Filed: 2008-03-04
Abstract: A small side stream of sour natural gas is sweetened using neat triazine at a well or battery site to produce sweet natural gas which is used at the sit to operate ancillary equipment such as valves and heaters. The circuit used comprises a small contactor vessel containing triazine. A mixture of sour gas and neat triazine is continuously fed into the contactor via a header that distributes the mixture across the contactor chamber. The mixture is then dispersed over a reagent contact surface of high surface area. The contactor is externally heated when the weather is cold. The contactor produces a mixture of sweet gas and spent triazine. The components of the mixture are gravity separated in a separator. The sweet gas and spent triazine are separately recovered from the separator.

Title: Building climate control system and method
Inventor: KINNIS RALPH
IPC: F24F3/052
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: The climate in a primary space within a building having a secondary space open to and above the primary space is controlled by creating a primary microclimate within the primary space that is resistant to convection phenomena in the primary and secondary spaces. When the temperature in the secondary space is higher than the temperature in the primary space, air is drawn from the secondary space and discharged into the primary space at an initial air exchange rate which causes the temperature in the primary space to rise and the temperature in the secondary space to fall. When the temperature in the primary space is greater than or equal to the temperature in the secondary space, the air exchange rate is set at a primary microclimate maintenance rate such that the temperature in the primary space remains equal to or greater than the temperature in the secondary space, thereby establishing the primary microclimate in the primary space.
