  • Flexible pipe body and method of producing same
    Patent number: 9951893
    Abstract: A flexible pipe comprising a tubular layer comprising a polymer that is crosslinked to a greater degree at an outer region of the tubular layer than at an inner region of the tubular layer, wherein the outer region is defined by the outer surface of the tubular layer to a depth of 5% of the total thickness of the tubular layer and the inner region is defined by the inner surface of the tubular layer to a depth of 5% of the total thickness of the tubular layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 24, 2018
    Assignee: GE Oil & Gas UK Limited
    Inventors: Mark Anthony Laycock, James Latto

  • Processes of reducing contamination from cellulosic suspensions
    Publication number: 20030164336
    Abstract: A method of removing synthetic hydrophobic resinous particles from a waste treatment process in which an aqueous cellulosic suspension is formed from waste cellulosic material in a pulping stage, passing the cellulosic suspension to a separation stage in which particles of ink and/or synthetic hydrophobic resinuous materials are separated from the cellulosic suspension, and optionally subjecting the cellulosic suspension to a washing stage and/or thickening stage to provide a treated pulp, in which process water from the separation stage and/or washing and/or thickening stages is clarified in a clarification stage in which suspended solids, comprising synthetic hydrophobic resinous particles are removed, and the clarified water is fed to the pulping stage in a clarification loop and/or combined with the treated pulp, wherein a water soluble cationic polymer is added to the process water at or prior to the clarification stage, characterised in that the water soluble cationic polymer formed from a monomer blend
