A volatiles consuming eductor system for coated scrap metal furnaces with separate delacquering and melt chambers. Motive gas is forced through an inlet into a mixing chamber in a direction opposite a suction port, creating a Venturi that draws gases from the delaquering chamber through the mixing chamber. The motive gas and the drawn gases mix and are forced through a discharge port, ignited, and injected into the melt chamber to help heat the melt chamber. A computer monitors process conditions and controls a regulator that adjusts the motive gas flow in response to those conditions.

A system and method of wellbore operations that uses an eductor unit for introducing additives into a moving fluid stream to form a mixture. The mixture is used as a completion drilling fluid for drilling through plugs installed in a wellbore. Example additives include polymers, such as friction reducers, viscosifiers, potassium chloride, polysaccharide, polyacrylamide, biocides, lubricants, long chain polymer molecules, and the like. The fluid is primarily fresh water and/or brine water, and acts as a motive fluid in the eductor unit for drawing the additive into the eductor unit. Forming the mixture in the eductor unit which is injected into the wellbore.

The invention provides methods for assessing one or more predetermined characteristics or properties of a microfluidic droplet within a microfluidic channel, and regulating one or more fluid flow rates within that channel to selectively alter the predetermined microdroplet characteristic or property using a feedback control.

Disclosed are systems and methods for continuously producing dry water from silica and water and from silica, sodium bicarbonate, and water.

Compositions and methods are provided for a system in which liquid carbon dioxide, or a mixture of liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide, is converted to solid carbon dioxide by exiting an orifice at a sufficient pressure drop, e.g., for delivery of carbon dioxide to a concrete mixture in a mixer.

An apparatus for producing conditioned water configured to add a pH adjuster and/or a redox potential regulator to ultrapure water to produce conditioned water, the generator including: a chemical tank configured to store a chemical solution containing the pH adjuster and/or the redox potential regulator; a chemical injection pipe configured to inject the chemical solution in the chemical tank into the ultrapure water; and a degassing device configured to degas the chemical solution injected into the ultrapure water. When producing conditioned water useful as wash water for semiconductor wafers by adding a pH adjuster and/or a redox potential regulator into ultrapure water, the present invention can solve problems such as incorporation of DO from the chemical solution, injection failure and measurement failure of the flow meter due to foaming of the chemical solution, thereby enabling stable production of conditioned water with a low DO concentration and high water quality.

The present disclosure provides a system for the internal and external modification of nanoparticles in a continuous process. The system includes (a) a first inlet, (b) a second inlet, (c) a first pump in fluid communication with the first inlet, (d) a second pump in fluid communication with the second inlet, (e) a first flow meter positioned between the first pump and the first mixer, (f) a second flow meter positioned between the second pump and the first mixer, and (g) a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the first flow meter and the second flow meter, and (h) a first heat exchanger in fluid communication with the mixing chamber.

In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for efficiently managing bulk material are provided. The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for efficiently combining additives into bulk material being transferred about a job site. The systems may include a support structure used to receive one or more portable containers of bulk material, and a mulling device disposed beneath the support structure to provide bulk material treatment capabilities. Specifically, the mulling device may facilitate mixing of coatings or other additives with bulk material that is released from the portable containers, as well as transfer of the mixture to an outlet location.

A method for continuously processing at least two liquid feed streams is provided. A system for continuously processing at least two liquid feed streams is also provided.

Apparatus and methods for designing a system that measures deflection at multiple points and in various axes and how it relates to flow measurement are described. A system for continuously measuring the mass flow of a media includes one or more cartridges, one or more displacement sensing devices, and a processor. The one or more cartridges are connected serially between an inflow and outflow media pipe. The one or more displacement-sensing devices is configured to detect displacement changes of the one or more cartridges at two or more separate points on the cartridge(s) when the media flows through the cartridge(s). The processor is configured to calculate the flow of the media based on the detected displacement changes of the one or more cartridges at the one or more separate points.
