  • Publication number: 20240122263
    Abstract: A system comprising an aerosol provision system and a computer. The aerosol provision system is configured to generate aerosol from an aerosol-generating material. The computer is configured to obtain user behaviour data relating to an amount of an ingredient delivered from the aerosol-generating material to a user of the aerosol provision system. The computer then determines default user behaviour with respect to the amount of the ingredient to be delivered on the basis of the obtained user behaviour data. The computer then identifies, based on the obtained user behaviour, under what conditions to deliver a notification to the user, the notification informing the user of the user's current behaviour.

The computer is configured to obtain user behaviour data relating to an amount of an ingredient delivered from the aerosol-generating material to a user of the aerosol provision system. The computer then determines default user behaviour with respect to the amount of the ingredient to be delivered on the basis of the obtained user behaviour data. The computer then monitors a current interaction by the user with the aerosol provision system, and when the current user interaction deviates from the default user behaviour with respect to the amount of the ingredient delivered by a pre-determined amount, the computer provides a notification to the user.

  • Patent number: 10928548
    Abstract: A determination of the free water level for a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir is provided that accounts for the different classified rock types (that is, facies) in the reservoir. The free water level for each unique combination of facies is determined using a least squares minimization between a reference bulk volume of oil (Bvolog) determined from well logs a bulk volume of oil (Bvocalc) calculated from a saturation height function for each of the facies present in the reservoir. Systems and process for determining the free water level are provided.

  • Patent number: 9120685
    Abstract: A method for treatment of produced water, particularly deoiled water, by evaporation. Methods use a vertical tube heat exchanger bundle where the brine is distributed in a falling film along the inside of the tube wall. Condensing steam causes a portion of the deoiled water to evaporate; this water vapor travels upward in a counterflow direction relative to the deoiled water. Evaporator sump volume is minimized, and evaporators may have a multi-piece construction to lower the center of gravity of an evaporator installation. This technology provides several advantages over conventional vertical tube co-current flow evaporators (where the vapor flows downward with the falling film). These advantages include a minimal total installed cost (TIC) and enhanced water chemistry management.

  • Publication number: 20120145386
    Abstract: We provide an evaporator technology for treatment of produced water that may be deoiled water. Systems described herein utilize a vertical tube heat exchanger bundle where the brine is distributed in a falling film along the inside of the tube wall. Condensing steam causes a portion of the deoiled water to evaporate; this water vapor travels upward in a counterflow direction relative to the deoiled water. This evaporator technology provides several design advantages over the conventional vertical tube co-current flow evaporators (where the vapor flows downward with the falling film). These advantages include a minimal total installed cost (TIC) as well as offering optimal design features for water chemistry management.
