A device for medium separation, in particular for separation of gases, such as air, from a fluid, such as oil, has a separating device (22) accommodated in a housing (1). When the medium is received via an inlet point (24) of the housing (1), this medium is rotated for the separation. The housing (1) has at least one outlet point (26) for gas and at least one outlet point (16) for fluid, which outlet points are separated from one another. A filter device (40) is in the housing for the separation of particulate contamination and is arranged after the separating device (22) in the direction of flow of the fluid.

The invention provides a device and system for decomposing and oxidizing of gaseous pollutants. A novel reaction portion reduces particle formation in fluids during treatment, thereby improving the defect of particle accumulation in a reaction portion. Also, the system includes the device, wherein a modular design enables the system to have the advantage of easy repair and maintenance.

A variable oil field fluid treatment system and method of use which utilizes a pump, a desanding hydrocyclone, and/or a non-consumable or consumable mechanical solids filter, a membrane filtration unit, a pump, a granular carbon filter, and/or combinations therein.

A sand handling system having, for example, one to three sand separators are configured to be operatively connected to a well and an inlet of a common dumping vessel. Advantageously, the dumping vessel has a sensor to measure an amount of sand in the dumping vessel and provide a signal to a programmable controller which is arranged to dump the dumping vessel when a specified amount of sand is in the dumping vessel. The system automates the sand handling process and also measures and records data associated with a number of flowback parameters. The data can then be used in well design to improve oil and/or gas production, lessen sand production, reduce well damage and/or equipment corrosion due to, for example, sand.

A filtration system is provided that includes a gearbox positioned in a geared turbofan engine. The system further includes an auxiliary lubrication system positioned in the geared turbofan engine and in fluid communication with the gearbox. The auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary pump in fluid communication with the auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary return line extending between the gearbox and the auxiliary reservoir, the auxiliary return line configured to transport a lubricant from the gearbox to the auxiliary reservoir, and an auxiliary supply line extending between the auxiliary pump and the gearbox, the auxiliary supply line configured to transport the lubricant from the auxiliary pump to the gearbox. The system further includes a non-removable filter positioned in the auxiliary lubrication system. The non-removable filter is configured to prevent or limit debris that is suspended in the lubricant from flowing into the gearbox and/or the auxiliary pump.

A tank system and methods of use for extracting sand and particulates from effluents, fluids, liquids, and muds are disclosed. The system uses pressure and cyclonic fluid dynamic based methods to extract, separate, weigh, and dump sand and particulates. The system comprises sand or particulate filtration or collection baskets that are hydraulically operated and scales that weigh the sand after separation from the fluidic component, prior to dumping. After separating the sands, the fluid is collected in a reservoir tank where it can be transported or removed from the site or otherwise disposed of as a liquid product.

A method for processing bitumen froth comprised of bitumen, water containing chlorides and solids is provided for producing a final diluted bitumen product having reduced chlorides. In particular, fine water droplets containing chlorides that are present in raw diluted bitumen are captured by washing the raw diluted bitumen with low salinity water to produce the final diluted bitumen product having reduced chlorides.

The present invention relates to a pre-hydrotreatment and purification method for waste lubricating oil, the method comprising the following steps: mechanical impurities are removed from waste lubricating oil, and then the oil is subjected to flash distillation to separate free water and a portion of light hydrocarbons; a bottom product of the flash distillation column is mixed with hydrogen and a self-sulfurizing oil-soluble transition metal catalyst, and then enters a slurry bed reactor for pre-hydrotreatment; a gas product obtained by performing separation on a reaction effluent is subjected to adsorption purification and then enters a hydrogen recycle compressor for cyclic use; a liquid product obtained by performing separation on a reaction effluent is subjected to hydrocyclone separation and solvent washing to remove solid residue, and finally a purified lubricating oil component is obtained. The method of the present invention has such advantages as simple processing procedures, a high non-ideal component conversion rate, a high oil liquid yield, and good quality. In addition, the oil-soluble catalyst features simple dispersion, no need for vulcanization, a small catalyst adding amount, high low-temperature hydrogenation activity, and is capable of effectively preventing the coking that could occur during a process of preheating the waste lubricating oil, markedly extending the operational lifespan of a waste lubricating oil hydrogen treatment device.

An apparatus for cleaning an HVAC coil unit comprises a supply and collection assembly with a housing defining an interior space for containing a quantity of cleaning solution. A pump has an inlet positioned to be in fluid communication with the cleaning solution and is operative to deliver the cleaning solution to an outlet of the supply and collection assembly in a volume of at least 40 gallons per minute. Fluid return piping defines a conduit to conduct used cleaning solution from the HVAC coil unit back to a collection inlet. A filter assembly is positioned along the fluid return piping to filter the used cleaning solution. A fluid flow device is operative to provide pressure to move a quantity of the used cleaning solution through the fluid return piping. The used cleaning solution is returned to the interior space through the collection inlet during operation of said fluid flow device.

A process and associated system for the improved reclamation of disturbed lands (e.g., mined lands) is disclosed. In particular, the system including a dewatering cyclone, a screw classifier, and a dewatering apparatus (e.g. a dewatering belt) arranged in series to enable rapid and cost effective dewatering of slurries containing dilute clay and sand tailings to create an improved engineered reclamation material (ERM). The ERM formed by the controlled combining of dewatered sand tailings with dilute clay slurry and with a flocculant and overburden. The ratio of clay:sand:overburden of the ERM may be achieved by balancing the solid content (Cw) and water content (1Cw) materials of the clay slurry, sand tailings and overburden. In some embodiments, the system may include at least one additional component, such as, for example, static screen(s), centrifuge(s), vibrating screens, drum screens, belt screens, belt filters, and/or other liquid-solid separation devices.
