Patent number: 11187375Abstract: A hanger clip is disclosed comprising: a housing and a clip member for attaching the hanger to a surface or protrusion. The clip member is connected to the housing and comprises a follower, wherein the clip member is configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration based on the position of the follower. The housing and clip are configured to receive a cam member which is configured to rotate within the housing to change the position of the follower to move the clip member between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The hanger clip can therefore be remotely actuatable using a tool attached to a pole which can be manipulated from ground level.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: 1323591 Alberta Ltd.Inventor: Bruce Lyon

Publication number: 20170165598Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating a natural gas production stream from hydrocarbon well operations into a gas component and a sand and liquid component is described. More specifically, a sand separator comprising a cylindrical body, a production stream inlet port, a gas outlet port and a solid and liquid drain port is described. The cylindrical body has an inner cavity with an inner cone having one-way gas vents and a stationary auger wrapped around the inner cone. The production stream inlet port includes a pipe having a curved tip that directs the production stream into the body and around the inner cone and stationary auger, causing the production stream to slow down and the components to separate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2017Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: Sable Sand Solutions Inc.Inventors: Bruce LYON, Gordon MCINTOSH
