[54] METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVAL OF OIL FROM UTILITY GAS STREAM [57] Abstract: The present application is directed to a method and system for preparing gaseous utility streams fromgaseous process streams, particularly, removing oil contamination from such streams prior to use in a dry gas seal. Themethods and systems may include at least one kinetic swing adsorption process including pressure swing adsorption,temperature swing adsorption, calcination, and inert purge processes to treat gaseous streams for use in dry gas sealsof rotating equipment such as compressors, turbines and pumps and other utilities. The adsorbent materials usedinclude a high surface area solid structured microporous and mesoporous materials. No. of claims: 35 No. of figures: 8

Note: Any interested individual may, within 3 months of publication of the grant, file objection thereof with the.Grievance Committee after payment of grievance fees

[54] METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND POSITIONING OF AUTONOMOUS DOWNHOLE TOOLS [57] Abstract: Methods and apparatus for actuating a downhole tool in a wellbore includes acquiring a CCL data set orlog from the wellbore that correlates continuously recorded magnetic signals with measured depth, and selects alocation within the wellbore for actuation of a wellbore device. The CCL log is then downloaded into an autonomous tool.The tool is programmed to sense collars as a function of time, thereby providing a second CCL log. The autonomoustool also matches sensed collars with the physical signature from the first CCL log and then self-actuates the wellboredevice at the selected location based upon a correlation of the first and second CCL logs.

[54] METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RETAINING A SOFT SEAL IN AN INTEGRATED FLAPPER MOUNT,HARD SEAT,SPRING HOUSING SURFACE CONTROLLED SUBSURFACE SAFETY VALVE [57] Abstract: Presented is a subsurface safety valve in which the flapper mount, hard seat and spring housing havebeen integrated into a single assembly. To accommodate a “soft seat insert,” a special retainer soft seat ring and softseat seal are provided. The soft seat seal fits over a conical 5 protruding surface (hard seat) that surrounds the mainbore of the safety valve on the bottom side of the spring housing. The retainer ring fits over the soft seat seal and holdsit in place against the conical surface. Notches along the perimeter of an upper flanged end of the soft seat seal preventgases, such as nitrogen, from becoming trapped behind the seal and potentially damaging it during a rapiddecompression event. A gap between the upper flanged end of the soft seat seal 10 and the lower spring housing allowthe seal to move up and down the conical protruding surface as the flapper opens and closes, reducing compression ofthe seal and the risk of a compression No. of claims: 15 No. of figures: 5

[54] A METHOD OF ISOLATING OLEFIN OLIGOMERIZATION PRODUCTS AND OF THE DECOMPOSITIONOF OLIGOMERIZATION CATALYST RESIDUES [57] Abstract: This invention relates to obtainment of olefin oligomers, which are used as copolymers, a raw material forthe preparation of oils and lubricants, and also for the obtainment of other chemical products. The invention relates tothe method of isolating oligomerization products of olefins and decomposing the oligomerization catalyst residues. Amethod of isolating oligomerization reaction products of olefins comprising an end-double bond, is carried out under theinfluence of a catalyst comprising chromium compounds, a nitrogen-containing ligand and an organoaluminumcompound, said method comprises a step of isolating independent olefin products and a step of treating catalystresidues, characterized in that the following three sequential steps are presented: a) isolating at least one liquid productof the oligomerization reaction of olefins from the output stream of the oligomerization reactor; b) treating a residuewith an aqueous solution of acid; c) separating an organic layer and aqueous layer. The use of the proposed methodsallows to isolate target reaction products avoiding the ingress of impurities of foreign substances such as alcohols intoproducts and/or recurrent solvent and eliminate the necessity in the separation of these foreign substances and to avoidthe contamination of lines and devices between the reactor and distillation column with a side product and to separatecatalyst residues from the side polymer, which facilitates the regeneration of the catalyst or separation of metalcompounds from the catalyst residues avoiding the precipitation of resin at the distillation of the high-boiling reactionproducts.

[54] SEPARATION VESSELS FOR USE IN POLYMERIZATION PROCESSES AND METHODS FOR CLEANINGSAME [57] Abstract: Both a system and method for cleaning a low pressure separation vessel of a high pressure polyethylenepolymerization plant are provided. The system includes a polytetrafluoroethylene lining that covers the interior surfacesof the vessel, and a cover mounting assembly including an annular clamp for detachably mounting a cover over thevessel. The mounting assembly includes a clamp actuator for quickly securing and releasing the cover with respect to atop rim of the vessel. The vessel is drained of liquid polyethylene and allowed to cool to ambient temperature, thuscreating a frozen “skin” of polyethylene around the interior surfaces of the vessel. The clamp actuator releases thecover. The polyethylene skin is peeled off the interior sides the vessel and gathered up at the top to form a neck, thuspeeling the polyethylene skin away from the polytetrafluoroethylene lining along with any degraded polymers or otherimpurities that have accumulated on the interior surfaces of the vessel.
