Abstract:
A method and system for precipitation and separation of carboxylic acid salts from a hydrate inhibitor solution is disclosed. The method comprises lowering the solubility of the carboxylic acid salts to force precipitation of carboxylic acid salts and separation of the precipitated carboxylic acid salts from the hydrate inhibitor solution.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power supply system (PS) for an AC type of coalescer (EC). The power supply system (PS) comprises a first transformer (T1), a controllable transformer (CT), a resonant control circuit (RCC) and a control system. The first transformer (T1) has a primary winding with first and second primary terminals (T1 P1 , T1 p 2 ) and a secondary winding with first and second secondary terminals (T1 S1 , T1 s2 ), where the first and second secondary terminals (T1 s i , T1 s2 ) are provided for connection to electrodes of the coalescer (EC). The controllable transformer (CT) has a primary side for connection to an AC power source (U) and a secondary side connected to first and second nodes (A, B), where the second node (B) is connected to a second primary terminal (T1 p 2 ) of the first transformer (T1). The resonant control circuit (RCC) is connected between the first node (A) and the second node (B). The control system is controlling the controllable transformer (CT). The power supply system (PS) further comprises a capacitor (C) connected between the first node (A) and a first primary terminal (T1 P1 ) of the first transformer (T1).
