  • Patent number: 9504985
    Abstract: Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is produced by apparatus and methods wherein a ClO2 gas produced in the apparatus is quickly introduced into a fluid stream to be treated with said gas. To this end, the apparatus has an interior chemical reaction chamber which houses an internal fluid flow tube having a fluid impervious upper section and a porous lower section that respectively define two zones within the interior chemical reaction chamber.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2016
    Assignee: Basic Energy Services, L.P.
    Inventors: Kristian E. Grimland, John Charles Sokol

  • Patent number: 6286986
    Abstract: An improved oil and gas well servicing apparatus for blending and delivering a slurry of fracturing fluid and particulate matter at constant flow rate and pressure to a downhole pump is disclosed. Multiple blending tubs are mounted on a trailer or skid and are manifolded together in a slurry discharge manifold. The slurry discharge manifold combines the slurry discharged by the blending tubs and incorporates pipe sections of equal length to connect the blending tubs to the manifold. It is believed that the slurry discharge manifold and equal length piping provide balanced pressure drop between the individual blending tubs and creates a constant outlet pressure from the slurry discharge manifold. A fluid intake manifold may also be included to distribute fracturing fluid to the blending tubs. Hose connectors on each of the manifolds are provided on both sides of the apparatus for convenient operation from either side.
