Patent CA-2355180-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAKKE RUNE
IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treatment of organic material,  grown for energy production or being organic waste which is slurried, suspended or dissolved in liquid, in a two-step anaerobic biochemical reacto r configuration comprising recirculation between the two reactors. The organic  material is fed to the first reactor where most of the hydrolysis and dissolution of the organic material takes place, resulting in formation of volatile fatty acids (VFA). Liquid material from the first reactor is transferred to the second, methanogenesis reactor where the treatment is finalized. The amount of VFA in each reactor is forced to oscillate within p re- set upper and lower limits by pulsed recirculation between the two reactors.  The amount of VFA in the reactors can be controlled by varying the recirculation rate of liquid between the reactors. The pH or the conductivit y in the reactors can be monitored and used for calculating and controlling th e amount of VFA in both reactors.

Abstract: A velocity independent method of predicting surface related multiples in any gather of seismic traces, (10). In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of regularizing the gather of seismic data traces, (12) and performing a double Fourier transformation from the x-t domain to the Kx-w domain, (24), and decomposing the transformed seismic data traces into uncoupled amplitude and phase spectra, and obtaining an estimate of the surface related multiples, (25), by scaling the amplitude spectrum by one half the value of the reflected coefficient for the first reflection below the earth surface and by doubling the phase spectrum. The estimated multiples, (25), may then be used for automated velocity determination or for multiple attenuation in the original data.

Title: Systeme exterieur de reparation de fuite de conduite
Inventor: SMYTH ROBERT J
IPC: F16L55/175
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Méthode de réparation externe de fuites de tuyaux pour obturer une fuite de tuyau avec un manchon de renfort externe pour tuyaux. Un appareil d'installation est d'abord placé sur la fuite pour éloigner et faire dévier les fluides s'étant échappés du tuyau et créer un environnement de travail sécuritaire. Ensuite, un bouchon d'obturation de fuite est placé sur l'emplacement de la fuite, et une partie élastomère du bouchon est enfoncée dans l'emplacement de la fuite. Après le nettoyage des environs de la fuite, le bouchon d'obturation de fuite est fixé au tuyau à l'aide d'un agent liant. Par la suite, la surface externe du tuyau et la surface interne du manchon de renfort pour tuyaux sont nettoyées, et un matériau de remplissage à l'époxyde est appliqué sur le tuyau à l'endroit devant être recouvert par le manchon de renfort externe pour tuyaux et sur le bouchon d'obturation de fuite. Une cavité est pratiquée dans une partie du manchon pour recevoir le bouchon d'obturation de fuite saillant et l'agent liant au-dessus de la surface externe du tuyau. Le manchon est ensuite installé autour du tuyau pour supporter mécaniquement le bouchon d'obturation de fuite. Le bouchon d'obturation de fuite, l'agent liant et l'époxyde agissent à la fois comme agents de remplissage et produits d'étanchéité, obturant la fuite et remplissant l'espace entre le tuyau et le manchon. Le bouchon d'obturation de fuite empêche le tuyau de fuir, le manchon empêche l'anomalie de causer une rupture, et l'agent de remplissage ainsi que l'époxyde agissent comme éléments secondaires devant empêcher la fuite de produit. Le manchon pour tuyau agit donc comme une seule unité, s'agrandissant et se contractant selon les fluctuations de la pression et de la température du tuyau.
