Claims32
An apparatus for conditioning feed gas, comprising:
- an outer tubular housing adapted to be operably coupled to an inlet stream of fluidic materials that defines an interior chamber;
- means for removing particles from the fluidic materials within the interior chamber of the outer tubular housing;
- means for removing liquids and particles from the fluidic materials operably coupled to and positioned outside of the outer tubular housing;
- an inner tubular housing that defines a passageway at least partially positioned within the outer tubular housing, wherein an end of the passageway is operably coupled to the means for removing liquids and particles, and wherein another end of the passageway is adapted to be operably coupled to an outlet stream of fluidic materials;
- one or more heating elements positioned within the passageway of the inner tubular housing;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the heating elements for monitoring and controlling the operation of the heating elements.
