摘要:
A subsea intervention system is disclosed comprising a floating vessel and a source of coiled tubing at the floating vessel. The system includes a seabed installation including a wellhead and compliant guide having one end operatively connected to the floating vessel and the second end operatively connected to the seabed installation. The compliant guide provides a conduit between the floating vessel and the wellhead for the coiled tubing. At least one injector is present at the floating vessel for inserting the coiled tubing into the compliant guide, and a carousel is proximate the wellhead which comprises a plurality of chambers with intervention tools in at least two of those chambers. The system may also include a plurality of sensing units that are disposed at spaced intervals along the compliant guide to monitor various aspects of the compliant guide and to transmit that information to a repositioning system. A riser may be used instead of the compliant guide.

The present invention provides a method for producing sucralose from a feed stream including a sucrose-6-acylate in a reaction vehicle. The method includes: (i) reacting the sucrose-6-acylate with a chlorinating agent in order to chlorinate the 4, 1′ and 6′ positions of the sucrose-6-acylate; (ii) quenching the product stream of (i) with an aqueous solution of a base to provide a sucralose-6-acylate and the chloride salt of said base, wherein the concentration of the aqueous solution of the base is sufficiently high such that at least a portion of the chloride salt of the base is formed as a precipitate; (iii) either: deacylating the sucralose-6-acylate by treating the product stream of (ii) with a base and thereafter removing precipitated salt to provide a product stream including sucralose; or: removing precipitated salt from the product stream of (ii) and thereafter deacylating the sucralose-6-acylate by treating with a base to provide a product stream including sucralose; and (iv) isolating sucralose from the product stream of (iii).

An apparatus for extracting energy from fiber introduced as a fuel into a vertically elongated combustion chamber having a suspension burner capable of projecting a flame down the axis of the combustion chamber with a heat collection surface located radially from the flame and below the burner, and an exhaust opening located below the flame and below at least a portion of the heat collection surface, in which the combusted fiber yields a mixture containing hot flue gas and molten ash above the exhaust opening and heat transfers therefrom to the heat collection surface prior to any substantial contact of ash to a surface of the combustion chamber, to yield a mixture containing warm flue gas and non-molten ash, that is thereafter cooled to yield a mixture containing cool flue gas and non-molten ash.

We disclose a method of inverting sucrose, including (i) determining an initial solids concentration of an aqueous sucrose solution (solidsi), an initial bed volume (BVi) of a sucrose inversion resin system, a minimum target inversion percentage (invert %min), a maximum target inversion percentage (invert %max), a target maximum hydroxymethylfuran (HMF) concentration (HMFmax), a minimum target pH (pHmin), or a maximum target pH (pHmax); (ii) contacting the sucrose inversion resin system with the aqueous sucrose solution under conditions of aqueous solution flow rate in BVi/hr (ratep) and aqueous solution temperature in ° C. (temperaturep) to produce an inverted sucrose solution having an inversion percentage (invert %product), an HMF concentration (HMFproduct), and a pH (pHproduct); (iii) observing an instantaneous inversion percentage (invert %inst), an instantaneous HMF concentration (HMFinst), or an instantaneous pH (pHinst) of the inverted sucrose solution; and, if invert %inst invert %max, HMFinst>HMFmax, pHinst pHmax; (iv) changing at least one of the aqueous solution flow rate or the aqueous solution temperature such that invert %min≦invert %product≦invert %max, HMFproduct≦HMFmax, or pHmin≦pHproduct≦pHmax. We also disclose a computing apparatus capable of use in performing a method of inverting sucrose.

Whole grain, such as wheat, barley, rye, and/or rice, can be processed by (a) steeping the grain or at least partially dehulled grain in an aqueous liquid to produce softened grain, (b) milling the softened grain to produce milled grain, (c) liquefying the milled grain by contacting it with amylase and heating it to a temperature of at least about 50° C., producing a liquefied material, (d) at least partially saccharifying the liquefied material by contacting it with amyloglucosidase at a temperature of at least about 50° C., producing a first saccharified material, and (e) separating fiber and germ from the first saccharified material, producing a screened material that is substantially free of fiber and wheat germ. The process also includes the steps of (f) further saccharifying the screened material by contacting it with amyloglucosidase at a temperature of at least about 50° C., producing a second saccharified material, (g) membrane filtering the second saccharified material, producing a permeate that comprises primarily dextrose and other soluble components and a retentate that comprises insoluble protein, and (h) purifying the permeate by chromatographic separation, producing a purified dextrose stream. The chromatographic separation can also produce a raffinate, and the process can further include the steps of (i) combining the retentate from the membrane filtration and the raffinate from the chromatographic separation to form a fermentation medium, (j) fermenting the fermentation medium aerobically with a microorganism, (k) separating a protein product that comprises insoluble protein and microorganism from the medium, and (l) drying the protein product.
摘要:
A method and system of subsea intervention comprises lowering one or more assemblies of intervention equipment into the sea. Underwater marine units (such as remote operated vehicles or small submarines) may be employed to connect the assemblies to each other and to the subsea wellhead equipment. The subsea wellhead equipment includes a carrier line spool (e.g., coiled tubing spool, wireline spool, slickline spool) and equipment to inject a carrier line from the carrier line spool into the subsea well. The carrier line spool can be located underwater, such as on the sea floor or positioned above the subsea wellhead equipment.
