Title: Innovations by Charles R. Mims
Introduction
Charles R. Mims is an accomplished inventor based in Sumrall, MS (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of gas well instrumentation and natural gas conditioning. With a total of 2 patents, Mims has demonstrated his expertise and commitment to advancing technology in the energy sector.
Latest Patents
Mims' latest patents include innovative solutions for gas well flow instrumentation and natural gas conditioning systems. The first patent, titled "Gas Well Flow Instrumentation," features a computation unit that measures parameters of gas flow at the wellhead. This unit accumulates gas flow information over various independent time intervals. The accompanying interrogation unit selectively accesses this stored information, making a permanent record and calibrating the computation unit. It also includes an integral printer that documents flow information for proof of actual gas flow.
The second patent, "Natural Gas Conditioning System and Method," describes a separation and dehydration system for natural gas. This system includes a separation stage where gas is expanded to remove liquid water and hydrocarbons. The flow of raw gas can be directed from the well or through a heat exchanger, where it is heated by hot glycol. The flow is controlled based on the temperature in the separation stage to maintain a desired temperature range. The gas then flows to a specially constructed dehydrator stage, where it interacts with glycol in both co-current and counter-current relationships.
