System And Method For Liquefying Natural Gas With Turbine Inlet Cooling

View page
US Patent:
20180051928, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Jul 27, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/661305
Inventors:
Richard A. Huntington - Spring TX, US
Paul W. Sibal - The Woodlands TX, US
Michael T. Matheidas - The Woodlands TX, US
International Classification:
F25J 1/02
F25J 1/00
F25J 3/02
Abstract:
A system and method for processing natural gas to produce liquefied natural gas is disclosed. The natural gas is cooled in one or more heat exchangers using a first refrigerant from a first refrigerant circuit in which the first refrigerant is compressed in a first compressor driven by a first gas turbine having a first inlet air stream. The natural gas is liquefied using a second refrigerant, the second refrigerant being compressed in a second compressor driven by a second gas turbine having a second inlet air stream. At least one of the inlet air streams is chilled from about the respective dry bulb temperature to a temperature below the respective wet bulb temperature. Water contained in at least one of the chilled first and second air streams is condensed and separated therefrom. At least a portion of the first refrigerant is condensed or sub-cooled using the separated water.

US Patent:
20180051929, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Jul 27, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/661315
Inventors:
Michael T. Matheidas - The Woodlands TX, US
Paul W. Sibal - The Woodlands TX, US
Richard A. Huntington - Spring TX, US
International Classification:
F25J 1/02
F25J 1/00
F25J 3/02
Abstract:
A method and system for cooling a process fluid is disclosed. An inlet air stream of a turbine is cooled with an inlet air cooling system. Moisture contained in the cooled inlet air stream is condensed and separated from the cooled inlet air stream to produce a water stream in an open-loop circuit. The water stream is sprayed into an air cooler air stream. The combined air cooler air stream and sprayed water stream is directed through an air cooler. Heat is exchanged between the process fluid and the combined air cooler air stream and sprayed water stream to thereby condense, chill, or sub-cool the process fluid.

Device And Method For Controlling Rotating Equipment Seal Without Buffer Support Equipment

US Patent:
20180038488, Feb 8, 2018
Filed:
Aug 5, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/229704
Inventors:
Michael T. MATHEIDAS - The Woodlands TX, US
Niran Singh Khaira - Spring TX, US
Richard A. Huntington - Spring TX, US
International Classification:
F16J 15/43
Abstract:
A method and system for actively controlling an axial separation between a seal face of a stationary ring and a seal face of a rotating ring of a gas seal is disclosed. At least one property is sensed indicative of a condition of at least one of the seal faces. With at least one sensing device, a characteristic of the axial separation between the seal faces is sensed. A net magnetic force of at least one magnetic device is adjusted based on the property and/or the characteristic. Adjusting the net magnetic force adjusts the axial separation between the seal faces. Without using a buffer gas between the seal faces, flow of gas or other fluid is controlled between the seal faces by adjusting the axial separation.

Local Electrical/Instrumentation Room

View page
US Patent:
20170085064, Mar 23, 2017
Filed:
Jul 12, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/208034
Inventors:
Brandon CASSIMERE - Houston TX, US
Michael T. Matheidas - The Woodlands TX, US
Donald P. Shatto - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
H02B 7/00
B25J 9/16
H02B 1/56
B25J 5/02
H05K 7/20
H02B 7/01
Abstract:
Described herein is a local electrical room (LER) for use in an industrial facility such as an oil and gas facility. The LER includes one or more robots that perform functions on the electrical equipment enclosed therein. The LER is filled with a non-atmospheric fluid or gas and may be cooled and/or pressurized for optimal performance of the electrical equipment.

Device And Method For Magnetically Controlled Dry Gas Seal

View page
US Patent:
20170045144, Feb 16, 2017
Filed:
Aug 5, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/229712
Inventors:
Niran Singh KHAIRA - Spring TX, US
Richard A. Huntington - Spring TX, US
Michael T. Matheidas - The Woodlands TX, US
International Classification:
F16J 15/43
Abstract:
A method to control an axial separation between a rotating ring and a stationary ring of a dry gas seal. The dry gas seal restricts leakage of a gas or other fluid to or from a rotating device. At least one property of the gas or other fluid is sensed. At least one of the axial separation between the rotating ring and the stationary ring, and a time rate of change of the axial separation, is sensed. A stiffness of a film between the rotating ring and the stationary ring is estimated. A field strength of at least one magnetic device is adjusted based on at least two of the sensed axial separation, the sensed time rate of change of the separation, and the estimated film stiffness. The axial separation between the rotating ring and the stationary ring is adjusted.

William N. Yunker - The Woodlands TX, US
Michael T. Matheidas - The Woodlands TX, US
International Classification:
G01M 3/18
Abstract:
Systems and a method for detecting potential areas of corrosion under insulation are provided. An exemplary system includes an enclosure, insulation disposed upon an outer surface of the enclosure, and a number of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors. The MEMS sensors detect water proximate to the insulation.
