Title: Process and apparatus for carbon dioxide recovery
Inventor: KUMAR RAVI
IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 2007-09-25
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) processes and apparatus to recover carbon dioxide having a purity of approximately >90 mole% from streams containing at least carbon dioxide and hydrogen (e.g., syngas). The feed to the CO2 VPSA unit (21) can be at super ambient pressure. The CO2 VPSA unit (21) produces three streams, a H2-enriched stream,(6) a H2- depleted stream and a CO2 product stream (4). When the CO2 VPSA unit (21) is installed between an SMR/shift reactor (24) and a H2 PSA unit (22), hydrogen recovery is expected to be increased by extracting CO2, thereby increasing hydrogen partial pressure in the H2 PSA feed. The stream from the CO2 VPSA unit, normally used as fuel, is recycled as feed to increase CO2 recovery. The recovered CO2 can be further upgraded, sequestered or used in applications such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Abstract: Guard layers are employed in the adsorbent beds of rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption (RCPSA) devices to protect the adsorbent therein from certain contaminants (e.g. water vapour). Conventional PSA devices typically pack the guard layer with as much guard material as is practical. In RCPSA devices however, the performance of the guard layer can be improved by using a reduced amount of guard material and increasing access to it. Such embodiments are characterized by guard layers with a channel fraction of greater than 50%.

Title: Electrical connector and socket assemblies
Inventor: KENNEDY STEVEN CHARLES
IPC: H01R24/06
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for a cable having a plurality of insulated conductors 20. The connector assembly comprises a body 70 having a respective recess for receiving a terminating pin 27' each of the conductors 20. A respective spigot 24' sealingly engages within each of the recesses and has a passage for receiving an associated one of the terminating pins27'. Furthermore a seal 23' is associated with each of the spigots 24' for sealing the spigot relative to the associated terminating pin 27'. The provision of a separate spigot 24' for each of the conductors and for sealing engagement within a respective recess in the body enables the spigots to be sealingly fitted to the conductors prior to each spigot being introduced into its recess and sealingly engaged therein. This provides improved insulation of the conductor and increased creepage distance between the mating electrical parts and the outer surface of the housing of the assembly. It also provides the additional advantage that the seal on the conductor tends to be smaller than in prior arrangements so that there is less thermal expansion of the seal when the parts get hot in a downhole environment.
