A process for mixing two or more streams of liquid oil which can be operated continuously, using a multi-inlet vortex mixer. The process is well suited to a process in which at least two streams of liquid oil have a different temperature, one being oil liquid at room temperature, one being solid at room temperature, but being melted for the mixing process.

A flow management and separation system for a horizontal wellbore having a primary artificial lift device having an intake has (a) a sealed central flowpath from a fluidseeker weighted keel inlet, through a recovery flow tube, a seal bore extension and a dip tube having a pump intake sealing assembly in fluid communication with the lift device intake; and (b) a mixed fluid flow path from a fluidseeker internal bypass passage, through an annulus of at least one slug catcher comprising a perforated shell.

A cannabis preparation mixer includes a processor, electrically coupled with each of a weighing system, a heating system, a mixing system, and a user interface within a main housing. The processor receives input from the weighing system and the user interface and transmits instructions to the heating system and the mixing system to heat and mix a mixture according to a predetermined pattern selected based upon a weight of herbs sensed at the weighing system. A heating system includes a heat plate that sits on top of a heating element which sits on top of the insulation pad. A mixing system includes a magnetic motor with a magnetic stirrer and wireless temperature probe that rotates above the magnetic motor, the magnetic stirrer having a wireless temperature probe therein. The user interface receives input from a user to identify user preferences and settings.

System and method for mixing a catalyst precursor into heavy oil using a high boiling hydrocarbon diluent to form a diluted precursor mixture, which is mixed with the heavy oil feedstock to form a conditioned feedstock, which is subsequently heated to decompose the precursor and form dispersed metal sulfide catalyst particles in situ. Because the high boiling hydrocarbon diluent is typically at a temperature above the decomposition temperature of the catalyst precursor, it is first feed through a cooler to reduce its temperature to avoid premature decomposition of the catalyst precursor. The high boiling hydrocarbon diluent may include a portion of the heavy oil feedstock, a portion of the conditioned feedstock, a vacuum tower bottoms product, or other high boiling hydrocarbon material having a boiling point higher than 524° C. A portion of the diluent may optionally include a medium boiling hydrocarbon material having a boiling point less than 524° C.

Systems and methods provided herein relate to a fluid mixing device for a pipeline. The pipeline includes a pipe wall and a first axial bore that extends from an inlet of the pipeline to an outlet of the pipeline for conveying a pipeline fluid through the pipeline from the inlet to the outlet. The fluid mixing device includes a fluid source operable to supply a mixing fluid to the axial bore through one or more orifices fluidly coupled to the fluid source. The one or more orifices include a first orifice. The first orifice includes an intake portion operable to receive the mixing fluid and defining a first interior diameter, a discharge portion operable to discharge the mixing fluid and defining a second interior diameter smaller than the first interior diameter, and a taper portion intermediate the intake portion and the outlet portion.
