A fluid moving system and apparatus for an electric submersible pump (ESP) is described. A fluid moving system includes a gas separator between an electric submersible pump and an ESP motor, the gas separator including a separation chamber including an impeller and a diffuser, the impeller including a plurality of regressively pitched main vanes interspersed between a plurality of mixer vanes, each of the plurality of main and mixer vanes extending along the hub with a positive slope and a concave top face, and a diffuser, the diffuser including blades extending along a diffuser body in a sloped direction substantially opposite the slope of the impeller main vanes, the blades having a concave top face and a regressive pitch that mirrors the pitch of the impeller main vanes, wherein the impeller vanes and diffuser blades serve to homogenize the well fluid while facilitating downstream movement.

An integrated system is disclosed to handle production of multiphase fluid consisting of oil, gas and water. The production stream is first separated into two streams: a liquid dominated stream (GVF<5% for example) and a gas dominated stream (GVF>95% for example). The separation can be done through shrouds, cylindrical cyclonic, gravity, in-line or the like separation techniques. The two streams are then routed separately to pumps which pump dissimilar fluids, such as a liquid pump and a gas compressor, and subsequently recombined. Both pumps are driven by a single motor shaft which includes an internal passageway associated with one of the pumps for reception of the fluid from the other pump, thereby providing better cooling and greater overall efficiency of all systems associated therewith. A method for providing artificial lift or pressure boosting of multiphase fluid is also disclosed.

A multiphase pump for conveying a multiphase process fluid from a low pressure side to a high pressure side includes an outer housing, a casing, the casing having a pump inlet and a pump outlet for the process fluid, and a pump rotor capable of rotating about an axial direction arranged within the casing, and configured to convey the process fluid from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. The casing includes a plurality of stage segments, and the plurality of stage segments include an individual stage-segment, a low pressure segment arranged at the pump inlet and a high pressure segment arranged at the pump outlet, the individual stage-segment arranged between the high pressure segment and the low pressure segment, and the plurality of stage segments being held together by a sealing support structure, the casing being arranged within the outer housing.

A compressor includes a case, a driving motor including a stator mounted inside the case and a rotor disposed radially inward of the stator and rotatable, a centrifugation space defined inside the case by one side of the driving motor and the case, a discharge pipe passing through the case and defining a refrigerant inlet hole, a rotation shaft coupled to the rotor to rotate, a compressing portion defined at the other side of the driving motor, where refrigerant is compressed by rotation of the rotation shaft, and a rotating member disposed to spread a rotary power of the rotor to the centrifugation space, thereby providing a centrifugal force to refrigerant and oil. The rotating member is disposed at one side of the rotor to rotate integrally with the rotor.

A flow conditioning device for conditioning a wet gas stream having a plurality of liquid droplets and a gas flow is presented. The flow conditioning device includes a first segment including a first convergent section configured to break the plurality of liquid droplets from a first size to a second size. Further, the flow conditioning device includes a second segment coupled to the first segment and including a second convergent section configured to break the plurality of liquid droplets from the second size to a third size.

An air flow assembly, such as a fan assembly, and associated methods are shown that may include one or more media dispensing nozzles. Examples of assemblies and methods are shown that include nozzles located within hollow vanes. Other examples of fan assemblies and methods are shown that create multiple cross sectional vortices that may be useful to concentrate a dispersed media.
