The present invention relates to methods for separating and recovering ethane, propane and heavier components from a feed gas, e.g. raw natural gas or a refinery or petroleum plant gas stream or a petrochemical plant gas stream. These methods employ a common new concept which is the use of the turbo-expander shaft compressor to generate the reflux requirement for the cryogenic absorber or distillation columns. The power of the turbo-expander which is absorbed by the shaft compressor is always high enough so that reflux generation by a specific gas compression through the expander shaft compressor and subsequent cooling, condensation and sub-cooling can always be easily maintained. The present invention allows for higher cryogenic absorber pressure and a lower demethanizer/de-ethanizer column pressure thus eliminating the common cryogenic pump at absorber bottom. The present invention ultimately results in a lower residue compression and utilities consumption. The present invention as such allows for a higher 99+% recovery of NGL from the feed gas stream.

Methods are described for generating electrical power from low grade heat sources from refining and petrochemical processes, including overhead vapors from vapor-liquid contacting apparatuses such as distillation columns, absorbers, strippers, quenching towers, scrubbers, etc. In many cases, these overhead vapors exit the apparatuses at a temperature from about 90° C. (194° F.) to about 175° C. (347° F.). Rather than rejecting the low temperature heat contained in these vapors to cooling air and/or cooling water, the vapors may instead be used to evaporate an organic working fluid. The vapors of the working fluid may then be sent to a turbine to drive a generator or other load.

The present invention is related with bioplasticizers or primary oleochemical plasticizers and the improved process for obtaining thereof. It refers primarily to epoxydized oleochemical plasticizers produced from vegetable oils, as substitute of traditional petrochemical plasticizers. The process starts with the epoxydized product of natural oils, such as sunflower, linseed, Jatropha curcas, soybean, etc., which are transesterified with an alcohol such as ethylic or methylic, in the presence of a catalyst such as sodium methoxide or sodium hydroxide in order to produce an alkylic esters mixture of the fatty acids that were present in the oil or oil mixture used as raw material in the epoxydized oil production. When the plasticizer obtained by the process already mentioned is used for the formulation of moldable poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, resins; the resulting plastic films get adequate hardness, static and dynamic thermal stability, and plasticizer extractability by solvents, such as n-hexane, gasoline and oil. Besides, when the PVC resin is formulated with a phthalic or terephthalic plasticizers mixture and the bioplasticizer, the bioplasticizer presents a full range solubility and or compatibility with the remainder of the resin compounds. The oxyrane chemical ring of the bioplasticizer is an excellent chemical neutralizer of the HCL that might be formed from the PVC, due to the action or interference of thermal or UV radiation.
