  • Linear pressure reducer for regulating injection pressure in an enhanced oil recovery system
    Patent number: 8607869
    Abstract: Linear pressure reducer apparatus for regulating injection pressure of a water-soluble polymer solution in injection wellheads, in an enhanced oil recovery system, including modules connected in series to the main injection pipe and each consisting of tubes of identical diameter but variable length, the apparatus allows variations to be made to pressure drop by adjusting the length of the tube through which the solution flows by closing or opening modules, without substantial degradation to the viscosity of the solution during its passage through the module. Installation for enhanced oil recovery implementing the apparatus.

  • Process for recycling laden fluids
    Patent number: 5538641
    Abstract: Described is a method to recycle laden fluid containing explosives or neutralized chemical agents. For example, the explosive laden fluid is passed through four filtering stages; a clarifier, a filter press, a sand filter and, ultimately, a reverse osmosis device. The feed water to the reverse osmosis device is a saturated solution of explosive or neutralizing chemical agent. The resulting permeate is about 10 ppm of explosive or neutralizing chemical agent.

  • Process and apparatus for photolytic degradation of explosives
    Patent number: 5524545
    Abstract: A process for photolytic degradation of the organic and nitrogenous components of high explosives in organic solvent is described. The process can be applied with a module photolytic apparatus so that munitions can be destroyed without endangering the environment or toxifying large quantities of water. An apparatus is also disclosed.

  • Dry preparation of particulate solid energetic material
    Patent number: 5501132
    Abstract: Energetic material can be rapidly cut or machined at high speed in the substantial absence of liquid coolant with a cutting tool having a rotating cutting surface by maintaining a portion of the cutting surface out of contact with the energetic material and continuously removing the resulting reduced energetic material from the area of the cutting tool.
