  • System for reducing produced water disposal volumes utilizing waste heat
    Patent number: 11485649
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for reducing produced water disposal volumes utilizing waste heat generated by thermal oxidation. Waste heat generated by thermal oxidation can be used to vapourize excess water, and to treat and scrub the water vapour for final release into the atmosphere. The system can utilize excess heat remaining after thermal oxidation to produce water vapour.
    Type: Grant

  • GAS INCINERATOR SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220170633
    Abstract: An incinerator comprising a cylindrical housing and a plurality of burners is provided. Each burner is oriented to emit gas at an upward and radially inward angle such that the burners collectively generate an upward, helical gas flow. A method for incinerating gas in a cylindrical housing is provided. Flowing gas through a first burner, oriented at an angle, generates an upward, helical gas flow within the cylindrical housing and draws a gas flow through a second burner.
