  • Patent number: 10898905
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a motor driven, high velocity decanter, and more particularly to a decanter which incorporates a horizontal rotating bowl and a rotating scroll. The decanter is capable of separating particulate material or solids from a liquid. A motor is coupled to and drives the bowl. Rotational power is transferred from the bowl to the scroll through a gearbox. An adjustable speed brake is coupled to the scroll to affect the differential speed between the bowl and the scroll. In one example, the adjustable speed brake is a positive displacement pump.

  • Patent number: 5735357
    Abstract: A bottom hole assembly for use with coil tubing for drilling, comprising a mud motor having a housing that is bent at its lower end, an output shaft extending through the bent housing, a drill bit connected to the output shaft to be rotated as drilling mud is pumped through the mud motor, a rotator having a torque tube that is connected to the housing of the mud motor to allow the rotator to rotate the housing of the mud motor to change the orientation of the bent section of the housing as required to drill in the desired direction, a steering tool having a housing connected to the housing of the rotator and a central mandrel that is connected to the torque tube of the rotator so that the sensors of the steering tool will be rotated by the rotator the same angular distance as the bent housing so that the orientation of the sensors in the steering tool and the bent housing is always the same.
