Abstract: An apparatus for separating a fluid mixture includes a uniaxial cyclonic separator (2) having a separation chamber (18) for separating the fluid mixture by cyclonic action into a first fluid and a second fluid. An inlet (16) is located at a first end of the separation chamber (18) for receiving a fluid mixture, while a first outlet (22) for the first fluid and a second outlet (26) for the second fluid are located at a second end of the separation chamber. A gas injection means (12) is provided for injecting a gas into the fluid mixture to aid separation within the separation chamber (18). The gas injection may also be through an annular chamber surrounding the separator chamber (18). The gas in this case is introduced through a porous medium 130 via a gas supply line 136.

Abstract: A sand separation system includes a first separator (2) that is constructed and arranged to receive a first mixture of gas, sand and liquid, and separate gas at least partially from the first mixture to leave a second mixture of sand and liquid. A second separator (22) comprising a uniaxial cyclonic separator is constructed and arranged to receive the second mixture and separate liquid at least partially from the second mixture to leave a third mixture of sand and liquid. A third separator (34) comprising a gravity separator is constructed and arranged to receive the third mixture and separate liquid at least partially from the third mixture.

Abstract: A separation system for separating a fluid mixture includes a uniaxial cyclonic separator (2) having a first inlet (16) for receiving a fluid mixture, a separation chamber (18) for separating the fluid mixture by cyclonic action into a dense first fluid and a less dense second fluid, a first outlet (22) for the first fluid and a second outlet (26) for the second fluid. The system further includes a reverse flow cyclonic separator (32) having a second inlet (30) for receiving the first fluid from the first outlet (22), a separation chamber for separating the first fluid by cyclonic action into a dense third fluid and a less dense fourth fluid, a third outlet (34) for the third fluid and a fourth outlet (36) for the fourth fluid.

Abstract: A multiport infusion device used as an intravenous administrator of prescribed fluid is provided. The device includes a band adapted to be secured to a user's body part near an intravenous therapy location. A multiport body is secured to the band and includes a multiport fluid exchange route fluidly communicating between a first port and at least a second port of the body's ports.

Abstract: A device for co-mingling fluids from separate sources comprises a jet pump having high and low pressure fluid inlets, and a main outlet for discharging a mixture of the two fluids. A phase separator, receiving fluid from another source of fluid, has a fluid-rich outlet connected to the high pressure inlet of the jet pump, and a gas-rich outlet connected to the main outlet of the jet pump. Fluids from the gas-rich outlet of the separator are mixed with fluids discharged by the jet pump.
