  • Separator device
    Patent number: 10029264
    Abstract: A separator device for removing particles from suspension in a liquid includes a housing having first and second chambers with apertures for ingress and egress of liquid into the first chamber. Means are provided for setting up a swirl of liquid within the first chamber. Apertures enable flow of liquid between the first chamber and the second chamber. Means are also provided for setting up a swirl of liquid within the second chamber. The swirl in the second chamber is in substantially the opposite direction to the swirl in the first chamber, and there is no substantial flow in the second chamber which is in the same direction as the swirl in the first chamber.

  • Water and dirt separator
    Patent number: 10022726
    Abstract: A separator comprises a housing and a separator chamber contained within the housing, an inlet and outlet to the separator chamber and a dividing member for substantially dividing the separator chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. A flow path is provided between the first and second chambers for allowing flow to circulate between the first and second chambers, and guide means for creating opposing flow paths in the second chamber for slowing flow through the second chamber.

  • Detecting apparatus
    Patent number: 9945226
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for locating and positioning oilwell tool joints. This invention is particularly useful when the apparatus is placed near a Blowout Preventer (BOP) because it can be used to make sure that a tool joint is not present between the BOP rams. In some embodiments, the invention makes use of magnetic flux creation and detection by electromagnetic coils while a portion of the riser is magnetically saturated by powerful permanent magnets. Different configurations of the driving and sensing coils are possible so that it is possible to locate the tool joints longitudinally and radially within the apparatus. The apparatus is easily retrofitted to existing risers without altering ongoing operations because it can be opened before installation and closed once installed.

  • Magnetic separator and release tool therefor
    Patent number: 9931647
    Abstract: A magnetic separator for a central heating system comprises a housing, a separation chamber within the housing, and inlet and outlet ports extending from the housing. The inlet and outlet ports include push-fit connectors having collets surrounding the mouth of each of the inlet and outlet for releasing the connectors. The magnetic separator also has a release tool. The release tool has first and second bearing areas for bearing against the collets of the inlet and outlet connectors, and a handle region for enabling force to be applied, via the bearing areas, to both connectors simultaneously.

  • Lockable knob and related methods
    Patent number: 9823684
    Abstract: Lockable knobs for a rotary control of a device are described, wherein the control may be set at a specific setting via the knob without being susceptible to accidental disruption of the setting during use or transport of the device. Generally the device features: a spindle that is coupled to the rotary control via a set screw; a locking base with teeth that is stationary coupled adjacent to the spindle; and, a locking nut that may be positioned over the spindle, wherein the nut is configured to electively interact with the teeth of the base to prevent or allow rotation of the spindle.
