  • Publication number: 20120266976
    Abstract: An automated low pressure fluid recovery system is disclosed. An eductor receives low pressure fluid from a source, for example vapors from a hydrocarbon tank. The eductor also receives high pressure fluid from another source, for example the output of a compressor or a well. By venturi principles the two fluid streams are mixed and a third intermediate fluid stream is formed, which is routed to a desired location. The low pressure fluids are thereby beneficially captured and sold or otherwise used. Various sensing devices, such as pressure and temperature sensors, emit signals to a programmable logic controller, which in turn automatically manipulates various control mechanisms to efficiently and safely control fluid flow through the system.

  • Publication number: 20030089780
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for converting printed receipts (PTR) into data files comprising an optical reader for acquiring a digital image of a printed receipt in the form of a printed list containing at least object identifiers having a predetermined format, an optical character recognition means for extracting from the digital image at least the object identifiers, a search means for collecting information about the objects in a database on the basis of said object identifiers, a generating means for generating a data file comprising at least said information collected in the database, and a supply means for supplying said data file.

  • Patent number: 6418957
    Abstract: The EVRU is essentially an eductor, configured and designed, to capture and recover hydrocarbon fluids (gases and/or liquids) and/or other vapors and recombine and reinject into the system so that all the fluids are combined into a closed system to reduce or eliminate emissions (Greenhouse gases, VOC's, HAP's, CO, NOX and any other air pollutants). A measured, known volume of higher pressure fluid is fed into the eductor which draws measured, known volumes of lower pressure, hydrocarbon fluids and/or other vapors from emission (Greenhouse gas, VOC, HAP, CO, NOX and any other air pollutant) sources, combining the higher pressured fluids with the lower pressured fluids to an intermediate pressured combination fluid that is injected back into existing process equipment to close the system and prevent or minimize harmful emissions (greenhouse gases, VOC's, HAP's, CO and any other air pollutants).
