20140093407 | HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH MODULAR INSERTS - A hydraulic turbocharger having replaceable, insertable components, including volute inserts, vaned diffuser inserts, nozzle inserts, diffuser inserts, nozzle liners and diffuser liners, that define the internal passageways of a hydraulic turbocharger. By making various components of the turbocharger removably insertable and replaceable, turbochargers can be manufactured in a cost-effective way to maximize efficiency, obtain improved performance and make it easier to operate these types of devices over a wide range of operating conditions. Moreover, the devices can be readily modified while in the field when operating conditions change. | 04-03-2014 |
20140128655 | ISOBARIC PRESSURE EXCHANGER IN AMINE GAS PROCESSING - A system includes an amine gas processing system that includes a contactor configured to remove an acid gas from an untreated natural gas using an amine in a lean amine stream, output a treated natural gas, and output a rich amine stream. The system also includes a regenerator configured to regenerate the amine in the rich amine stream, output the lean amine stream, and output the acid gas. The system also includes an isobaric pressure exchanger (IPX) configured to transfer the rich amine stream from the contactor to the regenerator and to transfer the lean amine stream from the regenerator to the contactor. | 05-08-2014 |
20140128656 | ISOBARIC PRESSURE EXCHANGER CONTROLS IN AMINE GAS PROCESSING - A system includes an amine gas processing controller that includes one or more tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media collectively storing one or more sets of instructions and one or more processing devices configured to execute the one or more sets of instructions to operate a contactor to remove an acid gas from an untreated natural gas using an amine in a lean amine, output a treated natural gas, and output a rich amine stream, operate a regenerator to regenerate the amine in the rich amine stream, output the lean amine stream, and output the acid gas, transfer the rich amine stream from the contactor to the regenerator using an isobaric pressure exchanger (IPX), and transfer the lean amine stream from the regenerator to the contactor using the IPX. | 05-08-2014 |
20150068975 | WEAR-RESISTANT LINER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system includes a wear-resistant liner that includes a matrix material and a plurality of inserts embedded within the matrix material. One or more inserts of the plurality of inserts includes a retention feature. The retention feature is configured to increase adhesion between the one or more inserts of the plurality of inserts and the matrix material. | 03-12-2015 |

20150118131 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING TURBINE SYSTEMS WITHIN GAS PROCESSING SYSTEMS - A system includes a solvent gas processing system having a high pressure reaction vessel configured to remove an acid gas from an untreated feed gas using a solvent in a lean solvent fluid stream. The system includes a high pressure reaction vessel is configured to output a treated clean gas and a first flow of a high pressure fluid stream via a first flow path. The system includes a turbine having a main nozzle, an auxiliary nozzle, and an outlet. The main nozzle is configured to receive a second flow of the high pressure fluid stream from the first flow path via a main flow path. The system includes an auxiliary nozzle valve disposed along an auxiliary flow path. The auxiliary nozzle valve is configured to control a third flow of the high pressure fluid stream into the auxiliary nozzle of the turbine. | 04-30-2015 |
