Title: Pentane-hexane solvent in situ recovery of heavy oil
Inventor: GUPTA SUBODH
IPC: E21B43/22
Filed: 2012-02-24
Granted: 2014-04-29
Abstract: An integrated thermal recovery process using a solvent of a pentane or hexane or both as an additive to, or sole component of, a gravity-dominated process for recovering bitumen or heavy oil from a reservoir. A pentane-hexane specific solvent fraction is extracted at surface from a diluent stream. That pentane-hexane solvent fraction is then injected into the reservoir as part of a gravity-dominated recovery process within the reservoir, and when that solvent fraction is subsequently produced as part of the oil or bitumen blend, it is allowed to remain within the blend to enhance the subsequent blend treating and transportation steps. Meanwhile, the remainder of the diluent from which the solvent stream had been extracted is utilized at surface as a blending stream to serve as an aid in treating of produced fluids and also to serve as a means of rendering the bitumen or heavy oil stream pipelineable.

Abstract: Un mécanisme de sécurité dans un système de gestion de base de données applique des restrictions de traitement stockées à titre de métadonnées pour contrôler la façon dont diverses composantes dune application multinodale ont accès aux données de la base de données afin dassurer la sécurité des données. Le mécanisme de sécurité vérifie préférablement les restrictions liées à la sécurité des données afin de détecter les atteintes à la sécurité lorsquune unité dexécution essaie daccéder aux données pour assurer que les conditions nodales sont adéquates pour laccès. Lorsque le mécanisme de sécurité détermine quil y a atteinte à la sécurité par une requête dune unité dexécution en fonction des restrictions de sécurité, le mécanisme de sécurité peut envoyer, retarder ou réessayer afin de maintenir la sécurité des données. Les conditions nodales mentionnées ici comprennent des restrictions temporelles et des relations avec dautres colonnes, rangées ou renseignements. Par exemple, plusieurs unités de traitement peuvent être autorisées de travailler ensemble, mais le mécanisme de sécurité empêcherait ces unités de traitement daccéder à certains renseignements au même moment par lintermédiaire des métadonnées dans la base de données.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for treating wastewater to simultaneously remove nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. The process includes an anoxic tank that receives at least two streams, including plant influent wastewater and return activated sludge. These streams are mixed in the anoxic tank to promote phosphorus release and fermentation of particulate and dissolved organic matter. The mixed liquor is transferred to an aerated tank having low dissolved oxygen concentrations to promote development of phosphorus-release bacteria that is eventually recycled to the anoxic tank by way of the return activated sludge. Simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus release occur in the aerated tank. A membrane tank separates treated effluent from activated sludge in a membrane tank.

Abstract: The valve is integrated into a fluid distribution network and makes it possible, in a selective manner, to interrupt or authorize the flow of a fluid in an axial direction of a pipe. This valve comprises an external body (20), inside which a shut-off member (22) is disposed, a service seal (220) which, in a shut-off position of the valve, provides sealing between the shut-off member and the body (20) of the valve, and a maintenance sealing mechanism (M) which is disposed upstream of the service seal (220) and which provides sealing during maintenance operations on the service seal (220). The mechanism (M) comprises a ring (206) which is able to move axially, with respect to the body (20) of the valve, between a retracted position, in which it does not prevent the passage of the fluid, and a forward position, where it bears in a sealing manner against the shut-off member (22). The ring carries, on its internal surface, an elastically deformable membrane which, when the ring is in the forward position, bears, at least partially, against the shut-off member (22).
