Patent CA-2532924-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved stability of hydrocarbons containing asphaltenes
Inventor: RESPINI MARCO
IPC: C10L1/24
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: Heavy fuel oils or residual fuel oils can be stabilized with magnesium overbased compounds such as magnesium overbased carboxylates. It was surprisingly discovered that adding magnesium overbased carboxylates to the residual fuel oils shortly after thermal cracking gave much better results than can be achieved after the application of the carboxylates to the fuel oil after storage. Further, compounds containing at least about 21 wt% magnesium also give better results than compounds with 18 wt% or less, in one non~  limiting embodiment. Magnesium overbased compounds can also be added to coker feedstocks to reduce coker furnace fouling. Treatment with the methods of this invention reduces asphaltene deposits and sludges.

Patent CA-2537546-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-channel infrared optical phase fraction meter
Inventor: ATKINSON DAVID
IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 2006-02-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring a phase fraction of a flow stream are disclosed. An infrared phase fraction meter includes a light source for emitting into a flow stream infrared radiation that includes first and second wavelength bands. The first wavelength band substantially transmits through first and second phases of the flow stream and is substantially absorbed by a third phase. In contrast, the second wavelength band is substantially absorbed by the second phase relative to the first and third phases. One or more detectors simultaneously detect attenuation of the first and second wavelength bands upon the infrared radiation passing through at least a portion of the flow stream, and a phase fraction of the second phase is determined based on the attenuation. As an example, the first, second and third phases are gas, water and oil, respectively, produced from a well.
