SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISINFECTION OF A PLUMBING SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH LIQUID WASTE
A thermal disinfection system, and related of method of use and manufacture, is implemented with a liquid-carrying conduit associated with a given plumbing system applicable with a given environment. The thermal disinfection system may include a heating device configured for thermal contact with at least a portion of the liquid-carrying conduit, thereby defining a thermal contact region of the liquid-carrying conduit. Additionally, a thermal insulating layer may disposed on the heating device. The heating device may be configured to heat (or heat and dry) a lumen defined by the liquid-carrying conduit along the thermal contact region (in whole or in part) to a specified temperature to prevent (e.g., suppress) or inhibit (e.g., reduce) microbial activity from advancing through the lumen defined by the liquid-carrying conduit.
Method and a system for controlling the temperature of a fluid in an unbonded flexible pipe
The present invention relates to a method and a system comprising a floating unit for processing, handling or storing a fluid and at least one unbonded flexible pipe for transporting said fluid to the floating unit. The unbonded flexible pipe comprises an electric heating system, and the temperature of the fluid in the unbonded flexible pipe is measured and the measured temperature is used to control the electrical input to the electric heating system in the unbonded flexible pipe.

Preventing hydrate formation in a flowline
A water content sensor is positioned within a flowline downstream of a well-choke. The water content sensor is configured to determine a water content percentage of a production fluid flowing through the flowline. A temperature sensor is positioned downstream of the well-choke. The temperature sensor is configured to determine a temperature of the production fluid flowing through the flowline. A heating jacket surroundings at least a portion of the flowline. The heating-jacket is configured to transfer heat into the flowline. A controller is configured to receive a signal from each of the water content sensor and the temperature sensor, and control the heating jacket in response to a signal from each of the water content sensor and the temperature sensor.

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR STERILE CONNECTIONS OR CONDUITS
Apparatus and methods for establishing sterile or disinfected/decontaminated connections or conduits between separate fluid path sub-assemblies. Each section of the fluid path to be connected include one or multiple heatable or heating surfaces, and a sterile volume or chamber defined by at least one of the heatable or heating surfaces. Prior to establishing a sterile access or connection between separate sections of a fluid path, the heatable or heating surfaces are sterilized or disinfected/decontaminated by means of heat. Such means may include ohmic resistive heating, inductive heating, and/or self-heating through an exothermic reaction. All surfaces establishing the connection or conduit are therefore sterile or disinfected/decontaminated, and a sterile connection or conduit is established.
