    Abstract: An ammonia stripper (32) and method for stripping ammonia from ammonia-containing water is described, comprising an ammonia-containing water inlet (56), a steam inlet (70), and a forced air inlet (82), and an ammonia-containing gas outlet (36) and a wastewater outlet (72). The steam and air contact the ammonia-containing water in counter-flow to release ammonia from the ammonia-containing water. The ammonia stripper further comprises a steam and air mixing duct (200) shaped to create turbulence in the steam and air flow to promote mixing of the steam and air flow prior to contacting the ammonia-containing water. Also described is an ammonia stripper and method comprising a precipitation unit for precipitating solids from the ammonia-containing water prior to the inlet, and an ammonia stripper and method comprising a steam flash vessel for generating steam from the wastewater produced by the ammonia stripper for recycling into the ammonia stripper. Further described are thermal destructors for destroying ammonia in ammonia-containing gas from an ammonia stripper; and a method of removing ammonia from ammonia-containing gas wherein ammonia-containing gas is drawn from the ammonia-containing gas outlet and returned into the ammonia stripper to mix with the forced air entering the ammonia stripper.

    Abstract: A shale shaker includes a basket having a front, solids discharge end and a rear, feed end spaced apart by opposed first and second sides. The basket includes a lower, first, screen deck and an upper, second, screen deck directly above the first screen deck. The screening surfaces of the screen decks are spaced apart, by a vertical spacing of from 20 mm to 250 mm. There is a cavity above the feed receiving end of the first screen deck, in direct fluid communication with the space between the screening surfaces of the first and second screen decks ( ) that only receives feed that has passed through the upper, second, screen deck. The cavity extends to higher than the extreme end of the screening surface of the second screen deck, at its feed receiving end.

    Abstract: A process and equipment for extracting and disposing of sour reservoir components initially contained in natural hydrocarbons. The stream of natural hydrocarbons extracted from a reservoir is initially subjected to an optional gas/liquid separation. The gaseous hydrocarbons are then scrubbed with a liquid absorbent to dissolve sour reservoir components such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide and thereby form a solution. The liquid absorbent may be water that is preferably sufficiently free of oxygen and solids to be of a quality suitable for re-injection. The solution is pumped back into a well. The well may be the reservoir that produced the hydrocarbons, or adjacent geological formations, with the re-injected sour water being employed for production stimulation. Alternatively, the well may be a depleted reservoir. The scrubber may be a multiple-stage packed column or tray column that preferably allows for condensate skimming.
