20100303709 | Subterranean Well Production Saltwater Evaporation Station - A process comprising receiving production saltwater comprising water, salt, and hydrocarbons, separating substantially all of the hydrocarbons from the production saltwater, evaporating at least some of the water in the production saltwater to obtain the salt, and collecting the salt. Also disclosed is a facility comprising a settling pit, an evaporator in fluid communication with the settling pit and comprising a nozzle configured to emit a stream along a path, and a collection pit positioned under the path. | 12-02-2010 |
20120261249 | Subterranean Well Production Saltwater Evaporation Station - A production saltwater disposal facility comprising a separator configured to receive production saltwater from a pipeline or a vehicle and separate hydrocarbons from the production saltwater, wherein the production saltwater received from the pipeline or vehicle is substantially the same composition as when the production saltwater was located in a subterranean formation, a hydrocarbon storage tank configured to receive hydrocarbons from the separator, a settling pit configured to receive the production saltwater from the separator and separate metals and/or other solids from the saltwater, an evaporator in fluid communication with the settling pit and comprising a nozzle configured to emit a stream of the saltwater along a path in air such that water in the saltwater evaporates, and a collection pit positioned under the path and configured to collect the salt from the saltwater after the water has evaporated. | 10-18-2012 |
20140166210 | Subterranean Well Production Saltwater Evaporation Station - A production saltwater disposal facility comprising a separator configured to receive production saltwater from a pipeline or a vehicle and separate hydrocarbons from the production saltwater, wherein the production saltwater received from the pipeline or vehicle is substantially the same composition as when the production saltwater was located in a subterranean formation, a hydrocarbon storage tank configured to receive hydrocarbons from the separator, a settling pit configured to receive the production saltwater from the separator and separate metals and/or other solids from the saltwater, an evaporator in fluid communication with the settling pit and comprising a nozzle configured to emit a stream of the saltwater along a path in air such that water in the saltwater evaporates, and a collection pit positioned under the path and configured to collect the salt from the saltwater after the water has evaporated. | 06-19-2014 |
20150190728 | Subterranean Well Production Saltwater Evaporation Station with Iodine Separator - A production saltwater evaporation apparatus, comprising a separation and storage area comprising an iodine separation unit configured to remove iodine from production saltwater and produce saltwater, and an evaporator configured to emit a stream of the saltwater along a path in air such that at least some of the water in the saltwater evaporates. Included is a production saltwater evaporation apparatus, comprising a saltwater clarifying unit configured to separate metals from production saltwater and produce saltwater, and an evaporator configured to emit a stream of the saltwater along a path in air such that at least some of the water in the saltwater evaporates. | 07-09-2015 |

20140140892 | EXHAUST AFTER-TREATMENT SYSTEM - An exhaust after-treatment system for heating a sensor system attached to a diesel particulate filter for determining the condition of the diesel particulate filter is provided. The exhaust after-treatment system includes a diesel particulate filter, a sensor system, and a heating mechanism. The sensor system is configured to monitor pressure at an input end and an output end of the diesel particulate filter. The heating mechanism is in thermal contact with the sensor system. The heating mechanism is disposed downstream of an engine cooling system and enables a flow of engine coolant around the sensor system, preventing condensation and freezing of the sensor system. | 05-22-2014 |
20140237998 | MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR REDUCTANT INJECTOR WITH THERMAL ISOLATION AND SEALING GASKET - A mounting assembly for an injector is located in a curved portion of an exhaust line having an exhaust flow from an upstream end to a downstream end. The mounting assembly includes an indent extending at least partially into the exhaust line curved portion and disposed in the exhaust flow. The downstream wall has an interior surface oriented to substantially face the exhaust line downstream end. A recess extends from the downstream wall in a direction away from the exhaust line downstream end, and a recess aperture is formed in the recess and configured to fluidly communicate with the injector. The recess reduces the amount of exhaust heat reaching the injector tip. | 08-28-2014 |
20150196862 | Filter System and Filtration Method for Fluid Reservoirs - A fluid reservoir includes a reservoir body forming a reservoir volume and a header opening. A header seals the header opening and includes at least a heater disposed within the reservoir volume and a fluid draw conduit. A bag filter is connected to the header such that it completely encloses the heater and the fluid draw conduit such that, when fluid is drawn from the reservoir volume through the sump location, the fluid is filtered by the bag filter. | 07-16-2015 |
20150198071 | Filter System and Filtration Method for Fluid Reservoirs - A fluid delivery system includes a fluid reservoir having an inlet screen and a main reservoir filter. The fluid reservoir is adapted to enclose a fluid therewithin and includes a reservoir body forming a reservoir volume that is fluidly connected to an inlet conduit, a supply conduit, and a return conduit. The inlet screen is disposed fluidly along the inlet conduit and adapted to filter a fluid provided to fill the reservoir through the inlet conduit. The main reservoir filter is disposed fluidly along the supply conduit and adapted to filter a fluid drawn from the reservoir volume and provided through the supply conduit to a pump. | 07-16-2015 |
