  • Patent number: 11471012
    Abstract: An incinerating toilet includes a toilet unit, a toilet casing, and a lifting device. The toilet unit includes a toilet bowl, an incineration chamber, and an ash tray. The toilet casing is arranged so as to cover a front and sides of the toilet unit and has a toilet cover and sitting ring connected on top. The lifting device is arranged for moving the toilet casing relative to the toilet unit, from a first position in which the toilet casing is covering the at least one part of the toilet unit, to a second position allowing access to the at least one part of the toilet unit in order to perform service and maintenance. The lifting device includes a spring-loaded device connected to the toilet casing and adapted to store mechanical energy in the first position, in order to provide a push or pull force when activated, for moving the toilet casing from the first position to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20110247697
    Abstract: There is described a method of processing fluid from a well. In an embodiment, a fluid processing system is operable to process fluids from a well in dependence on a plurality of controllable system parameters. The parameters are adjusted between respective first and second parameter values, and the first values define a first operational configuration and the second values defining a second, different operational configuration. The adjustment is carried out such that the system is balanced whilst adjusting the parameters. This may be done by adjusting the value of each parameter simultaneously along linear curves from a first initial value to a second end value. In the second configuration, activation or deactivation of a compressor (30) can take place without disrupting the system. The compressor is used to increase the rate of flow of processed fluid from the system.
