Systems and methods include a system for processing health information for multiphase flow meters (MPFMs) of different types and at one or more different locations. Multiphase flow meter (MPFM) readings of different MPFM types are received in real-time from MPFMs at different locations. For each MPFM, an MPFM health rule that corresponds to the MPFM readings is determined using the MPFM readings and logic of MPFM health rules. A recommendation is determined for each MPFM based on the MPFM health rule. A health status and an alarm priority are determined for each MPFM using the MPFM readings and the logic of MPFM health rules. A dashboard is presented to a user that includes, for each MPFM, the MPFM readings, the recommendation, the health status, and the alarm priority.

A method can include detecting instability of multiphase fluid flow in a multiphase fluid production system using sensor measurements from the multiphase fluid production system; and, responsive to the detection of instability, increasing gas injection into the multiphase fluid production system until a variation metric of the sensor measurements decreases to a level indicative of stable multiphase fluid flow in the multiphase fluid production system.

Described herein are methods and devices for treating water, wastewater, and organic wastes. The methods and devices are mixed by using hydraulic surge mixers. This surge mixer is driven by gas and can provide occasional surges of water using large bubbles which are able to move great volume of liquid while minimizing dissolved oxygen transfer to the surrounding liquid. Use of the devices and processes herein provides a simple, eloquent approach to water and wastewater treatment with less operation and maintenance costs than conventional devices and/or processes. The same surge lifting device can also be installed in other reactors to mix the tank content and enhance reaction with reduced energy use and maintenance needs.

An underwater pipe including a metal reinforcing layer around an inner polymeric sealing sheath which may be in contact with hydrocarbons. The inner polymeric sealing sheath includes a polypropylene block copolymer or a mixture of polypropylene block copolymers, wherein the polypropylene block copolymer or the mixture has a density greater than 0.900 g/cm3, and a melt index measured at 230 C. under a mass of 2.16 kg of less than 10 g/10 minutes, its preparation method and its use for the transport of hydrocarbons. Such a sheath may be used in contact with hydrocarbons at high temperature.

A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include a control system that can adjust the volume of fluid infused into the peritoneal cavity to prevent the intraperitoneal fluid volume from exceeding a pre-determined amount. The control system can adjust by adding one or more therapy cycles, allowing for fill volumes during each cycle to be reduced. The control system may continue to allow the fluid to drain from the peritoneal cavity as completely as possible before starting the next therapy cycle. The control system may also adjust the dwell time of fluid within the peritoneal cavity during therapy cycles in order to complete a therapy within a scheduled time period. The cycler may also be configured to have a heater control system that monitors both the temperature of a heating tray and the temperature of a bag of dialysis fluid in order to bring the temperature of the dialysis fluid rapidly to a specified temperature, with minimal temperature overshoot.

A fluid flow meter system for monitoring fluid flow through a lumen includes a first ultrasonic transducer configured to transmit one or more versions of a transmit (TX) signal through a fluid flowing within the lumen, and a second ultrasonic transducer configured to receive one or more respective receive (RX) signals. The fluid flow meter system includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to sample, at a first frequency, the one or more RX ultrasonic signals and a processor configured to generate a fine resolution signal based on the one or more RX ultrasonic signals. The fine resolution signal is associated with a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate. The processor is also configured to compute a cross-correlation signal indicative of cross-correlation between the fine resolution signal and a waveform and determine an estimated fluid flow parameter based on the computed cross-correlation signal.

A conduit, particularly flexible conduit comprises an inner tubular housing, at least one reinforcing layer at least partially disposed around the inner housing, an outer protective sheath at least partially disposed around the at least one reinforcing layer, and optionally a thermally insulating layer disposed between the at least one reinforcing layer and the outer protective sheath. At least one of the outer protective sheath and the thermally insulating layer comprises a thermoplastic vulcanizate composition.
