  • SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR GASIFICATION OF A SOLID OR LIQUID
    Publication number: 20210269727
    Abstract: A system for gasification of a material includes a plasma generator interfaced to a reaction chamber. A feedstock such as pulverized coal is fed into a plasma jet created by the plasma generator and is gasified by the high temperatures of the plasma jet. The gas produced is then collected, filtered, and utilized, for example, in generating of electricity.

  • Over-coupling screen communication system
    Patent number: 10358897
    Abstract: A screen system formed of a first screen sub and a second screen sub joined by a connector sub. The connector sub includes (i) a pipe coupling assembly connecting the base pipes of the first and second screen subs; (ii) a substantially impermeable shroud formed around the pipe coupling assembly and creating a connector annulus between the shroud and pipe coupling assembly; and (iii) end rings including a substantially annular flow passage connecting the first and second screen annuluses to the connector annulus.

  • Over-coupling screen communication system
    Patent number: 10145222
    Abstract: A screen system having a first screen sub including a first base pipe wrapped with a first screen section; a second screen sub including a second base pipe wrapped with a second screen section; and a pipe coupling assembly joining the first and second base pipes. A section of filter material extends between the first and second screen sections, and extends over the pipe coupling assembly, thereby forming an annular flow path from the first screen section to the second screen section over the pipe coupling assembly.
