Title: Improvements in or relating to the Utilisation of Natural Gases or Petroleum Distillation Gases.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: C10J1/00
Filed: 1909-12-24
Granted: 1910-12-28
Abstract: 30,229. Boult, A. J., [Groeling, A. von]. Dec. 24. Oils and spirits for burning.-In a method of utilizing natural gases escaping from a borehole, or petroleum distillation gases, the gases are treated at an adjustably increased pressure and an adjustably reduced temperature, with predetermined quantities of an absorbing substance, for instance a heavy benzine, the unabsorbed gas being finally liquefied by compression and cooling. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the gases pass from a holder A, bubble through liquid in an absorber D, undergo an adjustable increase of pressure in a compressor F, lose the heat of compression in a heat-exchanger G, pass through an absorber H, enter an expansion coil L in the absorber H, pass through an absorber M, serve as cooling- agents in the heat-exchanger G, and are finally liquefied in an apparatus O. The benzine is pumped through the absorbers D, M, H, and the heat-exchangers G in succession. The gases may be compressed and cooled in steps so that there are first formed products of condensation of the heavier constituents, which can be separated and utilized at once, or which can be used as an absorption liquid for the non-condensed lighter gases. Fig. 4 shows an apparatus for this purpose. The absorption or condensation chamber X is surrounded by a cooling-jacket Z. For cooling, either the gas discharged from the absorption chamber and expanding through a valve Y may be used, or products already condensed may be allowed to evaporate in the cooling-jacket by relieving the pressure. Several of these apparatus may be arranged in series.

The piston-rod 9 of the steam cylinder carries the lower set of sheaves 7 of a tackle, the upper set 6 being mounted in the top of the framework. The rope passes down under a swivelling sheave 12, and then over a suspended sheave 13 to the load. Steam is admitted to the cylinder 4 at the upper end only by means of a valve 22. A pipe 15 leads from the lower end of the cylinder to a suction valve 21, which admits air freely when the piston rises, but closes on the down-stroke of the piston. A throttle valve 18 is provided which regulates the air exhaust when steam is admitted above the piston, and thus governs the speed of lifting. A spring is provided to cushion the blow should the piston strike the bottom of the cylinder. The lowering of the load is governed by regulating the exhaust of steam through the valve 22.
