Title: Innovations by Donald J Peters in Hydrocarbon Recovery
Introduction
Donald J Peters is an accomplished inventor based in Broken Arrow, OK (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon recovery, holding 2 patents that focus on improving processes and apparatuses for recovering hydrocarbons from air-hydrocarbon vapor mixtures.
Latest Patents
Peters' latest patents include a "Process for recovering hydrocarbons with air-hydrocarbon vapor mixtures" and an "Apparatus for recovering hydrocarbons from air-hydrocarbon vapor mixtures." The process involves flowing an air-hydrocarbon vapor mixture through a bed of solid adsorbent to remove hydrocarbons, producing a residue gas stream of substantially hydrocarbon-free air. This air is vented to the atmosphere, while the adsorbent bed is regenerated through a series of vacuum pumping and heating steps to desorb and recover hydrocarbons. The apparatus complements this process by facilitating the flow and regeneration of the adsorbent beds.
