20090173662 | Fischer-Tropsch Wax Composition and Method of Transport - The present invention relates to transportable product for the transportation of paraffinic wax and methods of transporting using this transportable product. The transportable product comprises 90 to 20 weight % of a liquid comprising >50 weight % alcohol and having a true vapor pressure of ≦14.7 psia when measured at 20° C., and 10 to 80 weight % of wax particles, wherein the wax particles comprise ≧75 weight % of wax particles larger than 0.1 mm. The transportable product and methods of transporting according to the present invention are able to accommodate a relatively high weight % of paraffinic wax particles in the transportable product while avoiding interparticle adhesion and clumping by ensuring that the wax particles are not too small and the amount of small wax particles is not excessive. | 07-09-2009 |
20090264694 | REDUCTION OF ORGANIC HALIDES IN ALKYLATE GASOLINE - An alkylation process comprising contacting a first hydrocarbon feed comprising at least one olefin having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms and a second hydrocarbon feed comprising at least one isoparaffin having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms with a halide-based acidic ionic liquid catalyst under alkylation conditions to produce an alkylate containing an organic halide and contacting at least a portion of the alkylate with a hydrotreating catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under hydrotreating conditions to reduce the concentration of the organic halide in the alkylate is disclosed. | 10-22-2009 |

20120090220 | Method and System for Processing Viscous Liquid Crude Hydrocarbons - A method and system for handling viscous liquid crude hydrocarbons is disclosed. The method involves (a) solvent deasphalting at least a portion of an asphaltene-containing liquid crude hydrocarbon feedstock to form an asphaltene fraction and a deasphalted oil (DAO) fraction essentially free of asphaltenes; (b) adjusting the density of the asphaltene fraction to substantially the same density of a carrier for the asphaltene fraction; (c) forming coated asphaltene particles from the asphaltene fraction of step (b); (d) slurrying the coated asphaltene particles with the carrier; and (e) transporting the slurry to a treatment facility or a transportation carrier. | 04-19-2012 |
20140262225 | OIL EXTRACTION USING RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING - Oil extraction from an oil-bearing formation includes: heating a first portion of the formation containing oil with radio frequency energy; extracting the oil from the first portion of the formation; injecting steam into the first portion of the formation to heat a second portion of the formation containing oil adjacent the first portion; and extracting the oil from the second portion of the formation. | 09-18-2014 |
20140266951 | SUBSURFACE ANTENNA FOR RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING - A subsurface antenna is designed for use below the surface of the Earth. In some configurations the antenna is a dipole antenna, which can be used for radio frequency heating of an oil-bearing formation. | 09-18-2014 |

20090133397 | FREE PISTON STIRLING ENGINE - A free piston Stirling engine, comprising a power piston fitted into a cylinder further includes: a support structure carrying moving magnets for a linear alternator; and a passive structure that at normal operating power and frequency produces a restoring force on the piston in the absence of contact with the cylinder. In one variation, the passive structure further comprises a mass suspended within the piston from at least one spring, such that the mass oscillates under influence of movement of the piston at normal operating power and frequency so as to produce the restoring force. In another variation, the passive structure further comprises: a magnet disposed outside the cylinder at a position and in an orientation to produce a field that opposes a field of a moving magnet carried by the support structure when the piston moves toward the magnet. | 05-28-2009 |
20100319363 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RAPIDLY CHILLING OR WARMING A FLUID IN A CONTAINER - A method and apparatus for rapidly chilling or heating a container of liquid is provided. The method may include angularly oscillating the container in the presence of a coolant to impart inertial flow to the liquid contained in the container. Various devices for achieving accelerated cooling of liquids are disclosed. | 12-23-2010 |
20110132739 | DEVICES AND METHOD FOR REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM WATER USING LOW GRADE HEAT - A method and system for removing impurities from water including heating a first gas stream including a first gas or a gas mixture and pre-humidifying the first gas stream using water from an impure water source. Heat may be transferred the first gas stream to a second gas stream, wherein the second gas stream includes a second gas or a gas mixture and wherein the first gas stream and the second gas stream flow in opposing directions. Water may be condensed out of the first gas stream and the second gas stream may be contacted with impure water, evaporating at least a portion of water from the impure water into the second gas stream to humidify the second gas stream. The first gas stream and the second gas stream are sustained at or near ambient pressure. | 06-09-2011 |
20120222442 | DEHUMIDIFICATION - Recuperation systems and methods are applied to vapor compression cycles in dehumidification, such as in air conditioning. In some embodiments, a method for dehumidification includes introducing a refrigerant from a heating unit to a cooling unit along a first path; introducing the refrigerant from the cooling unit to the heating unit along a second path different from the first path; introducing the refrigerant from the heating unit to the cooling unit along a third path different from the first path; and contacting the cooling unit and the heating unit with a first gas stream. | 09-06-2012 |

20120279385 | Gas operating system for a firearm - A gas operating system for a firearm has an energy transmission facility and a gun barrel having a lateral aperture. The energy transmission facility and the lateral aperture have gas communication between them. The gun barrel and the energy transmission facility are mechanically decoupled such that the energy transmission facility does not impede flexing of the gun barrel. All forward forces generated by the energy transmission facility may be transferred from the energy transmission facility to a self-loading facility. The energy transmission facility may include a gas block having a sleeve that is slidably disposed on the gun barrel. The energy transmission facility may include a gas block and a tubular body extending from a receiver to the gas block, one end of the tubular body being slidably received in the gas block. The energy transmission facility may also include the tubular body receiving a gas piston. | 11-08-2012 |
