Patent CA-2482263-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NILSSON PER-GUNNAR
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: A therapeutic dry powder preparation and a method of administering such a preparation are disclosed for effectively de-aggregating and dispersing into air a dose of medication powder in an administration the dose to a user. The present dry powder preparation and method do not require other sources of energy besides the power of an inhalation effort by a user to produce a very high degree of de-aggregation and efficient dispersal into air of the dry powder medication dose. Utilizing an effort of sucking air through a nozzle, the particles of the therapeutic powder dose, made available to the nozzle, are gradually de-aggregated and dispersed into a stream of air entering the nozzle. The gradual de-aggregation and dispersal is produced by an air-razor effect due to a relative motion introduced between the nozzle and the powder dose. The nozzle is generally positioned outside the powder area and not accessing the powder until the air stream into the nozzle, created by the suction, has passed a threshold flow velocity. Coincidental with the application of the suction the relative motion will begin such that the nozzle traverses the powder dose gradually. Shearing stress and inertia of the applied air-stream is so powerful that particles in the particle aggregates of the powder dose adjacent to the inlet of the moving nozzle are released, de-aggregated to a very high degree as well as dispersed and then subsequently entrained in the created air stream going through the nozzle to the inhaling user.

IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: A process for treating produced water to generate high pressure steam. Produced water from heavy oil recovery operations is treated by first removing oil and grease. Pretreated produced water is then fed to an evaporator. Up to 95% or more of the pretreated produced water stream is evaporated to produce (1) a distillate having a trace amount of residual solutes therein, and (2) evaporator blowdown containing substantially all solutes from the produced water feed.  The distillate may be directly used, or polished to remove the trace residual solutes before being fed to a steam generator. Steam generation in a packaged boiler, such as a water tube boiler having a steam drum and a mud drum with water cooled combustion chamber walls, produces 100% quality high pressure steam for down-hole use.
