydrating and processing fluid streams
Inventor: DOW WILLARD MATT
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1957-01-21
Abstract: 819,288. Separating liquids from gases. UNITED GAS CORPORATION. Jan. 21, 1957, No. 2202/57. Class 1 (1). In a process for removing liquids from gases, for example liquid hydrocarbons and water from main (natural) gas, by an absorbing bed, the bed is regenerated and absorbed liquids removed by a stream of hot gas which then flows through a heat storage, down stream from the absorber bed, the main gas being then fed into the heat storage before passing into the regenerated absorber. Preferably two absorbers are used alternately with the heat storage mounted between them. The absorber A, Fig. 1, consists of a cylindrical vessel 10 containing a shell 15 insulated by material 17, and having a grid 16 supporting the absorbent C. The absorber is connected by a pipe 13 with a heat storage chamber B consisting of thick metal plates 21, 22 so arranged that the gases follow a sinuous path. Natural gas passes through a pipe 23 and takes up heat from storage B and flows upwards through the absorbing tower to an exit 14. To regenerate the absorbent, pre-heated natural gas is admitted through pipe 14 driving out the liquids absorbed, which may condense and be drawnoff at a pipe 18 ; the hot gases then give up their heat to the storage B. Condensation may also be drawn off at pipe 25. In alternative constructions (not shown) (a) the heat storage unit is mounted in the lower part of the cylindrical vessel 10, (b) the absorbent is disposed in an inner cylindrical shell leaving an annular space between the absorbent column and the outer shell 10, the latter having external fins to dissipate surplus heat, (c) two units of the type shown in Fig. 1 are connected together through a liquid separating chamber mounted at the junction and connected to the inlet pipes 23. In this arrangement one absorber is being regenerated while the other acts as absorber.
