l ART vOR. METHOD OF MAKING GASOLENE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patnlged Aug. 12,1913.
Application filed March 20,
To all whom t may concern: v 7` Be it known that I, EDGAR W. TAIT, citizen of the United States of America,
invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Art or Method of Making Gasolene, of which the following is aspeciiication.
My invention consists of certain new and useful improvements in thek art or method of making gasolene.
My process consists in exposing to applied heat natural O'as commingled with a higher liquid paraflin, the heat vaporizing the higher liquid paraffin, and then condensing the resultant to form a liquid of lower1 specific gravity than that of the higher liquid paraflin.
In carrying out my process I commingle kerosene, naphtha or other of the higher form, with either hot 'or cold natural gas, and then heat them together in either a tank, still, or long worm or coil of pipe by means of an exterior flame orburner, the heat vaporizing the higher parailin.' The natural gas may be introduced into this tank, still, or worm or coil of pipe, either at the natural rock pressure from the well, or it may be forced therein by means of a pump or compressor. The degree of heat to be applied varies from about 200,Fahrenheit upward, depending on the quality of the natural gas used, the specific gravity of the higher parailin used, and on the desired specific gravity of t-he product. The relative amount of the higherparailins to the volume 'of natural gas used depends'on the desired specificV gravity of the product; (for instance, if the quantity of the kerosene, naphtha or other higher parafiins in proportion to the quantity of the natural Vgas used is diminished, the "product becomes of lower specific gravity). I then condense the commingled vaporized hydrocarbons into a liquid to form a hydrocarbon liquid suitable for use in explosive engines, The condensation may be effected by any known mingled vaporized hydrocarbons through a long worm or coil of pipe until the mass is sufficiently coo-led, and then into a sepa- Additional cooling may be had by expanding the unconsuin'ed gas in the tank,
Serial No. 615,727.
into a .tank or pipe incasing the coil or worm 1n which the commingled vaporized hydrocarbons are traveling.
I have illustrated in the accompanyingv drawing, which is a diagrammatic view, one
jected to the heat of a burner G, and after it issues from the action of the burner it is commingled with oil or naphtha passing through the pipe H. From this point the commingled hydrocarbons pass through a pipe which is under the action of a second burner I, and thence pass through the condenser or cooling system, whence the hydrocarbon liquid suitable for use in explosive engines passes into the receiving tank.
A typical instance of the operation of my process is as follows z-If there is not suflicient natural pressure from the gas Well, compressor B should compress the natural gas taken into the system to a pressure of about 50 pounds per square inch, sufficient to cause a free circulation through the system. The natural gas travels through the coil G at the rate of 5,000 cubic feet per hour. The coil or worm G is composed of a pipe two inches in diameter and about Q00 feet in length. In the coil or worm G the natural gas is heated to about 500o F. The oil or higher paraffin is pumped into the natural gas at the raie of about 00 gallons per hour. The coil or worm I is composed of pipe two inches in diameter and about 300 feet in length. The temperature of the commingled substances in the coil I is maintained by means of the burner shown at about 300 F. The cooling system is composed of pipe two inches in diameter and about 1000 feet in length, of which the last two hundred feet are incased or jacketed. The pop valve on the receiving tank releases the unconsumed gas when the pressure in the receiving tank reaches 50 pounds per square inch.
I do not limit myself lto the above dimensions or quantities. Better results are obtained by using natural gas containing a' high percentage of ethane or higher paraf liquid suitable for use in explosive engines by commingling natural ,gas in proper proportion`v With a higher liquid paralin and exposing them to applied heat, the heat vaporizing 'the higher liquid parafiin, and then condensing the resultant to form a liquid of lower speci ravity than that of the higher liquid para n.
