Abstract: Rapid evacuation and deployment of dry materials is achieved by the dual structure of this device and the method of using it to fill and empty vacuum reloading tanks automatically. This permits materials such a bentonite, barite or cement to be handled easily and without dust on a rig floor and mixed appropriately as needed for well control and completion operations. Dry bulk material is offloaded from an offshore supply vessel into atmospheric tanks, which provide fluidized bed systems to aerate and agitate and move material through piping into the vacuum re-loader tanks. The dual re-loader tank system allows one tank to be emptied while another fills thereby providing sufficient flexibility to expertly manage receiving, storage, transfer, filtration and control of the bulk material on various space-critical platforms, including offshore rigs and service vessels, that require the handling of dry bulk materials in an accurate and dust-free manner.

Abstract: A directed multiport jetting nozzle in an eductor having a focal point of the motive fluid inside the throat of a venturi-diffuser body of the present eductor provides an efficient pump and mixer providing substantial surface contact area between the motive flow and the bulk material for movement through the outlet of the eductor. The result of this design provides a homogeneous mixture of the motive fluid and the bulk material which may be hydrating or wetting, or the creation of a slurry.

Abstract: A water reclamation system is composed of a high-capacity input pump connected to an ionizer, which dissociates solid or biological particles from the water. After leaving the ionizer, the fluid stream is run through staged filter systems progressively filtering the solids from the water, which is then fed to a reverse osmosis system for further filtration. Rejected water is diverted to a series of thermal units which cause the rejected water to flash into steam which is returned to the cleaned water stream of the reverse osmosis unit for discharge or further use; the remaining water, having the remaining solids and biological materials, is sent to a fracture unit where it is incinerated at an elevated temperature. The system is designed to provide parallel backups at each part of the process allowing cleaning to take place continuously while the other parallel system is operating.
