Patent CA-2542731-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHADEM FEREIDOUN FEDOR
IPC: C10G33/06
Filed: 2006-04-05
Abstract: The Khadem Separation Process (KSP) is invented to effectively separate the remaining oil from the water coming from Free-Water-Knock-Out (FWKO) vessel which is used to separate oil from water and sand contained in the fluid produced from oil wells. The water produced from FWKO vessel is fed into KSP. The water then enters a de-gassing tank for removal of solution gas. After gas removal, the fluid enters a separator tank where most of the oil is separated and is gathered on top of the water. The separated oil is collected, thereafter, in an oil tank located in the centre of the separator tank. At the same time, the sand contained in the water is released and is also collected at the bottom of the separator tank.  The water containing some fine solids and some remaining oils will then enter a medium sized tank. The water is then passed from this tank, through one or more reactor cells, in which gas is introduced to the oily water to create bubbles after discharging the water into both a smaller clean water tank and also the large separator tank. The discharge of the water into these tanks creates a vortex effect. The bubbles accelerate the separation of the oil from water and thereby increase the effectiveness of the separation. The main advantages of this process compared to the conventional skimmer tank are:   1. Accelerating the oil/water separation;  2. Smaller facility;   3. Less residency time is needed for separation of oil from water;  4. The water discharged from the facility is cleaner;   5. Avoiding shut down of the treatment plant, for removal of the produced sand;  6. Cost saving for removal of the produced sand (Point 4); and 7. More oil is removed from both water and produced sand.

Abstract: A webbing winding device (10) enabling the reduction of the amount of webbing pulled out after a pre-tensioner mechanism is operated, wherein a lock pawl (78) is brought into a non-engageable state where the lock pawl cannot be engaged with a lock gear (26). When the pre-tensioner mechanism (34) is operated to rotate a clutch plate (42) in a winding direction, a lock stopper (86) is rotated together with the clutch plate (42) to release the engagement thereof with the lock pawl (78). Accordingly, the lock pawl (78) is rotated by a compression coiled spring (70) to bring the lock pawl in an engageable state. Immediately after a rotating force in a pull-out direction is imparted to the lock gear (26) by a load from an occupant after the operation of the pre-tensioner mechanism (34), the lock pawl (78) is engaged with the lock gear (26) to stop the pull-out of the webbing (20). As a result, the amount of the webbing (20) to be pulled out can be reduced.
