摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collecting, storing, separating, and disposing of waste material from an oil and gas well site in order to enhance payload efficiency. An embodiment of a method, for example, may include introducing a waste material into an enhanced-payload mobile vessel positioned at the oil and gas well site, the waste material selected to include one or more of a sludge waste material, a solids-laden wastewater material, and a dry waste material. The method may further include transporting the waste material when positioned in the enhanced-payload mobile vessel along roadways to an off-site waste management facility. Additionally, the method may include dumping the waste material from the enhanced-payload mobile vessel by a site-based lifting mechanism into a receiving vessel at the off-site waste management facility thereby to dispose of the waste material at a reduced transportation cost.

The invention relates to an apparatus for separating solids from a liquid, comprising at least one reservoir or basin (12) for receiving solid-loaded liquid and having at least one inflow (1, 27, 101) and/or outflow (2, 111); and at least one separation device (9, 16, 25, 55, 56, 62, 63, 108) arranged in the reservoir or basin (12) for the solids, wherein the separation device has at least one separation surface, which is at least adjustable between a separation position (β) and a cleaning position (α). According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control device (57, 58; 64, 66; 106) coupled or connected to the separation device (9, 16, 25, 55, 56, 62, 63, 108) and being operable by the liquid supplied into the reservoir or the basin (12), by means of which the position of the at least one separation surface can be changed or varied. Further a separation device (9) having at least one separation surface is provided, which comprises a surface coating and/or an at least partially structured surface. An arrangement includes such an arrangement or device in combination with at least one further solid separation device.

A method of separating red blood cells within a volume of blood provides rapid separation of the red blood cells to permit efficient analysis of the white blood cells. First, a container is filled with the volume of blood while the container is in a substantially vertical position. The container has an open top portion, a side wall, and a closed bottom portion. The volume of blood in the container defines a first surface region having a particular spatial relationship to the side wall. Then, the container is moved to a first position, away from the substantially vertical position. The container is maintained at the first position for at least a first predetermined time such that red blood cells within the volume of blood settle substantially to the side wall of the container. The cross sectional area of the container at the first surface region of the volume of blood is such that the particular spatial relationship is maintained between the first surface region and the side wall. Then, the container is moved to a second position substantially without agitating the volume of blood contained therein (the second position is closer to the substantially vertical position than is the first position) and the container is maintained at the second position for at least a second predetermined time so that the red blood cells settled substantially to the side wall of the container slide to the closed bottom portion of the container.

A chip discharge device of a machine tool includes a coolant tank storing coolant which is supplied to and dropped from a machining point, and a chip conveyor discharging chips which are generated at and dropped from the machining point, to an outside of the machine tool. A bottom wall of the coolant tank is inclined in a chip discharge side by mounting the coolant tank to the bed.

The present disclosure provides a backflow collection system and a method for reclaiming backflow from a wellbore. The backflow collection system, in one embodiment, includes a collection vessel having an upper section and a lower section, the collection vessel having a side opening configured to receive backflow from an oil/gas well, as well as a discharge port proximate an upper end of the upper section configured to discharge pressurized gas from the collection vessel. The backflow collection system, in this embodiment, further includes an elevated auger positioned in relation to the collection vessel and configured to receive solid and liquid matter from a bottom opening in the lower section of the collection vessel, the collection vessel designed such that when fluid is contained therein it acts as a liquid/gas seal to prevent the pressurized gas from exiting through the bottom opening in the lower section of the collection vessel.

An apparatus for dewatering dredge spoils includes a floating barge having a planar upper surface or deck. One end of the barge, such as the stern, is partially flooded or otherwise ballasted so that the deck slopes downwardly from the bow toward the stem. Dredge spoils removed from a waterway are deposited onto the bow where they flow down toward the stem. A plurality of concrete blocks on the deck form an attenuator that, in turn, defines one or more settling ponds on the surface of the barge. A weir across the stem of the barge forms an additional settling pond at the rear of the barge. Solids suspended in the water removed from the waterway settle out onto the deck when the dredge spoils are deposited onto the bow. Remaining solids suspended in the water deposit onto the deck as the water flows through the settling ponds. The relatively clear water that remains then flows back into the waterway off the stem of the sloped barge after passing through the settling ponds. Because the apparatus and method use materials and equipment, such as the barge and blocks, that are already likely to be on hand, the method and apparatus are particularly economical and easy to implement.

A device for separating constituents of a fluid mixture includes an elongate vessel oriented at an acute angle to horizontal. The vessel is operable to receive the fluid mixture and direct the fluid mixture to flow in a convection cell spanning substantially a length of the vessel. The convection cell is formed by gravitational forces acting on the fluid mixture and is operable to deposit a heavy constituent of the fluid mixture about a lower end of the vessel and a light constituent of the fluid mixture about an upper end of the vessel.

The present invention provides an improved solids removal and concentrating unit. The solids removal and concentrating unit comprises a tank, an inlet line, an outlet line, and a sludge removal line communicating with the tank. The solids removal unit further has a plurality of linear baffles positioned in the tank forming a baffle row, with the baffles being positioned in a substantially vertical orientation. Finally, the tank further has a plurality of baffle rows. The baffles operate to reduce the velocity of a carrier liquid behind the baffles. The baffles also operate to form slight vortexes in the carrier liquid behind the baffles and thereby facilitate the downward movement of solids.

A blood washing device is employed for recovering shed blood or other sources of blood and preparing packed red cells therefrom. The device employs a gravity sedimentation procedure but achieves a shortened washing period by using an aggregating reagent for aggregating or agglomerating the red cells so as to increase their sedimentation velocity during the gravity sedimentation. The wash period is further shortened by employing a vessel with a flat shallow configuration for shortening the sedimentation path length of the aggregated red cells. A non-turbulant removal of the resultant broad shallow layer of sedimented red cells is achieved by carefully tilting the vessel after the sedimentation step so as to induce the sedimented red cells to slide or shift into a funnel configuration within the vessel. After the red cells have shifted into a funnel configuration, they are allowed to stand in that configuration so as undergo further concentration. As the red cells become packed, an elutriation of the intercellular fluids occurs. The resultant packed red cells are then carefully drained from the bottom of the funnel configuration for reinfusion into the patient. The period of the wash cycle is sufficiently short that a patient's shed blood can often be recovered during an operation and then washed and reinfused into the same patient during the same operation or shortly thereafter. Autologous transfusions are useful in cases where there is a shortage of blood or where the safety of donor blood is in question.
