Determination And Control Of Wellbore Fluid Level, Output Flow, And Desired Pump Operating Speed, Using A Control System For A Centrifugal Pump Disposed Within The Wellbore

ActiveUS20080067116A1Enhance market appealBroad possible marketLevel controlWind motor controlEngineeringSystem parameters
A method and apparatus for determining a fluid level and / or output flow during operation of a centrifugal pump, are provided, which may be used for production of gas and / or oil from a well, and include a vector feedback model to derive values of torque and speed from signals indicative of instantaneous current and voltage drawn by the pump motor, a pump model which derives values of the fluid flow rate and the head pressure for the pump from torque and speed inputs, a pumping system model that derives, from the estimated values of the pump operating parameters, an estimated value of fluid level and other pumping system parameters. Controllers responsive to the estimated values of the pumping system parameters control the pump to maintain fluid level at the pump input, near an optimum level, or within a safe operating range and / or output flow from the pump.

Hydraulically integrated solids/liquid separation system for wastewater treatment

A system and method for treating wastewater includes a treatment container for receiving and treating wastewater and a mixing / aeration system disposed in the treatment container. Wastewater is pumped under pressure from the treatment container through a solids / liquid separation system, preferably comprising multiple parallel membrane bioreactors, to separate the solids and liquids in the wastewater. Liquid retentate from the solids / liquid separation system is cycled back to the treatment container via the mixing / aeration system. The closed-loop system and method for solids / liquid separation and aeration / mixing provides for reduced equipment requirements and energy usage during operation.

Apparatus and Method of Referencing a Sucker Rod Pump

There is provided a method and system to determine the position of a sucker rod pumping system without a position sensing device during production pumping. A pump control system of the sucker rod pumping system includes a controller coupled to a database, with the controller configured to access an rxless torque value in the database. With the stored rxless torque value representative of toggle points of the crank arm during an initial calibration pumping cycle, the controller further is configured to continuously sample the rxless torque value of the system and determine the crank arm position in relation to the sample rxless torque value. The controller adjusts the pumping system for optimal operations, without a crank arm position sensor during production pumping by identifying a toggle point and setting the crank arm position estimate equal to the value corresponding to the crank position at the identified toggle point.

Methods Of Manufacturing Paint Roller Covers From A Tubular Fabric Sleeve

A method of manufacturing paint roller covers is disclosed in which the paint roller covers are manufactured from a seamless, tubular fabric sleeve having a backing made at least in part from a material having a lower melting point than material used for the pile of the seamless, tubular fabric sleeve. The seamless, tubular fabric sleeve is placed onto a cylindrical member, and heat is applied to cause the material having the lower melting point in the backing be activated to cause the backing of the seamless, tubular fabric sleeve to remain in a cylindrical configuration. The activated tubular knitted pile fabric may be finished into paint roller covers by combing and shearing the pile fabric to a desired length, beveling the edges of the paint roller covers, and vacuuming stray fibers from the paint roller covers.

A needleless injection device and method for injecting a food subject is disclosed in which one or more types of liquid food additive are individually and / or simultaneously delivered to a food subject within a sealed injection chamber or compartment. The needleless injection device and method of the present invention utilizes rapid, high pressure injection bursts to completely and uniformly inject the food subject, allowing different food subjects or different food additives to be sequentially injected in an efficient and instant manner. The needleless injection device and method for injecting minimizes contamination by totally enclosing the injection process within a sealed chamber, and by eliminating the need for the injection nozzles to contact, or be placed immediately adjacent to the food subject.
