Actuator for use in a separator

An actuator for a separator for separating contaminants from a fluid stream which includes entrained contaminants. The actuator is arranged to move along an actuator axis to adjust an open cross-sectional area of at least one aperture of the separator, and comprises a flexible diaphragm, and a support assembly for the flexible diaphragm. The support assembly is movable along the actuator axis carrying the flexible diaphragm and has an upper support member mounted on a lower support member. A portion of the flexible diaphragm is located between the upper and lower support members. The lower support member comprises an axially extending support portion coupled to a radially extending support portion. The upper support member comprises a diaphragm anti-inversion feature coupled to a radially extending support portion. The diaphragm anti-inversion feature extends such that it axially overlaps at least part of the axially extending support portion of the lower support member.

STEAM SPECIAL EFFECT SPRAYER AND RELATED SPECIAL EFFECT SYSTEM
20220307522 · 2022-09-29 · ·

A steam special effect sprayer comprises a condensation cavity, a first ejector structure, and a second ejector structure, wherein one end of the condensation cavity is connected with a steam pipeline, and the other end is connected with the second ejector structure. The first ejector structure which is built inside the condensation cavity ejects the steam from the steam pipeline into the condensation cavity, where the steam forms microdroplets, and then the second ejector structure ejects the microdroplets to the external environment.

Boosting production from low pressure or dead wells
11428082 · 2022-08-30 · ·

A gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) is configured to process crude oil produced from a well. A production stream from the well operates at a first pressure. A processed crude oil stream from the GOSP flows to a multi-phase ejector. The multi-phase ejector induces flow of a production stream from the well in response to the flow of the processed crude oil stream.

Centrifugal Air Compressor and Control
20220268286 · 2022-08-25 ·

A centrifugal gas compressor fed with a gas and a processing liquid comprises a rotor rotated by a prime mover. The rotor defines an internal axial cavity with a cylindrical surface, an annular peripheral collection cavity, and a tapered radial channel fluidly connecting the internal axial cavity and the annular peripheral collection cavity. With each rotation of the rotor, a portion of the processing fluid is swept into the inlet of the tapered radial channel and travels radially as a fluid piston under centrifugal force pushing and compressing a column of gas entrained in front of said fluid piston, and is expelled into the annular peripheral collection cavity where it undergoes centrifugal separation, leaving the compressed gas to be drawn off through the compressed gas outlet for downstream use. A method for compressing a gas is also provided.

CONTAINER-INTERIOR DRYING DEVICE AND CONTAINER-INTERIOR DRYING METHOD

Provided are a container-interior drying device and a container-interior drying method capable of shortening drying time and improving the efficiency in an entire filling line without causing container deformation, the device having a simple configuration and requiring little space for installation. The device includes a gas ejector nozzle (110) capable of being inserted into an interior of a container through an opening of the container, a suction mechanism (120) capable of facing the opening of the container, and a gas supply unit (130) configured to supply the gas ejector nozzle (110) with gas, wherein gas is ejected into the interior of the container from the gas ejector nozzle (110), and the suction mechanism (120) positioned so as to face the opening of the container sucks out gas through the opening of the container.
