Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent for Palla: “Mixed Membrane-Type Process for Fuel Gas Upgrading.” The invention describes a system for conditioning high-pressure raw fuel gas containing methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, ethane, propane, and heavier hydrocarbons.

The system uses a preheater to control the feed gas temperature and a splitter to divide the feed into two streams. A glassy membrane treats one stream by rejecting carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen sulfide while retaining methane and heavier hydrocarbons. A parallel rubbery membrane treats the other stream by rejecting carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and heavier hydrocarbons while retaining methane. The resulting conditioned gas streams are then combined. The supplied information lists 1 patent for Palla.

Career Highlights

Palla’s listed patent reflects work on membrane-based gas separation and fuel conditioning. His company affiliation is Air Liquide Advanced Technologies U.S. LLC.

Collaborations

Alexander S. Augustine is identified as Palla’s coworker. The available information does not specify whether Augustine collaborated on the patent.

Conclusion

Nagaraju Palla’s documented invention combines glassy and rubbery membrane processes to produce conditioned fuel gas, highlighting a practical approach to separating unwanted components while retaining methane.
