Abstract:
A static gas separator interposed between an electric submersible pump and a downhole motor to separate entrained gas from production fluid in a subterranean well. The gas separator includes an elongate cylindrical mandrel concentrically surrounded an outer static filter sleeve. A base member is attached at a lower end of the gas separator and includes a flange for connection with a mating flange on the pump. The upper end of the gas separator includes a head member attached thereto and includes a flange for connection with a mating flange on the motor. The gas separator includes a plurality of radially aligned, axial flow intakes in fluid communication with a hollow interior of the head member and a separating annulus formed between the outer static filter sleeve and the mandrel. The gas separator may also include radially protruding helical fins or vanes that impart a centrifugal force or vortex to the production well fluid flowing through the annulus.
Abstract:
Improvements for hydronic air separators (AS) enable removal of micro bubbles of the air and micro particles of dirt. Adding coalescing media (CM) to existing and new tangential and in-line AS helps remove damaging micro air bubbles and small dirt particles from the water by surface adhesion. Small air bubbles and dirt in the water stick to the media surface to become larger bubbles and clumps of dirt. Larger air bubbles float up out of the water to be released though an air release valve. Larger dirt clumps fall off the CM and land at the bottom of the AS tank to be expelled via a drain valve. Water can be filtrated leaving the top of a separator tank.
Abstract:
Eine Vorrichtung zur Entgasung einer Flüssigkeit aus einem flüssigkeitsführenden Heizungs- oder Kühlkreislauf oder einer Nachspeiseleitung zum Heizungs- oder Kühlkreislauf umfasst eine Entgasungseinrichtung (1) zur Entfernung von Gas aus einer Flüssigkeit durch abwechselnde Unterdruck- und Überdruckerzeugung. Die Entgasungseinrichtung (1) umfasst einen Entgasungsbehälter (11), eine Zuleitung (12) zum Zuführen der Flüssigkeit zum Entgasungsbehälter (11), eine Ablaufleitung (4) zum Abführen der Flüssigkeit vom Entgasungsbehälter (11), welche Ablaufleitung (4) eine Pumpe (41) aufweist und mit dem Heizungs- oder Kühlkreislauf verbindbar ist, und eine Entgasungsventileinheit (13). Die Entgasungsventileinheit (13) ermöglicht das Ausscheiden von Gas aus dem Entgasungsbehälter (11), verhindert jedoch das Hindurchströmen der Flüssigkeit aus dem Entgasungsbehälter (11) sowie den Rückfluss von Gas bei Unterdruck im Entgasungsbehälter (11). Die Vorrichtung umfasst zudem einen Hydrozyklon (2) zur Erzeugung einer Wirbelströmung der Flüssigkeit, welche entgast werden soll, wobei der Hydrozyklon (2) einerseits mit der Entgasungseinrichtung (1) und andererseits mit einer Speiseleitung (21) zum Zuführen der Flüssigkeit verbunden ist. Die Speiseleitung (21) ist mit dem Heizungs- oder Kühlkreislauf oder mit der Nachspeiseleitung (8) verbindbar.

Abstract:
An active rotating separator is disclosed, comprising a separator drum (2,23) arranged to receive multiphase fluid via an upstream end and to deliver separated fluid phases from a downstream end of the drum. An electric motor (8) is installed in the flow through the drum, the motor operable to generate rotation in the fluid flow that passes through the drum, the motor comprising an open rotor (2, 30) permitting through-flow of fluid through the motor.
Abstract:
The gas compression method/system restricts flow of emulsified liquid-gas mixture through many substantially radial capillary tube-passages in a rotating disk by either one-way valves, narrowing the passages, hydraulic impedance and/or reinforcement of coriolis forces in terminal end tail segments of the capillary passages. Compressed gas is. released from peripherally collected compressed gas-liquid emulsion (beyortd the terminal ends of the tubes) in a arcuate peripheral disc space when the compressed gas bubbles emerge from the peripherally collected emulsion, A compressed gas drain draws off gas from the peripheral space. Liquid drain draws off liquid from the space. In different embodiments, radial outboard flow through the capillaries is effected by various one-way valves which may be a single valve in the passage or multiple valves. CorioHs force in tail segments is enhanced by angular displacement in the direction of rotation. Valves may be used in combination with such tail-end segments.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and/or apparatuses (5) for treating wastewater produced at a thermoelectric power plant, other industrial plants, and/or other industrial sources are disclosed. The wastewater (16) is directed through a wastewater concentrator (5) including a direct contact adiabatic concentration system. A stream of hot feed gases is directed (104) through the wastewater concentrator. The wastewater concentrator mixes the hot feed gases directly with the wastewater and evaporates water vapor from the wastewater. The wastewater concentrator separates (A) the water vapor from remaining concentrated wastewater. A contained air-water interface liquid evaporator may be arranged to pre-process the wastewater before being treated by the wastewater concentrator.
