US Classification:
477 53, 477 30, 60330, 60718
Abstract:
A system employing a torque converter and a synchronizing motor to start up a large rotational driver/load combination. The torque converter is employed to increase the rotational speed of the load to the maximum speed permitted by the torque converter. The synchronizing motor is then employed to further increase the rotational speed of the load to substantially match the rotational speed of the driver.

Assignee:
ConocoPhillips Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
F25J 1/00 F02C 7/26
US Classification:
62611, 62612, 60776
Abstract:
An LNG facility employing an enhanced fuel gas control system. The enhanced fuel gas control system is operable to produce fuel gas having a substantially constant Modified Wobbe Index (MWI) during start-up and steady-state operation of the LNG facility by processing one or more intermediate process streams in a fuel gas separator. In one embodiment, the fuel gas separator employs a hydrocarbon-separating membrane, which can remove heavy hydrocarbons and/or concentrate nitrogen from the incoming process streams.

International Classification:
F25J 1/00 F25J 3/00
US Classification:
062613000, 062612000, 062620000
Abstract:
Process for efficiently operating a natural gas liquefaction system with integrated heavies removal/natural gas liquids recovery to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) and/or natural gas liquids (NGL) products with varying characteristics, such as, for example higher heating value (HHV) and/or propane content. Resulting LNG and/or NGL products are capable of meeting the significantly different specifications of two or more markets.
Enhanced Heavies Removal/Lpg Recovery Process For Lng Facilities
A LNG facility, and operating method therefor, capable of more efficiently and/or effectively removing heavy hydrocarbon components from the processed natural gas stream and recovering the removed heavy components as LPG.

International Classification:
F25J 1/00
US Classification:
62612
Abstract:
The current invention provides a methodology and apparatus for the liquefaction of normally gaseous material, most notably natural gas, which reduces the number of process vessels required and/or reduces space requirements over convention apparatus.
