Publication number: 20220177304Abstract: A method of and apparatus for desalinating sea water using geothermal energy. A low voltage (such as less than 0.9V) is applied to a hydrogen generating catalysts to generate hydrogen and oxygen, wherein geothermal heat is used as a heat source. The hydrogen and oxygen are used to drive a gas turbine to generate electricity.

Publication number: 20030222026Abstract: Oil based drilling fluids (muds) that include clays can be broken into at least three layers of their respective components (oil, water, and clay) by adding a few weight percent of a high HLB surfactant prediluted in water. Centrifugation can accelerate this separation process. The resulting oil, water, and clay layers can thereafter be more cost effectively recycled or disposed of following the process. In another embodiment an additional surface active agent is added to facilitate breaking the drilling mud into three or more phases without the centrifuge.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2003Publication date: December 4, 2003Inventors: Jeffrey M.
