Handling LPG Components In LNG Plants

Mar 14, 2011
Stanley Huang
Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) recovery is an inherent part of most Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production trains. The requirement serves many purposes, such as adjusting the heating value of the product LNG, mitigating the freezing risks caused by specific intermediate and heavy components, and...

Thermal Plasma Gasification of Different Coals with Carbon Dioxide

Mar 14, 2011
Maoqi Feng
Carbon dioxide emissions from conventional coal-fired power plants constitute the majority CO 2 emissions in the U.S. Mitigation of CO 2 by chemical conversion provides an alternative method to reduce the CO 2 emissions from coal gasification process with the benefit of eliminating energy-intensive...

Scale-up of Advanced Methanol to Olefins (MTO) and Olefins Cracking Process (OCP)

Mar 14, 2011
Eric Romers, John Senetar
Abstract: The conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO) is a means to produce ethylene and propylene from feedstock derived from sources other than crude oil or condensates. Methanol is widely produced from natural gas or coal at locations with abundant reserves. By utilizing methanol derived from...

Efficient Power Recovery In LNG Regasification Plants

Mar 14, 2011
Hans E. Kimmel
Regasification plants vaporize liquefied natural gas using mainly high-pressure LNG pumps and heat exchangers. The vaporization pressure corresponds to the natural gas pipe line pressure. Due to the large temperature difference between the LNG feed and the pipe line gas, a substantial power...

Petroleum Resid Conversion: Opportunities and Limitations

Mar 14, 2011
Irv Wiehe
In the conversion of vacuum resids one has the option to form coke as a byproduct or to devise conversion processes that prevent coke formation while forming a heavy liquid byproduct. The theme of this presentation is that both options can be greatly improved over current commercial practice but...

Jinwen Chen
Predicting Operating Regimes in Heavy Gas Oil Hydrotreating Reactors Jinwen Chen and Mugurel Munteanu CanmetENERGY, Natural Resources Canada One Oil Patch Drive, Devon, AB, T9G 1A8, Canada Hydrotreating (HDT) or mild hydrocracking (HDC) of heavy gas oil or vacuum gas oil is an important step in...

Plasma Assisted De-NOx In Diesel Engine

Mar 14, 2011
Dae Hoon Lee
Plasma assisted De-NOx systems in mobile application are introduced. In general, de-NOx process requires reductant for reducing catalyst. NH3(Urea) fueling, post injection of diesel fuel are representative of method for supplying reductant. Here, using synthesis gas by on board reforming as...
