An integrated mud gas separator skid includes a frame and a mud gas separator. The integrated mud gas separator skid may include one or more fluid conduits for use with a drilling rig, including an integrated vent line, a high pressure line, a low pressure line, a standpipe manifold, a rig water supply line, a diesel line, an air line, and a rig water return line. The integrated mud gas separator skid may be mechanically coupled to a drilling rig. The integrated mud gas separator skid may need only one crane lift to be mechanically coupled to the drilling rig.

A liquid is made to flow into a filter case from a tangential direction at any point on a side surface of the filter case and produces a swirling flow. Bubbles collected in a center of the swirling flow are retained by a retainer plate, thereby removing the bubbles from the liquid. A filter element filters the liquid from which the bubbles were removed.

Multiple embodiments of medical filters are described. For example, this document describes extracorporeal blood filters that have a gradient of filter pore sizes at different portions of the filter element. The gradient of filter pore sizes may enhance the filter's potential for capturing and removing gaseous bubbles that may be present in the blood or other fluid that is flowing through the filter.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for producing ultrapure water of extremely high purity that sufficiently meets the requirement for its quality at low production cost with reduced footprint. The apparatus for producing ultrapure water includes a pretreatment system, a primary water purification system, and a subsystem, wherein the primary water purification system includes a high-pressure reverse osmotic membrane separation unit, a degassing unit, an ultraviolet oxidation unit, and an ion-exchange unit in this order.

A system and methodology for the preservation of red blood cells is described in which red blood cells are oxygen or oxygen and carbon dioxide depleted, treated and are stored in an anaerobic environment to optimize preparation for transfusion. More particularly, a system and method for extended storage of red blood cells from collection to transfusion that optimizes red blood cells prior to transfusion is described.

An apparatus for separating liquid and gas comprises a first pipe having a gas outlet at an upper first portion thereof and a liquid outlet at a lower second portion thereof. The apparatus further comprises a second pipe extending at least partly along the first pipe and comprising an inlet for a mix of liquid and gas. A plurality of holes fluidically connects an interior of the second pipe to the interior of the first pipe between the first portion and the second portion of the outer pipe.

A separation nipple to separate a liquid from a vent inlet line into a filler pipe of a motor vehicle. The separation nipple has an inlet for connection to the vent inlet line, an outlet for connection to a vent outlet line, an opening for connection to an interior of the filler pipe, and a flap to close the opening. The flap has a main flap surface and a reflector flap surface which slopes relative to the main flap surface. The reflector flap surface is configured to form a reflector with the main flap surface when the flap is in an open position, the reflector being configured to deflect liquid passing through the opening in a direction of an end of the tank of the filler pipe. The opening is configured for closing by the main flap surface when the flap is in a closed position.

A bubble removing system and a bubble removing method are provided. The bubble removing system comprises a main bubble removing apparatus which comprises a first enclosed container, a first fluid lead-in pipe, a first fluid lead-out pipe, and a bubble collecting member. The cross section of the inner cavity of the first enclosed container is circular, and the first enclosed container is used for accommodating a fluid substance. The first fluid lead-in pipe passes through a sidewall of the first enclosed container, is tangent to the inner cavity wall of the first enclosed container, and is disposed at the upper part of the first enclosed container. The first fluid lead-out pipe passes through the sidewall of the first enclosed container and is disposed at the lower part of the first enclosed container.

Disclosed is an ion exchange membrane electrolytic cell, comprising an anode chamber and a cathode chamber; a gas-liquid separation chamber is arranged in the anode chamber and/or the cathode chamber; the gas-liquid separation chamber is partially located inside the anode chamber and/or the cathode chamber; a first portion of the gas-liquid separation chamber, which is configured to accommodate liquid, is arranged inside the anode chamber and/or the cathode chamber; and a second portion of the gas-liquid separation chamber, which is configured to accommodate gas, is disposed outside of the anode chamber and/or the cathode chamber. The ion exchange membrane electrolytic cell is provided with the gas-liquid separation chamber partially located inside the anode chamber and/or the cathode chamber, thereby improving the yield of the ion exchange membrane electrolytic cell. On the other hand, the products of electrolysis can be drained rapidly.

A gaseous species can be separated from an aqueous donor mixture and absorbed in an aqueous recipient mixture using a membrane separation apparatus while maintaining a large temperature difference (e.g. greater than 30° C.) between the two aqueous mixtures. A composite membrane is employed which comprises a non-porous membrane adjacent a porous membrane. The non-porous membrane is permeable to the gaseous species. The porous membrane has a porosity greater than 50% and is hydrophobic. In one embodiment, the composite membrane is oriented such that the porous membrane faces the aqueous recipient mixture and is impermeable thereto at the recipient mixture pressure. The invention is particularly suitable for separating chlorine dioxide from chlorine dioxide reaction liquor and absorbing in chilled water.
