Love it. I love Silky Underwear. I bought it because I needed a new powder, but I will probably not be changing again. The scent has grown on me enormously as it is so gentle yet long lasting, and my skin feels so nice afterwards. Brilliant. The packaging is a bit naff, but thats easily overlooked.

I love this powder. I am not a huge "dusting" person, but it helps keep me cool in the summer and it's nice before bed too.

I too thought I did a review on this, oh well, here I go again! Up front this only is getting a 4 because the packaging SUCKS! You don't even have to open it to get powder, but I open it slightly so I can get some of the cocoa butter bits to rub onto my skin. Maybe it's the cocoa butter bits that makes everyone think this powder isn't finely milled, but that is the actual moisturizing agent in the powder. The scent is one of my FAVE. I love the earthy, feminie smell to this. I'm not huge on florals and this one has managed to combine the best of both worlds. No one particular note is overpowering which is wonderful. I put this on one morning after a Floating Island soak and got so many compliments. Amazingly no one was asking me what perfume, most didn't even realize it was me, they thought someone opened a window and some wonderful smells were coming in from outside. It wasn't until I sat down next to someone that they realized it was me and that was about 4 hours after I had put it on too. I poured mine out into another container (Benefit kitten) and use a puff to apply it now. Sometimes if I want this scent with a bit of shimmer, I use my Benefit Kitten powder puff with this on it and I get the best of both worlds.

If it weren't for the absolutely compelling scent, I would probably not buy this again because of the packaging. A hint I discovered with LUSH powders is not to open the large hole all the way. I only cut about 1/2 of it open so this doesn't leak out all over. But even using this technique doesn't control how much flows through the big holes. I think it's a shame that for the price you have to transfer this to a more suitable means of application. I do enjoy the way it leaves my skin feeling. Most powders dry me out, but this as it warms up ends up making my skin feeling lovely. I wish they made this scent in other bath treatments! It's scent is not flowery, yet somehow it still keeps it's feminity with the Jasmine, Cocoa Butter and Vetivert.

I agree with those who pointed out the annoying packaging - one must be very careful when applying this, or else they'll be deluged in powder. To me, this smells like a homemade vanilla-coconut pudding (I guess that must be the coacoa butter). Even the groom likes to use this during the summer. Who needs to wear perfume when you're wearing this yummy stuff?

I gave this one a 3 for price because I got less than I would have liked for the amount I spent, but... IF I didn't like in the U.S. of A, I bet it wouldn't be exhorbitantly expensive. The scent is very fresh but seductively earthy at once. Yes, there's the Jasmine but further underneath there's my all-time favourite scent in the world, Vetivert oil. Think elves and fairyland: it's earthy, but lightly, playfully so. The kind of secret neat thing about this powder, as stated in other reviews, is that it has tiny particles of cocoa butter smudged in its innars, and these secret blobs melt luxuriously into your skin as the powder heats up, thus smoothing and soothing tired, dry skin rather than making it itchy and flakey. A great thing, I say. The bad, other drawback (other than its Lack of US foothold) is the BIG open holes in the top of the container. I think I don't mind that much because I powder it onto myself in the bathroom, and the scent clouds around me, but I bet it gets annoying if you accidentially bump the container too much and: whoop, dump the stuff all over. Still: pretty, pretty smell and soft, soft skin = a plus in my book.

This is one of the most amazing smelling products ever! I cannot get enough of the scent and it seems to last a long time. The downfall of this product is that I find it a little on the drying side as opposed to moisturizing. Maybe its me-I use a lot more lotions than powders. I will still buy this though because the scent is fantastic!

I agree with the other reviewers that the packaging for this is crummy. The powder comes out from the sides as well as the oversized holes. It's very expensive for what you get, and I don't see a big difference between it and other body powders. I don't hate it, but I won't be buying it again.

The only thing I don't like about this product is its container (like parmesan cheese) inspite of its price. But the powder itself is heavenly. I have finished 3 tubs already and i will keep on using it especially since I'm a dusting powder person. It smells of Jasmine and it has bits of cocoa butter. I love this product because of how it smells (divine!) and how smooth it is on. Hope lush releases a frangrance which smells like Silky Underware!

For those who can be bothered using a dusting powder for the body, this is quite a nice one. I never bothered with it until recently- the shabby packaging has always been a bit annoying for me.
On the upside, this is really silky and finely pigmented. I prefer a shimmer in my body products, but this is nice straight after a shower, and before I head to bed. :) All soft and comforting. :) continued >>

My brother died unexpectedly on Saturday. Funeral is Friday and I have no idea how to dress my 2 year old girl. Everyone else is in dark colors, but she has absolutely no dark dresses. Is a lighter dress totally inappropriate?
How to dress a 2 yo girl for a funeral?
we went to my grandpas funeral in june in az it was pretty hot so i dressed my 2 year old in a bright pink tank top and a black tutu. i wasnt gonna go buy something dark for that one day. my nephews were in jeans and white polo shirts i personally dont think its inappropriate
So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. My Grandma died in June. I dressed DD in a white layered top and black pants and black sandals. Everyone loved her outfit. I would suggest getting someone to watch your lo. My cousin took care of my kids during the funeral, including driving then in the procession. I am so greatful to her for doing that for me, especially since I had to read.
I am so sorry for your loss.
When I went to my Mormon grandma's funeral, the little kids (and there were lots of them) were dressed like little kids. I think I would have felt more depressed seeing them in funeral attire. It was comforting to see them play; oblivious to the sadness around them.
I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.
As far as LO's dress I think any outfit would be appropriate.

The Cleveland Metroparks are a great place to spend an afternoon anytime of the year. One of my favorite things to do is go Tobogganning at the Chalet at Mill Stream Run in the winter. The shoots are refrigerated, so it is pretty much a safe bet, regardless of the weather. The metroparks also offer good biking, hiking, cross country skiing and golfing.

Weight of material is just right. Rolls up nice and tight. This is not a custom fit for a 1978 Celica Liftback however. It would appear to be cut for an 82 and later. Does not follow the front fender curves and is too stretched over the front bumper. No mirror pockets either.

Delicious carnitas and chips with guac/salsa. The bartender made a mean margarita too; try the homemade liquor topper! Everything seems safe, and my husband and I are both dairy/gluten intolerant. Nice late night find!
Suite 6101, 130 The Island Dr, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
I have celiac and enjoyed their gluten free volcano nachos. they ran about $16. We ate them two nights in a row. They were just that great! Easily fed 4 - especially if you decide to order the gluten free brownies topped with whipped topping and heath encrusted ice cream. Amazing! Just ask for a gluten free menu.
4520 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60641
GF deep dish was amazing! I never thought I would ever get to try one! And in Chicago! It is a home made crust that they developed themselves. It was so good that I took my leftovers - which I never do on vacation. My husband, who can eat anything, ordered GF Fettuccini Chicken Alfredo. It was also fantastic! I would go out of my way to stop here again!
1419 N Tustin St, Orange, CA 92867
Delicious, lots of gluten free (and celiac friendly) options, friendly staff, clean restaurant and an inviting outside patio. It's great good and a trendy look inside; seriously a DELIGHT to eat here!
38 Shelter Cove Lane, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928
Wonderful food had the GF shrimp and cod. Very good food will definitely being going back
702 Manitou Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
If I could give it no stars I would. It's apparently under new ownership and the have some kinks to workout. Serious kinks. Th wait staff, owner, manager and hostess had no idea about gluten free. Then I was told it's all gluten free, but they use a BBQ sauce I know to not be GF. The burgers were the pre bought frozen in a sleeve from Costco and were so over cooked no one was satisfied. They took an hour to bring our food. 90% of the orders were delivered wrong. Won't be going back.
641 S West End Blvd, Quakertown Pennsylvania 18951, United States
Awesome food! Friendly people. I will definitely be going back.

gluten free products that taste great. the blueberry parker bars are awesome.

This place was amazing! My husband & I found everything we needed (except meat & produce) for cooking on our vacation. There's a bakery on the back which makes delicious donuts!
20 Basin St, Astoria, OR 97103
Not only is the setting beautiful but the food is fantastic! Mostvof their menu is naturally gf or can be easily made gf. When I asked our server if the gf fish & chips were cooked in a designated frier she responded by telling me the owner's wife, daughter, & granddaughter all had celiac & the restaurant is celiac safe. I had the fish & chips while my husband had clam chowder. We both enjoyed everything!
526 NW Coast St, Newport, OR 97365
This place has amazing food & highly educated staff! My husband & I went there for lunch and were so impressed we went back the next morning for breakfast. They have a separate prep area & grill/pannini press for gf orders. Their house made gf bread is some of the best I've ever had.

My new favorite pizza place. All ingredients are very fresh.

I have eaten here on many occasions and even though the review below is correct that the toppings do come from shared containers the toppings are gluten free.. Would I recommend this for a person who is celiac... Maybe not... But I have eaten here MANY times and have never had a reaction.

Yummy! Gf pizza was thin crust, which we love. Many options, including pasta.

Excellent food, excellent service. I don't know if this restaurant is celiac friendly or not. They seemed knowledgeable about the needs of those who must eat gluten free.

I have coded an environment for ie8 (internal, corporate).
Recently, we started ie9 deployment testing (i know, its so far behind....)
The app I work on does not work.
I changed the xua ie=edge to ie=8 and ie9 works, but for obvious reasons i don't want to limit ie 9 to ie8s rendering engine.
The areas that don't work are ajax population calls on a menu. ie, it prints

loading...

from source, and then
var request = $.ajax({
url: "xxurlxxx"
, type: "GET"
, cache: false
, dataType: "html"
request.done(function(msg) {
fills it in (this call returns a bunch of li's) with the option list.
the area stays on 'loading...' and the request.fail never fires either.
What about this method does ie9 not like? URL is local, not xdomain.

Respond to Review of Frapez
by kennyp353
Review: Right in the epicentre of San Francisco's gay area at Castro and 18th, between the "bear Starbucks" and Mix bar, this "smoothie spa" caused me a sharp intake of breath at the extremely high prices - $7 to $8 for 16oz, $9 to $10 for 20oz. I ordered a Next Door - "pumpkin seeds, cashews, banana, nutritional yeast, passion flower, carob powder, molasses, dulse, yogurt, orange juice" - and I was like, this had better be the best smoothie I've ever had. Fortunately, it was. By miles. At first I wasn't sure, but as I got into it, I loved it, and soon wished I'd ordered the larger one. There are some terrifying-looking choices on their menu - http://www.frapez.com - here's hoping yours is as excellent as mine.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by modpink Quite good I like the idea of this as it fits really easily to any car seat handle etc. but I find that all the toys don't really line up nicely and dangle well. My son is 3 months (5 weeks prem) and he doesn't seem to find it that engaging yet. Hopefully over the coming weeks he'll show more interest. Other than that the characters are cute, and I feel better that he's got something there to entertain him slightly when he needs it. I would recommend it for those who have babies that are at the stage of grabbing things or looking at themselves in a mirror as I think they will get some entertainment out of it. 30 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sarika Very lovely! This is definitely worth it's money. Bought it for my little brother who is 2 months old. He absolutely loves it and it keeps him quite for most time of a car ride. It's got a lovely range of colour and looks very cute. 3 of the dangling parts make noises and one has a mirror which keeps him happily entertained. Definitely recommend this, you won't be dissapointed! 13 September 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by svks74 keeps the baby entertained Great baby toy, which keeps my little one entertained on the move. Can transport it from the car seat to the buggy or highchair etc. Lovely bright colours & dangling funky toys that keeps the baby happy. Would definitely recommend this toy to friends & family 09 September 2014

Manhattan Kayak CompanyRead MoreFounded by Eric Stiller, who documented his journey kayaking and bicycling around an entire continent in the book Keep Australia on Your Left, Manhattan Kayak spans a team of instructors who lead kayaking and standup-paddleboarding instruction and tours beneath the city's glittering skyline. Veterans of the fitness industry, MKC's instructors use the dynamic currents of the Hudson River and Donald Trump's jacuzzi to train paddlers of all skill and fitness levels in the body-first method, which emphasizes paddling from the core. In addition to leading instruction and tours, MKC's crew also leads fitness classes including SUP Yoga, challenging participants to flow through poses while floating atop a paddleboard, aiming to boost participant health while earning the Statue of Liberty's respect.206 12th Ave.New York, NY US
Outdoor ConnectionsRead MoreDespite the adventure that the urban landscape of New York has to offer, some city dwellers can?t shake the itch to climb boulders, hike mountain trails, and surge through whitewater rapids. One group of New Yorkers decided to remedy this, organizing weekend retreats to places such as the Adirondacks and New Hampshire's White Mountains. As word of their adventures grew, more and more people asked to join, and thus began Outdoor Connections. Today, its guides lead outings for adventurers of all fitness levels, from a day of apple picking, hiking, and wine to full-moon hikes with campfire roasts and unabashed howling. Loading up large passenger vans, Outdoor Connections' team takes guests to places such as state parks and preserves in the Adirondacks and Catskills, as well as along the Hudson River Valley and Delaware and Lehigh Rivers.421 8th Ave.New York, NY US
SideTour - LeisureRead MoreSound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.10th Avenue and West 22nd StreetNew York, NY US
Move AdventuresRead MoreFitness industry veteran and personal trainer Yvonne Mo believes that fitness programs should work together with medial and nutrition professionals, as well as spa services, to help clients achieve physical wellness. At MovewithMo she offers functional movement screenings, corrective exercise, and sports-specific services that get students to reach their fitness goals in personal training sessions conducted in a private indoor gym. Mo has also assembled a team from all sorts of fitness backgrounds to lead out-of-city hikes and circuit workouts in idyllic locales. An excursion at Bear Mountain—less than an hour from Manhattan—combines hiking with circuit-training techniques such as pushups, lunges, burpees, and sprints.175 Adams StreetBrooklyn, NY US
Wheel Fun RentalsRead MoreWhen Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, Inc., he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.Jacob Riis ParkNew York, NY US
Freeport Kayak RentalsRead MorePushing off from from Waterfront Park, paddlers in kayaks and on standup boards from Freeport Kayak Rentals can go exploring in the surrounding bays. Traverse the waterways to Wampum Island, where you can stop to search for shells or practice etching S.O.S. into the sand. Duos can share rowing duties in tandem kayaks, scoping the waterscape for local wildlife such as egrets, gulls, and other shorebirds. Each rental includes lifejackets and paddles, as well as a brief orientation and safety tips for your journey.unknownNY, NY US

Dog Teaches Baby How To Crawl [VIDEOS]
Buddy the dog wants to make sure the baby knows how to start being mobile.
Buddy the dog wants to make sure the baby knows how to start being mobile.
This dog doesn't understand why everyone is so impressed with something walking on all 4s.
We have a list of least popular baby names from last year and these names are weird!
All you need to make a sweet video is a little bit of sour flavoring.
Picking a name for a baby can be tough, so maybe this study will help.
This is undeniably the most adorable baby video on the internet. Watch as this baby reacts with emotional tears of joy while her mother sings her a beautiful song.
A new study just came out and I think it is a little bit disgusting.
Upcoming two-time mama Jessica Simpson seems determined to spawn a collection of oddly-named babies. After giving her first child (a girl) the male moniker of Maxwell Drew, she's now thinking about calling her second child Ace.
Thus predestining the kid to be a race car driver. Or a high-stakes poker player. Or a greaser who hangs out behind the school cafeteria with a best bud named Soda Pop.
Babies are so easily entertained. This kid is really having a ball of time with his new toy (pun intended).
Days after they hosted an online baby shower for UNICEF, Colombian superstar Shakira and her husband, Gerard Piqué, have announced the birth of their first child - a beautiful (we're assuming) and healthy baby boy!

The second version of the Autumn Aurora brings the autumnal atmosphere to the Zone and totally overhauls the graphics, sound and gameplay of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl. The mod is built on the newest Zone Reclamation Project's core, it contains official AtmosFear for ShoC which has never been released before. AtmosFear has been extensively redesigned to match the autumn style.
It also holds an official new Absolute Nature for ShoC (never released as standalone as well) with new tree models from AN3 CoP and some new ones.
It is the perfect opportunity for every S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan to immerse again into Chernobyl universe in completely different style this time.

This mod is without a doubt the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC mod. I was wondering though. Is grass shadows supposed to be disabled for this mod? I was wondering because every time I restart the game, grass shadows gets disabled again.
I'm sorry. Grass shadows gets disabled only when I load a game save.
Grass shadows has been disabled in the engine by the developers of the game in patch 1.0003. No Stalker game past this version has grass shadows enabled except Lost Alpha.
The checkbox in the advanced options has no effect whatsoever.
This mod ( Moddb.com ) will work with AA2?
k, thanks for answer
game crashes when i load my saved game, any fix? I have the steam version and I'm not sure which version of the game I have, it's states that I need to have the 1.0006 but I'm not sure which one I have
Steam version should be OK but I can't help you without a log.
Does this amazing mod have SSAO and Dynamic Wet Surface, which appear in Complete 2012?
Ehrm, this mod looks much, much better than Complete. In fact, this is the best I've ever seen ShoC. Just play it and enjoy. :) Personally I enjoy the visuals even more without ENB, but with SweetFX.
Yes, ENB has SSAO.
And 'dynamic' wet surfaces in Complete 2012 are fake. They're just tweaked sky hdr textures that make everything look oily. We've tried the similar trick but it didn't look good so we didn't use them in the end.

While it's a great idea, there are many many flaws that make it a Misery (AKA unfun mod)for SoC. 1) The Grenade Damage and Range, way too high and ridiculous, IRL I could throw a grenade into a room, and stand to the side of the door, and survive with no injuries, in AA2, I can't be within 50m of it or I die. 2) The lack of visibility, yeah I get it "Muh immersion" but the bullshit that stems from being shot from places you can't see, even if you look directly at them, is ridiculous.

A research team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a mechanism in the brain that is key to making cocaine seem pleasurable, a finding that could lead to a drug treatment for fighting addiction.
The findings build on past research also involving CU-Boulder that found the same mechanism in the brain also interacts with heroin, oxycodone, morphine and other opioid drugs to amplify their addictiveness. The latest study suggests that the mechanism plays a key role in the addictiveness of many abused drugs, possibly including methamphetamine and alcohol.

Method and apparatus are disclosed which are improvements in the conventional method and apparatus for extracting water from a gas stream such as a natural gas stream by contacting the stream with a glycol to absorb the water, and then regenerating the glycol for further use in extraction by heating the moist glycol in a glycol regenerator to vaporize the water contained in same as steam. The improvement enables control of emissions of volatile organic compounds which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with the gas stream, while minimizing the contaminants in the water streams produced. The vented steam and gaseous volatile organics are flowed from the glycol regenerator as input to a cooling condenser having successive air and water-cooled condensers, to produce a condenser water stream having a relatively high content of the organic compounds. The condenser water stream is passed to a cooling tower and then through the tower in counter-current or cross-current relation to stripping air, whereby the condenser water stream is stripped of substantial parts of its organics content and emerges as a stripped water stream having low content of the organics. The stripped water stream is used to cool the water-cooled condenser.
1. In the method for extracting water from a gas stream containing quantities of water and of volatile organic compounds by contacting said gas stream with a glycol to absorb the water, and then regenerating the glycol for further use in said extracting by heating the moist glycol in a glycol regenerator to vaporize the water contained in same as steam and venting the steam and gasified volatile organics which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with the gas stream; the improvement enabling control of emissions of said volatile organic compounds which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with said gas stream, while minimizing contaminants in the produced water streams; comprising:
flowing the vented steam and gasified volatile organics from the glycol regenerator as input to a cooling condenser means including in series an air-cooled condenser and a downstream water-cooled condenser, said input being condensed at said condenser means into a condenser water stream having a relatively high content of said organic compounds, an organic vent gas, and an organic liquid;
passing said condenser water stream through a cooling tower in counter-current or cross-current relation to stripping air, whereby said condenser water stream is stripped of substantial parts of its organics content and emerges from the bottom of said cooling tower as a stripped water stream having relatively low content of said organics; and
utilizing at least a part of the stripped water stream for cooling said water-cooled condenser.
2. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said cooling tower is a counter-current cooling tower, said water stream being provided to the top of said counter-current cooling tower and allowed to descend countercurrent to said stripping air.
3. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the stripping air having passed in counter-current or crosscurrent relation to said condenser water stream is vented to atmosphere.
4. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the stripping air having passed in counter-current or crosscurrent relation to said condenser water stream is used to cool said air-cooled condenser.
5. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the moist glycol from contact with the said gas stream is passed through a flash tank before being passed to said regenerator for moisture extraction, said flash tank effecting separation of light hydrocarbons as flash gas; and wherein said flash gas is provided as a heating source to said glycol regenerator.
6. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said gas stream is a produced natural gas.
7. In a system for extracting water from a gas stream containing quantities of water and of volatile organic compounds, which system includes a glycol regenerator including a heating section for heating moist glycol provided thereto to thereby separate and vent the moisture from same as steam and gasified volatile organics which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with the gas stream; means to provide the moist glycol having contacted the gas stream to said glycol regenerator for heating, and means for discharging the dried glycol from said regenerator and recycle same for further drying of said gas stream; the improvement enabling control of emissions of volatile organic compounds which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with said gas stream and which are vented with said steam, while minimizing the organic contaminants in the water streams produced; comprising:
a cooling condenser means including in series an air-cooled condenser and a downstream water-cooled condenser;
means for flowing the vented steam and gaseous volatile organics from the glycol regenerator as an input to said cooling condenser means to produce a condenser water stream having a relatively high content of said organic compounds;
a cooling tower having means for establishing a flow of stripping air;
means for passing said condenser water stream as an input to said cooling tower, and thence through said tower in counter-current or cross-current relation to said stripping air, whereby said condenser water stream is stripped of substantial parts of its organics content and emerges from said cooling tower as a stripped water stream having relatively low content of said organics; and
means for recirculating at least part of said stripped water stream as a coolant for said water-cooled condenser.

This application is a continuation-in-part of copending application, Ser. No. 825,540, filed Jan. 24, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,209,762.
This invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for drying gases, especially natural gas, with a glycol; and more specifically relates to a method and apparatus of this type wherein the emissions of undesired organics which normally occurs during regeneration of the glycol are minimized.
Glycol dehydrators are commonly used to extract water from gas streams, including from produced natural gas streams to prevent problems associated with hydrate and ice formation and corrosion in the gas pipeline. Aromatic hydrocarbons are highly soluble in the triethylene glycol used in such glycol dehydrators and in the ethylene glycol used in large low temperature separation units. Therefore as the lean glycol solutions are contacted with the natural gas stream in an absorber, not only water, but various hydrocarbon species are absorbed. The water must be removed from the glycol to enable the latter's reuse in the drying of the gas. Accordingly, the water-containing (moist) glycol is conventionally heated in a so-called glycol regenerator, whereat the greater part of the water is vaporized, commonly in the form of steam and separated. A concentrated glycol having a low water content is recovered and recycled for further gas drying. This conventional type of operation is discussed in prior art patents such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,182,659 and 4,314,891, and is illustrated in simplified schematic fashion in the prior art system shown in FIG. 1. As seen therein the wet gas, as for example a natural gas 10 is provided to the bottom of an absorption column 12, emerges at the top of same and after passing through heat exchanger 13 is provided as a dry gas 14 for further use. During passage through the absorber 12, the gas contacts glycol 16, which is preferably triethylene glycol, in a countercurrent manner. The moist glycol emerges from the column at 18, passes through a throttle valve 20, is passed through a heat exchange loop 21 at the top of glycol regenerator 28, and provided to a flash tank 22 where it is expanded to the range of 2 to 10 atmospheres absolute. A two phase mixture forms at flash tank 22. Most of the mass will be present in the liquid phase as glycol and water. The bulk of the volume will be in the gas phase, mostly as light gases such as methane and propane. These light gases are undesired species that mainly have been absorbed in the glycol during drying. These light gases are vented at 24 as flash gas. Some of this flash gas may be vented at 23 as undesired emissions. The gas, 24, may also be used as fuel 25 to fire a reboiler 29 for regenerator 28. The glycol and small amount of water exits flash tank 22 at 27, then passes through a heat exchanger 26 where it is preheated and is then provided to the glycol regenerator 28.
The glycol regenerator 28 is heated, as for example from the gas fired reboiler 29 the flue gases from which exit at 30. The moist glycol is dried by the heat, and exits at line 31. It then passes through heat exchanger 26, is pumped back up to pressure by pump 33 and after passing through heat exchanger 13 is recycled back to absorber 12. Emissions from the heating are vented from the glycol regenerator 28 as regenerator off gas at 32. These emissions consist largely of the water which has been driven off from the glycol by the heating, which water is in the form of steam. However, there are also contained in the emissions a number of organic species, including benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (hereinafter collectively referred to as "BTEX"), and other volatile organic compounds ("VOCs") all of which (in the absence of control) are undesirably emitted to atmosphere.
The primary controls used to the present in order to eliminate or minimize organic emissions of the foregoing type are simple air and/or water-cooled condensers that produce a vent gas, an organic liquid, and liquid water containing organic compounds at a proportion of approximately 1400 parts per million (ppmw). This is comprised of about 350 ppm BTEX and 1050 ppm aliphatic hydrocarbons. Thus while BTEX control efficiency of these systems is high, a contaminated water is produced. This type of prior art control system is illustrated in the schematic showing of FIG. 2. Here the steam and organic emissions from glycol regenerator 28 pass via line 34 through a condenser 36 to the accumulator 38, where the emissions are separated into a water stream 40, an organic liquid 42, and vent gas 44. However, because of the nature of the emissions, the water stream 40 is highly contaminated as indicated. It may be noted that in some instance condenser 36 may include internally the functions of accumulator 38. Various thermal and catalytic incineration techniques have also been considered in the past as control techniques to eliminate the undesired organic species thus existing, but are costly to implement and not particularly effective or efficient.
In accordance with the disclosure of my aforementioned copending application, Ser. No. 825,540, emissions of volatile organic compounds which have been absorbed by the glycol during contact with the natural gas stream are controlled, while minimizing production of contaminants in the produced water stream. Pursuant to such disclosure, the vented steam and gaseous volatile organics (VOCs) from the glycol regenerator, are flowed as input to the bottom of a steam stripper column. The vapors exiting from the top of the steam stripper column are flowed to a cooling condenser to produce a condenser water stream having a relatively high content of the organic compounds. The condenser water stream is passed to the top of the steam stripper and then through the stripper in countercurrent relation to the gaseous VOCs and steam, in consequence of which the condenser water stream is stripped by the steam of substantial parts of its organics content, and emerges from the bottom of the stripper or column as a stripped water stream having relatively low content of the said organics. The stripped water stream may thereafter be passed to a water polishing stage whereat the organic content is further reduced to produce a polished water stream. Such further stage can take the form of an activated carbon adsorption system, an air stripper, or a polishing steam stripper. At least a portion of the polished water from these polishing systems can be utilized as coolant for the condenser where the latter includes a water-cooled stage or is generally of the water-cooled type. The vapors from the steam stripper are condensed into a condenser water stream, an organic vent gas, and an organic liquid. The vent gas may be used as a heating source for the glycol regenerator. In a further aspect of the prior invention, some of the energy content of the flash gas (see FIG. 1) may be used to compress the vent gas to render the latter more suitable for use as fuel at the regenerator and/or for flaring to atmosphere. Preferably the flash gas drives a jet compressor, whereby the combined flash and vent gases may be used for the aforementioned purposes.
While the aforementioned system is outstandingly effective for its intended purposes, it has been found in some instances that the steam stripper portion of the system introduces unnecessarily high costs and complexity. Accordingly, simplifications in such system have been sought which can yet achieve fully acceptable reductions in VOC emissions, and reduced contamination in the produced water streams.
Unexpectedly, it has now been found that the BTEX steam stripper portion of the Ser. No. 825,540 system may be omitted along with certain other modifications, and that the resulting system is yet extremely effective in providing an output water stream of very low organics content and in otherwise reducing VOC emissions. The simplified system of the invention in part relies on a cooling tower to air strip organics from the condenser water stream generated by cooling the steam and organic vapor discharges from the glycol regenerator.
Pursuant to the invention, the vented steam and gasified volatile organics from the glycol regenerator are flowed as input to a cooling condenser means including in series an air-cooled condenser and a downstream water-cooled condenser. The input vapors are condensed at the condenser means into a condenser water stream having a relatively high content of dissolved organic compounds, an organic vent gas, and an organic liquid. These phases are separated at an accumulator. The condenser water stream is provided to a cooling tower, sometimes in admix with recycle cooling water, and passed through the tower in counter-current or cross current relation to stripping air, whereby the condenser water stream is stripped of substantial parts of its volatile organics content and emerges from the cooling tower as a stripped water stream having relatively low content of said organics. At least part of the stripped water stream is used to cool the water-cooled condenser.
In a preferred procedure, the condenser water stream is passed to the top of a counter-current flow cooling tower and allowed to descend in counter-current relation to the stripping air, whereby the stripped water stream emerges from the bottom of the cooling tower. Although not as preferred as the counter-current cooling tower, a crossflow cooling tower can also be utilized in practice of the present invention.
One of the advantages of the invention derives from the fact that the system produces its own water for use as a coolant at the water-cooled condenser. This is a particularly valuable feature enabling effective use of the system at remote locations where other sources of cooling water are very scarce or even unavailable.
The invention is diagrammatically illustrated by way of example, in the drawings appended hereto, in which:

No. 825,540 application, for regenerating glycol used to dry a gas stream, while at the same time producing a water stream which is significantly lower in its concentration of BTEX and other undesired organic species. Portions of the FIGS. 1 and 2 showings are incorporated by reference; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic flow diagram illustrating a simplified system in accordance with the present invention, for generating glycol used to dry a gas stream, while producing a water stream which is significantly lowered in its concentrations of BTEX and other undesired volatile organic species.
In FIG. 3 herein a schematic flow diagram appears illustrating a system 50 in accordance with my aforementioned copending application. A generally conventional glycol regenerator 28 is provided, which is heated with fuel gas 51 and air 53 provided to the fuel input 54. Flue gas 30 from this heating section is discharged at output 56. The moist input glycol, which is preferably triethylene glycol, proceeds initially from absorber 12 (FIG. 1) via line 58. Some heat exchange to reflux a small amount of water is required in the glycol knock-back section 68. One means of providing this reflux is by heat exchange with the incoming moist glycol. The moist glycol can therefore be initially passed through a heat exchanger 60 at the top of the regenerator 28 and thence to flash tank 22 and heat exchanger 26 (FIG. 1) which preheats the glycol to a temperature of about 114� F. Other media, e.g. air, could be used to provide heat exchange in the glycol knock-back section 68. The preheated moist glycol then passes to the center part of the regenerator column via the input line 64 (see FIG. 1). After passing downwardly through the regenerator and being appropriately heated, the regenerated glycol is discharged at line 31 and recycled for use in drying the initial gas stream as described in FIG. 1. The gas stream being treated typically comprises a natural gas, but obviously the glycol can be used to dry other gas streams of interest as is known in the art.
Vapors from the middle section of the glycol regenerator 28, which consist mostly of steam, are sent to glycol knock-back section 68. Here the triethylene glycol contained in the steam is condensed and returned to the regenerator bottom. Gases are taken from the top of the glycol knock-back section via line 70 and sent to the bottom of a steam stripper 72, where the steam strips BTEX and other VOCs from the liquid water that is added to the top of steam stripper 72 via line 82. The vapors exiting from the top of steam stripper 72 via line 74 proceed to an air and/or water cooled condenser. Specifically in the embodiment shown, the vapors are first provided to an air-cooled condenser 76. Other media, e.g. moist glycol, could also provide heat exchange in condenser 76. After passing through condenser 76, they are provided to water-cooled condenser 78. From water-cooled condenser 78, the partially condensed vapors go to accumulator 80. Accumulator 80 provides three separate outputs, namely a condensed water stream at 82, vent gas at 84, and condensed organic liquids at 86. Accumulator 80 produces a water product 82, which in a typical operation of drying natural gas contains approximately 1400 ppm organic compounds along with marketable organic liquids 86 which consist mostly of BTEX, and an off-gas product 84 consisting mostly of lighter paraffins and BTEX. The condensed water 82 is then returned to steam stripper 72 where steam from the regenerator 28 strips out most of the VOCs and BTEX. The stripped product water 88 therefore exiting from the bottom of steam stripper 72, can typically contain about 100 ppm BTEX and 75 ppm aliphatic hydrocarbons. The stripped water stream 88 can be subjected to additional treatment in a polishing stage to further lower its content of organics. In FIG. 3 such water 88 is seen to be provided to a polishing air stripper and cooling tower 90. Alternative devices which can be substituted for such instrumentality are a granulated activated carbon adsorption treatment system or a polishing steam stripper. The input stripped water 88 typically containing about 100 ppm BTEX and 75 ppm aliphatic or 28% of the BTEX and 7% of the aliphatic hydrocarbons originally present in the water can be thereby further improved, with the remaining BTEX being removed, thereby producing water of usable quality with extremely low concentrations of BTEX and VOCs. The final polished water 92 is provided via the pump 94.
Most of the BTEX and condensable VOCs in the stripper overhead will exit accumulator 80 either in the gas phase 84 or as a condensed organic BTEX liquid at 86. The split between vapor and liquid is a function of the temperature. For example, at 160� F. about 42% of the C3+ leaves with gas 84; at 90� F. only 21% of the C3+ exits with gas 84. In order to enable maximum recovery of the condensable organics as liquid, the temperature achieved in water cooled condenser 78 should be as low as possible. The relatively pure water from cooling tower 90 may be used as input cooling water 96 for the water cooled condenser 78, i.e. this water is provided as coolant to condenser 78, the return stream from which is shown at 97. This enables condenser 78 to reach a temperature of 90� F. or lower in the summer which further improves BTEX and VOC recovery efficiency. BTEX and VOC removal from the condensed water is essentially unaffected by condenser temperature.
The flue gas 56 from the glycol regenerator heater may be utilized as a source of heat where the polishing stripper 90 takes the form of a steam stripper as above discussed. In such an instance, steam from the polishing steam stripper may be sent to the BTEX steam stripper condensers 76, 78 where the BTEX can be recovered. As shown in FIG. 3, air stripping may be combined with a cooling tower to provide the cooling water 96 for condenser 78.
While it is possible to release vent gas 84 to atmosphere (as at 89), the vent gas 84 from accumulator 80 can be used as a fuel gas for the glycol regenerator heater, i.e. this fuel gas can be provided to input 54. In this manner, a dual function is satisfied, i.e. heat for the regenerator is usefully recovered, while at the same time the organics contained in the vent gas 84 are destroyed. It is also desirable to be able to flare the said vent gas to atmosphere. For the purposes indicated, it is desirable to raise the pressure of the vent gas above atmosphere, preferably to about 3 to 10 psig.
This pressurization may be effected by means of a jet compressor 85. The flash gas 24 from flash tank 22, which was discussed in connection with FIG. 1 constitutes principally light hydrocarbons is used as the motive gas for compressor 85. The mixed flammable gases in line 87, at about 3 to 5 psig may then safely and effectively serve as the fuel gas 51 which is combined with air 53 to provide a heat source for regenerator 28. Similarly the slightly compressed gases may be safely and effectively flared at 83.
Use of the jet compressor 85 for the purposes of compressing the vent gas 84 from accumulator 80 is also applicable to the otherwise prior art system of FIG. 2 (i.e. the system of FIG. 1 which includes the condenser and accumulator of FIG. 2). Again in this context the flash gas 24 may be used (as in FIG. 3) to compress the said vent gas for the same advantages as described in connection with FIG. 3.
The effectiveness of the foregoing system is further illustrated in the data of Table I which sets forth component material balance for a system 50 in accordance with FIG. 3 which is used to treat a 35 MMSCFD gas which includes the components indicated. The numerals at the head of each column correspond to the same bracketed numerals appearing in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 in which they identify the sampled points in system 50. The concentrations of organics in the water streams are given in Table II. The effectiveness of the system in reducing BTEX and aliphatic compounds in the stripped water will be particularly evident by comparing the reflux water to packed column bottoms [12]and the blowdown cool water [14].

In FIG. 4, a simplified system 150 in accordance with the present invention is schematically depicted. Certain portions of system 150 are substantially identical to corresponding elements in FIG. 3 and are correspondingly identified, except for being prefixed by a "1". Thus, glycol regenerator 128 corresponds to regenerator 28, and cooling-tower 190 corresponds to tower 90 in FIG. 3. Regenerator 128 is heated by flash gas 108 proceeding from flash tank 122 via line 124 to input 154 where it is combined with air 153. Other available fuel gases can be used in place of the flash gas. The operation of corresponding components is in accord with the description of FIG. 3. Whereas in the FIG. 3 system, gases from the top of the regenerator 28 are taken via line 70 to a steam stripper, in the present system 150, the steam stripper is eliminated, and such gases, including BTEX and other VOCs are provided directly to cooling condenser means 102, which comprises the in series air-cooled condenser 176 and water-cooled condenser 178. Water, liquid hydrocarbons, and noncondensable vapors from water-cooled condenser 178 proceed to three phase accumulator 180. Accumulator 180 functions as in FIG. 3, except that the non-condensable gases exiting at vent 184 are now discharged directly to atmosphere. These gases are low in VOCs. The condensed water stream 182 instead of being provided to a steam stripper is provided directly to the upper end of cooling tower 190 where it descends in counter current relationship to ascending stripping air entering the tower at 104.
Remarkably, the air stripping at tower 190 is found to be exceedingly effective in removing BTEX and VOCs present in water stream 182. The stripper air carrying small but acceptable quantities of BTEX and VOCs is vented at 106. This air stream can be directly discharged to atmosphere, or can first be used as a coolant for air cooled condenser 176. Part of the stripped water stream 112 from cooling tower 190 is pumped via pump 194 and line 196 back to water-cooled condenser 178 where it serves as a coolant. This is an important consideration in the present invention, in that the present system is seen to generate its own cooled and purified water for use in condenser 178. Particularly in remote field use when water is scarce or unavailable, this enables simple and effective operation of the system. Another portion of the relatively pure water stream 112 can be discharged at 192.
The effectiveness of system 150 can be appreciated from the data of Table III which sets forth material balances where the system 50 (FIG. 3) was used to treat a gas having components such that the stream proceeding in line 70 from the top of regenerator 28 had components as shown at the first column of the Table. The numerals at the head of each column correspond to the same bracketed numerals appearing in FIG. 3, in which they identify the sampled points in system 50. The concentrations of organics in the water stream for the condensed water and stripper bottoms of FIG. 3 are given in Table IV.
VOC emissions from the system 50 are from two sources: the non-condensable gases (NCG) [11] vented at 84, and the cooling tower (CT) emissions vented at [16]. The system 50 data in Tables I and II were calculated with an ASPEN/SP simulator. Data in Tables III and IV are experimental data. It is surprising and unexpected that VOC reductions were so extensive. Emission control was 98.72%. The NCG emissions from vent 84 in the system constitute the major emission source. The emissions from the CT vent are minor. Air stripping at cooling tower 90 increases the CT vent emissions slightly, but not significantly compared to the NCG vent, stream 84. As may be seen from Table IV, the BTEX steam stripper lowers the total VOC (C3+hydrocarbons) level of the stripped water stream fed to the cooling tower from 759 to 340 ppm. This means that without the BTEX stripper, the CT vent emissions would increase from 0.05 to 0.11 tons per year [0.05(758/340)]. This is an emission increase of only 0.06 TPY.
The material balance for the system 150 of FIG. 4 is calculated from the experimental data in Tables III and IV and is shown in Table V. The emission increase as a percent of the inlet VOCs is 0.15 percent. Emission control would drop from 98.72 to 98.57 percent. This decrease in "paper" control efficiency is reasonable on the basis of increased reliability of the equipment and decreased cost. The increased reliability results from the elimination of an entire unit operation, i.e., BTEX steam stripper 72 of FIG. 3. The possibilities for malfunction in the system of FIG. 4 are less than in the system of FIG. 3. As a result, the real emission control is probably the same or perhaps higher.
