Patent number: 10429858Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of providing advisory controls for a desalter system. The method allows a user to continuously monitor performance of the desalter system, to continuously monitor position of the emulsion band (or rag layer), to control the emulsion band using demulsifiers, and to recommend to users how to maintain optimal pressure drop at the mixing device of the desalter system. This is achieved by using a first principles based model combined with a sensor to measure the position, quality and size of the emulsion band. The first principles based model takes into account the geometry of the desalter system, physical properties of the crude oil and water, as well as the operating conditions. Thus, the method provides users with sensing of an emulsion layer through direct measurements and also gives recommendations on appropriate corrective actions to be initiated during upsets.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: BL Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Vijaysai Prasad, Jayaprakash Sandhala Radhakrishnan, Jeffrey Allen Zurlo, Richard Stephen Hutte, Arjun Bhattacharyya, Manish Joshi

Patent number: 10258942Abstract: An injection quill design and methods of use for injecting a first fluid into a second fluid. The injection quill may comprise a hollow stem having a closed end and a sidewall, the stem having a curved cross-section defined by a major axis, and a minor axis, and at least one orifice for injecting the first fluid into the second fluid, wherein the major axis is greater than the minor axis and/or the orifice extends through the sidewall and/or the orifice has an internal chamfer with a chamfer angle ranging from less than 0° but greater than 90°.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Glenn Vernon Kenreck, Jr., Jayaprakash Sandhala Radhakrishnan, Manish Joshi, Siva Kumar Kota

Patent number: 9255228Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of providing advisory controls for a desalter system. The method allows a user to continuously monitor performance of the desalter system, to continuously monitor position of the emulsion band (or rag layer), to control the emulsion band using demulsifiers, and to recommend to users how to maintain optimal pressure drop at the mix valve of the desalter system. This is achieved by using a first principles based model combined with an ultra-sound sensor. The ultra-sound sensor measures the position, quality and size of the emulsion band. The first principles based model takes into account the geometry of the desalter system, physical properties of the crude oil and water, as well as the operating conditions. Thus, the method provides users with sensing of an emulsion layer through ultrasound measurements and also gives recommendations on appropriate corrective actions to be initiated during upsets.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Vijaysai Prasad, Jayaprakash Sandhala Radhakrishnan, Jeffrey Allen Zurlo, Richard Stephen Hutte, Arjun Bhattacharyya, Manish Joshi

Publication number: 20130098829Abstract: A permeate carrier for a spiral wound membrane element has two or three layers, for example of tricot construction. The two outer, or only, layers resist movement of the membrane sheet into permeate channels in the permeate carrier. The total thickness of the permeate carrier sheet may be similar to the thickness of typical tricot permeate carrier sheets. The permeate carrier sheet may be coated to make its surfaces hydrophilic. The coating may be, for example, a cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). In the spiral wound element, a permeate carrier sheet may be wrapped in one or more layers around a central tube. Channels in the permeate carrier sheet are oriented helically relative to a longitudinal axis of the central tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2011Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Prasanna Rao DONTULA, Yatin TAYALIA, Upen Jayant BHARWADA, Jayaprakash Sandhala RADHAKRISHNAN, Muralidhar PATNAM
