Modular pump and pumping system including same
A pump cartridge comprising an external housing including a lateral wall, a first fin extending from a first side of the lateral wall, and a second fin extending from a second side of the lateral wall. The second side of the lateral wall may be opposite the first side of the lateral wall, such that the fins are on opposite sides of the lateral wall. The pump cartridge may be part of a pumping system further comprised of a chassis comprising a pump basin including an interior side wall, a first tab extending inwardly from the interior side wall, and a second tab extending inwardly from the interior side wall and opposed to the first tab. The first fin of the cartridge is reversibly engageable with the first tab of the chassis and the second fin of the cartridge is reversibly engageable with the second tab of the chassis.
SUBSEA ELECTRIC FLUID PROCESSING MACHINE
A subsea fluid processing system includes an electric motor that rotates a shaft on which impellers are fixedly mounted. Diffusors are static and fixed to the pump housing. The electric motor includes a rotor surrounding the shaft and a stator that is filled with a dielectric stator fluid. The stator is sealed or “canned.” The inner surface of the stator which faces the rotor is canned with a canning non-metallic material. The motor, as well as bearings for the rotating shaft are lubricated and cooled with a fluid that in some cases is taken from the process fluid and some alternative source. Alternative sources include: MEG, methanol, treated seawater and untreated seawater.

Household submersible pump
The utility model relates to a household submersible pump, which comprises a pump base, a pump body and a signal light assembly, wherein the pump base is provided with a water outlet, a water inlet and a first filter screen; the pump body has an inner housing having an inner electrical chamber equipped with a circuit board therein and a front mount, and an outer housing having a front guiding seat; the signal light assembly comprises a signal light connected to the circuit board and a light guiding column with a waterproof seal ring embedded therein; the light guiding column is able to be rotated from a first state in which it can be inserted into the front mount through the front guiding seat to a second state in which it is locked in the front mount, and is set to be able to export the light emitted from the signal light to the outside of the outer housing. The utility model not only achieves an outward propagation of light to indicate the status of the pump but also achieves an IPX8 level waterproof.
Transparent sump pump tank cover
A transparent sump pump tank cover configured to seal overtop a sump pump tank, hole, pit, or reservoir includes a transparent material making up the body of the cover. A pair of apertures are disposed on the cover. The pair of apertures extended through the cover and are configured to receive pipes therethrough. A third aperture is disposed on the cover. The third aperture extends through the cover and configured to receive electrical cords therethrough. A fourth aperture may be disposed on the cover. The fourth aperture extends through the cover and is configured to receive a vacuum hose for removing fluid from the sump pump tank, hole, pit, or reservoir. The transparent sump pump tank cover allows individuals to visually inspect the sump pump system for faults and easily remove fluid for further inspection without removing the cover.
Gas lock removal method for electrical submersible pumps
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a system for removing gas locking in a pump. The method includes setting the pump into a gas interference condition based on a variable speed drive driving a pump at a first frequency and a choke valve set at a first restriction value and adjusting the variable speed drive to a second frequency and the choke valve to a second restriction value such that the adjustment produces a backpressure that lets free gas get dissolved in a fluid phase and keeps fluids drawn by the pump at a single-phase flow based on pressure-volume-temperature characteristics of the fluids.
Hybrid magnetic radial bearing in an electric submersible pump (ESP) assembly
An electric submersible pump (ESP) assembly. The ESP assembly comprises an electric motor, a centrifugal pump, and a hybrid magnetic radial bearing, wherein the hybrid magnetic radial bearing is disposed inside the electric motor or disposed inside the centrifugal pump.
Fuel Compositions From Light Tight Oils And High Sulfur Fuel Oils
Methods are provided to prepare a low sulfur fuel from hydrocarbon sources, such as light tight oil and high sulfur fuel oil, often less desired by conventional refiners, who split crude into a wide range of differing products and may prefer presence of wide ranges (C3 or C5 to C20 or higher) of hydrocarbons. These fuels can be produced by separating feeds into untreated and treated streams, and then recombining them. Such fuels can also be formulated by combinations of light, middle and heavy range constituents in a selected manner as claimed. Not only low in sulfur, the fuels of this invention are also low in nitrogen and essentially metals free. Fuel use applications include on-board large marine transport vessels but also on-shore for large land based combustion gas turbines, boilers, fired heaters and transport vehicles and trains.
