Patent number: 8167041Abstract: A system and method for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly recovery of bitumen aims at recovering unconventional oil in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way that has the potential of eliminating the need of natural gas currently employed for steam production and power generation. The system and method aims at providing low temperature steam for the stimulation of the formation by means of solar radiation. In addition, the system and method provides a novel solution for hydrogen production that does not employ reforming of natural gas. Furthermore, the use of thermoelectric devices in combination with low temperature steam can be employed to power an electrolysis plant to generate the hydrogen necessary to produce synthetic oil.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Masdar Institute of Science and TechnologyInventors: Matteo Chiesa, Vincent Berube, Andy Muto, Anurag Bajpayee, Daniel Kraemer

Patent number: 8137547Abstract: A fluid treatment tank for use in a well fluid processing system. The tank is divided into at least three compartments, including an oil treatment compartment for receiving oil from a separator vessel of the well fluid processing system so as to allow stabilization and/or final separation and treatment of the oil, a reject treatment compartment for receiving reject fluid from one or more water treatment units of the well fluid processing system so as to allow gravitational separation of heavier and lighter components of the reject fluid, and a water treatment compartment for receiving de-oiled water from one or more water treatment units of the well fluid processing system so as to allow degassing and/or final separation of the water. Also, a well fluid processing system including such a fluid treatment tank.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Hamworthy PLCInventors: Pål Jahre Nilsen, Matteo Chiesa, Peder Hansson, Helge Andersen

Patent number: 8092692Abstract: A separator apparatus for separating immiscible fluid components of different specific gravities. A body includes an internal flow channel for a mixture of fluid components to be separated. A rotation generating device brings the fluid mixture to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the flow channel. An extraction device withdraws a central part of the rotating fluid mixture flowing through the flow channel. A bubble introducer introduces micro-sized gas bubbles into the fluid mixture so as to thereby enhance the separation of the fluid components. Also a method for separating immiscible fluid components of different specific gravities.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Hamworthy PLCInventors: Pål J. Nilsen, Matteo Chiesa
