  • Publication number: 20140202333
    Abstract: Systems and methods to improve the separation of drill cuttings from drilling fluids using cyclone devices are described. Specifically, a system for separating three phases of a gas/liquid/solid mixture is described. The system includes a cyclone for separating the gas/liquid/solid mixture into a solids component and a gas/liquid mixture; a gas/liquid separator for separating the gas/liquid mixture into a gas component and a liquid component; and a vacuum system for providing a motive force for moving the gas/liquid/solid mixture into the cyclone, moving the separated gas/liquid mixture into the gas/liquid separator and for removing the gas component from the gas/liquid separator.

  • Publication number: 20130167721
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fabric filter system, which may be used for removing particulate matter from a gas, such as a combustion process gas. The fabric filter system includes fabric filters (3) in a filter module. From the fabric filters (3), gas flows through a filter plenary space (5) and into an outlet duct (7). A flow control device (17) controls the amount of gas flowing into and through the outlet duct (7). The flow control device (17) comprises a guillotine-type damper (17). The guillotine-type damper (17) provides reliable and efficient control of the gas flow from the filter plenary space (5) into the outlet duct (7). A collar (21), fluidly connecting the filter plenary space with the outlet duct, improves the gas flow into the outlet duct (7).

  • Patent number: 3997294
    Abstract: Gas treatment such as scrubbing or purificatory heating is carried out by treatment means in permanent gaseous communication with one end face of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. At the other end face conventional inlet and outlet gas collecting arrangements are provided. A plenum chamber beyond or containing the treatment means allows for flow reversal of the gas treated, so that it may repass through the heat exchanger. Since collecting arrangements are provided at only one end face, the concomitant sealing arrangements need only be provided at that end face, and the rest of a support structure for the heat exchange mass (and which may also support at least some of the further treatment means) may be made of materials chosen solely with a view to resisting the physical and/or chemical conditions likely to be encountered.
