| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7311001 | Multiphase flow measurement apparatus and method An apparatus is utilized for obtaining flow measurements from an individual oil and gas well. The apparatus utilizes pipe segments rather than vessels to separate the fluid components into a gas phase, a water phase, and an oil phase. Separation of the flow stream i... | 12/25/2007 |
| 5651896 | Sulfur separation system with interface control A liquid separator system for separating molten sulfur from liquid redox solution or reslurry water. The system includes a vessel with a top part and a bottom part. The vessel has a larger diameter at the top part than at the bottom part, and the cross se... | 07/29/1997 |
| 4939817 | Process and device for separating a sulfur-lye suspension For separating sulfur from a sulfur-lye suspension, the suspension is fed into a flooded separation tank, a temperature above the melting temperature of sulfur is maintained in the separation tank, and liquid sulfur and lye are withdrawn from the separati... | 07/10/1990 |
| 4923482 | Process for separating sulfur from ore An improved process for separating sulfur from low grade surface ore is disclosed. The process involves mixing small particles of sulfur ore with a dilute aqueous solution of an agent to form a slurry. The agent used should be capable of combining with th... | 05/08/1990 |
| 4876079 | Separation of a mixture of sulfur and alkaline solution and apparatus therefor For the separation of sulfur from a sulfur/alkaline solution suspension, the suspension is heated to a temperature above the melting temperature of the sulfur and is introduced under pressure into a separating tank 1, containing a separating chamber 8, al... | 10/24/1989 |
| 4730369 | Method and apparatus for melting and recovering sulfur in aqueous slurries Method and apparatus for recovering sulfur from an aqueous slurry. The slurry is passed downwardly through a shell-and-tube heat exchanger having vertically arranged tubes, wherein it is heated sufficiently to melt the sulfur. The liquid mixture leaving t... | 03/15/1988 |
| 4497635 | Sulfur remelting This invention is directed to a novel sulfur remelting method and an apparatus for employing the method. The method of remelting sulfur from a solid sulfur block may be comprised of generating super-heated liquid sulfur, spraying the super-heated liquid s... | 02/05/1985 |
| 4304570 | Method of separation of sulfur from a scrubbing liquid A suspension of sulfur in a scrubbing liquid is preheated with steam to a temperature above the melting point of the sulfur so that the latter spontaneously melts in the suspension which is introduced into a separating chamber in a sealed vessel. The scru... | 12/08/1981 |
| 4215996 | Controlling sulfur particle hardness Crystalline sulfur particles of predetermined, controlled, relative attrition resistance having diameters less than about 0.5 inch are formed by shock-crystallizing fused sulfur in an agitated quench medium by controlling the fused sulfur temperature at a... | 08/05/1980 |
| 4206181 | Pressure vessel for separating sulfur from an aqueous sulfur suspension Apparatus for continuously separating sulfur from an aqueous sulfur suspension which is heated above the melting point of sulfur. The apparatus comprises a pressure vessel having heating and stirring devices in its upper part, the lower part of the vessel... | 06/03/1980 |
| 4158039 | Pressure vessel for separating sulfur from an aqueous sulfur suspension Apparatus for continuously separating sulfur from an aqueous sulfur suspension which is heated above the melting point of sulfur. The apparatus comprises a pressure vessel having heating and stirring means in its upper part, the lower part of the vessel s... | 06/12/1979 |
| 4111805 | Separation of solvent from liquid sulfur A method and apparatus for separating solvent from liquid sulfur. The invention entails introducing an emulsion of liquid sulfur and a solvent of lower specific gravity into a first zone of a separator segregating the emulsion behind a sloped baffle to al... | 09/05/1978 |
| 4027656 | Sulphur melting apparatus and method Apparatus for melting sulphur, including an upstanding tube, or tubes, each being adapted to receive solid sulphur in its top open end and each having a heating jacket therearound. The sulphur along the tube wall is melted and caused to flow along the wal... | 06/07/1977 |
