Patent CA-2567171-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEINS WILLIAM F
IPC: E21B43/40
Filed: 2006-11-03
Abstract: A process for conditioning of wastewater treatment brines for deep well injection during recovery of heavy hydrocarbon oils in situ. High pressure steam is used to mobilize oil, which is recovered in a mixture of oil and produced water.  The produced water is pre-treated by removing residual oil. The remaining water is acidified and steam stripped to remove non-hydroxide alkalinity and non-condensable gases, and is then fed to a crystallizing evaporator, where it is evaporated from a circulating brine slurry to produce (1) a distillate stream having a trace amount of residual solutes, and (2) evaporator blowdown stream containing, as dissolved or suspended solids, substantially all of the solutes from the produced water feed. The distillate stream is used as boiler feedwater, either directly or after polishing. The evaporator blowdown is conditioned to remove substantially all suspended solids and to produce a clear brine solution for deep well injection.

Title: Assembly structure and procedure for concrete towers used in wind turbines
Inventor: FERNANDEZ GOMEZ MIGUEL ANGEL
IPC: E04H12/12
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: Structure and procedure for erecting concrete towers used in wind turbines in which said towers consist of sections (4) which in turn may each comprise a different number of segments(1) or longitudinal sections. The procedure includes two differentiated cycles, which may take place alongside each other: the pre-assembly of each section of tower and their assembly. The sections may be pre-mounted on bases (5) placed on the ground, with the segment in turn fitted with the help of struts (2) and mechanical jacks (3). This procedure is extremely versatile in that it makes the best logistic use of the material, resources and requisite assembly times since the assembly procedures for each section can be developed alongside each other in the different wind farm towers, and also greater heights can be achieved than is traditionally possible.

Title: Lysine citrate for plasma protein and donor protection
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: A61K35/19
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: An improved anticoagulant or additive is based on a higher level of citric acid than is usual (at least about 1.0% weight by volume). The higher citrate is combined with an amino acid as a counterion. The amino acid prevents cellular damage often caused by elevated citrate levels. The amino acid citrate mixture also serves to preserve platelet concentrates and platelet rich plasma during room incubation. Not only does the amino acid citrate combination enhance platelet integrity, it completely inhibits or kills bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis.Collecting blood of plasma into such higher levels of citrate prevents activation of blood proteins so that fractions made from the blood or plasma have superior characteristics.

Patent CA-2577687-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MECHAM TRAVIS W
IPC: F24S50/20
Filed: 2007-02-09
Abstract: A method to enhance oil shale, oil sand, asphaltic crude oil, or other hig h viscosity crude oil production by using a solar blackbody waveguide to heat these formations in situ. A parabolic mirror collects and directs the solar flux into a vertical shaft of a well drilled into the formation. This vertical shaft is lined with a reflective sleeve that reflects nearly all of the sunlight down into the wel l bore. The reflective sleeve ends at the top of the formation so that below this point, the solar flux is permitted to make successive reflections with the interior of the metal well casing or solar blackbody waveguide coil. The coil absorbs the solar flux, converting it to heat. Heat from the coil is transferred by conduction into the formation and allowing the formation to be produced by traditional methods.< /SDOAB>
