    Abstract: A system for utilizing excess heat during a subsea field operation can include a subsea manifold configured to transfer a subterranean resource to a pipeline located subsea, where the subterranean resource radiates the excess heat after being transferred out of the subsea manifold. The system can also include a subsea power generation system that receives the excess heat from the subterranean resource as the subterranean resource is transferred from the subsea manifold to the pipeline, where subsea power generation system uses the excess heat to generate electrical power.

    Abstract: Properties of liquid flowing through a Venturi tube, operating characteristics of the Venturi tube, geometry of the Venturi tube, and correlation between Reynolds number and coefficient of discharge for the Venturi tube are used to determine a flow rate of liquid or liquid/liquid mixture in the Venturi tube. Determination of the Reynolds number is reiterated to increase the accuracy of the liquid flow rate measurement in the Venturi tube. The liquid flow rate in the Venturi tube is monitored to control the liquid flow.

    Abstract: A process involves sequentially treating a plurality of lipid feedstocks comprising a set of lipid feedstocks each having a chloride content of at least about 2 ppm with a metal oxide catalyst on an oxide support under first treating conditions to produce respective treated streams of the set of lipid feedstocks having a chloride content less than 1 ppm until a given one of the respective treated streams has a chloride content greater than 1 ppm and the metal oxide catalyst is converted to a spent metal oxide catalyst, converting the spent metal oxide catalyst to a rejuvenated metal oxide catalyst, and treating one or more additional lipid feedstocks each having a chloride content of at least about 2 ppm with the rejuvenated metal oxide catalyst under second treating conditions to produce one or more respective treated streams each having a chloride content less than 1 ppm.
