IPC: C10G29/24
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: A process for scavenging hydrogen sulphide from a mixed phase system, in particular a hydrocarbon fluid having a liquid phase and a gaseous phase, is described. The hydrocarbon fluid contains a high level of hydrogen sulphide, which can be above 5000ppm by weight in the gaseous phase of the fluid prior to treatment. Formaldehyde, preferably water, with is added to the fluid. The process is particularly useful for in-line scavenging of hydrogen sulphide from sour crude oil containing very high hydrogen sulphide levels. The hydrogen sulphide content of the crude oil that is delivered to the platform is reduced to safe and commercially acceptable levels and solid by-product formation is insignificant. This process thus advantageously provides a low cost manner of developing sour oil fields that would otherwise not be safe or economically viable to develop or advantageously provides a way of modifying existing processes of handling sour hydrocarbon fluids, for example, within oil fields already in production, such that the method according to the present invention replaces existing methods adopted.

Title: Battery pack
Inventor: SASAKI HIROSHI
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 2003-06-16
Abstract: A battery pack is provided for use when charging of a dedicated secondary battery in a portable terminal device is difficult. The battery pack is mounted in a battery mounting section in a portable cellular phone. In the battery pack, alkaline accumulators are connected in series. Alkaline accumulators generate electromotive forces having a voltage (3V) being lower than that of the dedicated secondary battery. A power source circuit has a boosting- type DC/DC converter which boosts a voltage of the alkaline accumulators being connected in series at a level same as that of the dedicated secondary battery (for example, 4.5V), and outputs the boosted voltage. An electrical double layer capacitor has a capacity to feed stable power to an internal circuit in which power consumption increases or decreases in a burst manner and is charged by application of an output of the power source circuit and stores the power.
