Patent CA-2851061-A1 (CA)
Title: Steam cleaning devices and compositions for use therewith
Inventor: HOUGHTON STEPHEN
IPC: B08B3/10
Filed: 2014-05-05
Abstract: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a steam cleaning device, the device comprising a supply of water for generating steam, and a steam cleaning head for ejecting steam generated from said supply of water in proximity to a surface to be cleaned, wherein the steam cleaning head comprises a portion for receiving a composition adapted to be used in conjunction with such a steam cleaning device, the portion being perfused by steam during ejection by said steam cleaning head of steam generated from said supply of water. This has the advantage that the composition may be changed by a user dependent only on the user's requirements and the rate of consumption of the composition, and independently of both the rate of consumption of water by the steam cleaning device and any need to remove, clean or replace a cleaning cloth mounted on the steam cleaning head. In a second aspect, the present invention also provides an encapsulated composition adapted to be used in conjunction with a steam cleaning device comprising a supply of water for generating steam, wherein the encapsulated composition has a shape adapted to fit a portion of a steam cleaning head of the steam cleaning device, which portion is perfused by steam during ejection by said steam cleaning head of steam generated from said supply of water. Such a "must-fit" adaptation of the encapsulated composition provides the possibility that only encapsulated compositions suitable for use in a particular steam cleaning device can be charged into that device, in order to ensure correct dosage by the composition of the steam generated by the device.

Title: System and process for removal of organic carboxylates from mono ethylene glycol (meg) water streams by acidification and vaporization under vacuum
Inventor: MESSENGER BRIAN E
IPC: E21B43/22
Filed: 2014-10-09
Abstract: A system and method for removing organic carboxylates from a mono ethylene glycol ("MEG") stream includes: a reaction vessel; means for cooling and diluting a MEG stream being routed to the reaction vessel; means for acidifying the cooled and diluted MEG  stream during its residence time within the reaction vessel; and means for removing an acetate-rich overhead stream from the reaction vessel.
