Abstract:
A process is presented for separating and removing acid gases or base gases from an acid feed gas or a base feed gas, respectively, by use of a gas permeable membrane and caustic or acidic solution. In particular, the process utilizes a caustic or an acidic solution, separated from the base feed gas or acid feed gas by a gas permeable membrane, to react with the base gases, such as, for example, ammonia (NH3), or acid gases, such as, for example, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon oxysulfide (COS) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), to form salts, thereby facilitating the removal of said base gas or said acid gas from the base feed gas or acid feed gas, respectively. In another aspect of the present invention is presented an apparatus for treating a feed gas containing an acid or a base gas wherein the apparatus comprises a feed gas passage; a treatment solution container containing a treatment solution; and a gas permeable membrane.

Abstract:
Conventional migration of short offset seismic data is performed. An interval velocity is obtained using, for example, check shots. An initial model of effective anellipticity parameter as a function of depth is obtained by flattening long offsets within a common image point. From these, interval anellipticity and horizontal velocity are obtained as a function of time. These initial models are used for anisotropic imaging. Any remaining residuals are used to update the interval anellipticity model and the process of migration is repeated until satisfactory results are obtained.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of synthesis gas (i.e., a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen), typically labeled syngas. More particularly, the present invention relates to a regeneration method for a syngas catalyst. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to the regeneration of syngas catalysts using a re-dispersion technique. One embodiment of the re-dispersion technique involves the treatment of a deactivated syngas catalyst with a re-dispersing gas, preferably a carbon monoxide-containing gas such as syngas. If necessary, the catalyst is then exposed to hydrogen for reduction and further re-dispersion.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing the maximum water concentration in multi-phase reactors operating at Fischer-Tropsch conditions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of reducing the maximum concentration of water in a multi-phase reactor containing an expanded slurry bed and a water-rich slurry region for Fisher-Tropsch synthesis includes changing the flow structure of a predetermined region in the reactor. The flow structure may be changed by introducing a mixing enhancing fluid into the predetermined region, installing baffles into the predetermined region, or by other methods known in the art. Preferably the predetermined region is located between null H and H and between null R and R, where H is the height of the expanded slurry bed and R is the radius of the reactor.
