Patent number: 11815215Abstract: A pig routing insert or drain is used in various subsea systems having a block structure, e.g., block manifolds, with a plurality of perforated fluid passages. The insert generally includes a substantially unrestricted flow opening configured to allow substantially unrestricted fluid flow and passage of a cleaning pig, and a partially restricted opening having at least one pig blocking structure, in which the partially restricted opening is configured to allow substantially unrestricted fluid flow through the partially restricted opening whilst blocking the passage of the cleaning pig through the partially restricted opening. A method for manufacturing and installing the pig routing insert or drain in a machined block manifold includes positioning a manufactured pig routing insert at an intersection of first and second perforated fluid flow holes formed in a body of a structure and fastening the manufactured pig routing insert within the intersection in the body.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: FMC TECHNOLOGIES DO BRASIL LTDAInventors: Rafael Renan Dos Santos Barreto, Fernando Manuel De Carvalho Ferreira, Leonardo De Araújo Bernardo, Jorge Luiz Da Silva Bonfim, Kleber Stoffel Peres, Marco Vinicius Soares Da Silva, Alan Zaragoza Labes

Patent number: 8875692Abstract: A regulation valve having a valve body with a gas inlet. Housed within the valve body is a rotary regulatory body having a first inlet orifice corresponding to a first minimum flow of a first type of gas and a second inlet orifice corresponding to a second minimum flow of a second type of gas. The first and second inlet orifices are angularly displaced so that when the regulatory body assumes a first angular position within the regulatory body the first inlet orifice faces the gas inlet and so that when the regulatory body assumes a second angular position within the regulatory body the second inlet orifice faces the gas inlet. The regulation valve includes first and second sets of cooperating features that are capable of limiting rotation of the regulatory body to the first and second angular positions, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Coprectiec, S.L.Inventors: Johnny Leonardo Carvalho, Kléber Luiz da Silva

Patent number: 7769800Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital system integration process through a virtual server (5), which comprises a process that distributes instances of message management and processing application according to the number of processors (9) present in each server (10). A message reader component (2) removes the message from one of the input queues (1) and verifies if it is a valid message. Then the messages are stored in the internal processing queue (3) according to the environment configurations and the application server (4) marks the message with the respective virtual server (5). The application server (4) removes the message from the processing queue (3) and delivers the message to the client application (6). Finally, the message is validated and, after it is processed, excluded from the database (8).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Inventors: Leonardo Larsen Ribeiro, Inivaldo Luiz da Silva

Publication number: 20100154777Abstract: A regulation valve having a valve body, a rotary regulatory body and a drive shaft attached to the regulatory body. The rotary regulatory body is housed in the valve body and has a plurality of inlet orifices that may be positioned to face a gas inlet by rotating the regulatory body by use of the drive shaft. A first inlet orifice corresponds to a first minimum flow of a first type of gas, and a second inlet orifice corresponds to a second minimum flow of a second type of gas. The first and second inlet orifices situated in the regulatory body at different angular positions. The drive shaft and the valve body have cooperating features that limit the angular rotation of the regulatory body to a second angular position where the second inlet orifice is aligned to face the gas inlet. Attached to, or incorporated into the regulation valve, is a stop element which can be arranged in an active position or in a rest position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: Coprecitec, S.L.Inventors: Johnny Leonardo Carvalho, Kléber Luiz da Silva
