US Patent:

8353342, Jan 15, 2013

Filed:

Feb 17, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/707409

Inventors:

Edward G. Latimer - Ponca City OK, US
Steven A. Treese - Katy TX, US

Assignee:

ConocoPhillips Company - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 43/24

US Classification:

1662723

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus relate to both generating steam for injection into a wellbore and capturing carbon dioxide (CO) produced when generating the steam. A direct steam generator (DSG) makes the steam by contacting water with a combustion area for hydrogen and oxygen. Quantity of the steam made exceeds quantity of water input into the steam generator since the steam includes vaporized water resulting from combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen mixed with the water inputted and heated. Steam-methane-reforming or autothermal-reforming produces the hydrogen stripped of the COprior to introduction into the steam generator. Further, an air separation unit supplies the oxygen to the steam generator.

Appl. No.:

13/973452

Inventors:

Steven Alan Treese - Katy TX, US

International Classification:

C21D 9/08

US Classification:

148559

Abstract:

A quenching process for quenching a flowing first fluid with a flowing second fluid may involve a first hollow pipe for containing the flowing first fluid and a second hollow pipe for containing the flowing second fluid; dividing the flowing second fluid into a first baffle flow along a first side of a longitudinal baffle and a second baffle flow along a second side of the longitudinal baffle within the second hollow pipe; providing a transverse baffle protruding from the longitudinal baffle for directing the first baffle flow from a first baffle flow outlet and the second baffle flow from a second baffle flow outlet in the second hollow pipe and into the flowing first fluid in the first hollow pipe; and configuring an area of the first baffle flow outlet area to be greater than or equal to an area of the second baffle flow outlet area.

Appl. No.:

13/973410

Inventors:

Steven Alan Treese - Katy TX, US

Assignee:

Phillips 66 Company - Houston TX

International Classification:

B01F 5/04

US Classification:

3661585, 3661541

Abstract:

An injection system may include a first hollow pipe through which a first fluid flows and a second hollow pipe through which a second fluid flows, the first fluid for mixing into the second fluid. The second hollow pipe may reside through a wall of the first hollow pipe and have an opening near its end that is near a centerline of the first hollow pipe. A longitudinal baffle may reside within the second hollow pipe and together with the second hollow pipe, define a first and second baffle flow path within the second hollow pipe for the second fluid. A transverse baffle may be attached to the longitudinal baffle to protrude into the opening of the second hollow pipe. The transverse baffle divides the opening into a first baffle flow outlet and a second baffle flow outlet, for the first baffle flow path and the second baffle flow path.

Appl. No.:

7/502048

Inventors:

Steven A. Treese - Placentia CA

Assignee:

Union Oil Company of California - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

B01F 304

US Classification:

2611142

Abstract:

A bubble cap assembly for attachment over an opening in a deck tray of a gas-liquid contact apparatus. The bubble cap assembly comprises a riser located over an opening providing fluid communication from a lower surface of the deck tray to an upper surface. A bubble cap encompasses an upwardly extending end of the riser and has an opening located in a top portion thereof. A retainer member is disposed within a passageway in the riser. The retainer member has outwardly extending end portions for engaging a lower surface of the deck tray and an upwardly extending shaft portion with a slot adjacent its upper end. A locking means is provided which comprises a wedge for tightly urging the bubble cap, spacer means and riser member against an upper surface of the deck tray and urging the lower outwardly extending end portions of the retainer member against the lower surface of the deck tray.

Appl. No.:

14/831951

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Steven A. TREESE - Katy TX, US

Assignee:

PHILLIPS 66 COMPANY - Houston TX

International Classification:

C10G 47/36
C10G 45/72

Abstract:

The disclosure provided herein describes processes for rapidly quenching an over-temperature hydroprocessing reaction utilizing a pressurized quenching agent that is rapidly released into the hydroprocessing reactor. Optimally, the quenching agent blocks acidic catalytic sites of the hydroprocessing catalyst to competitively inhibit exothermic reaction rate. Exemplary quench agents include ammonia or a chemical that is converted to ammonia under hydroprocessing conditions.
