  • Patent number: 10647875
    Abstract: Provided is a thermally curable coating composition for alloy substrates, comprising: curable components, comprising an epoxy resin and a multifunctional (meth)acrylate; latent curing agents, which crosslink with the curable components upon heating, and comprise an isocyanate having at least two NCO groups and an amino resin; a curing promoter, comprising an aromatic phosphate comprising at least one hydroxy group connected with the phosphorous atom; and an organic solvent. Also provided are a method for providing a coating layer onto an alloy substrate and a coating layer thus obtained.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9114332
    Abstract: An apparatus for separating and measuring fluid streams having oil, water, and gas phases includes a first generally vertical fluid separation chamber, a second generally vertical fluid separation chamber, an oil outlet line, a water outlet line, and a gas outlet line. The first separation chamber includes a first outlet at the top end for the gas outlet line. A second outlet is at the bottom end of the first fluid separation chamber for discharging the oil and water phases. The second separation chamber includes an inlet for receiving the oil phase and the water phase from the first chamber. The oil outlet line directs the oil phase away from the second chamber. The water outlet line directs the water phase away from the second chamber. The gas outlet line directs the gas away from the first chamber. Flow meters measure water, gas, and oil flow.

  • Patent number: 7311001
    Abstract: An apparatus is utilized for obtaining flow measurements from an individual oil and gas well. The apparatus utilizes pipe segments rather than vessels to separate the fluid components into a gas phase, a water phase, and an oil phase. Separation of the flow stream into the different phases allows the measurement of a particular phase. Because the oil stream may continue to contain a small amount of water, a water cut meter may be employed to determine the water content in the oil stream. The apparatus may be configured as a skid package to facilitate transportation and installation of the unit.
