20080264261 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS ALLOWING FOR RESERVOIR AIR BUBBLE MANAGEMENT - Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to limiting a presence of air bubbles in fluidic media in a reservoir. Air passages may allow air to escape from fluidic media in a reservoir. Membranes may allow for trapping air bubbles in fluidic media before fluidic media enters a reservoir. A membrane may allow air to flow from a first reservoir containing fluidic media to a second reservoir while plunger heads within each of the reservoirs are moved within the reservoirs. An inner reservoir with a membrane may be moveable within an outer reservoir to allow air to move from the outer reservoir to the inner reservoir. An inner reservoir containing pressurized gas may allow fluidic media to be transferred to an outer reservoir. | 10-30-2008 |
20120073444 | FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR A COMPRESSOR STATION - A filtration system has a blowdown conduit and a filter unit. The blowdown conduit is adapted to be operably connected with a gas compressor station. The filter unit includes a filter housing, an inlet port, a pollution filter positioned within the filter housing to remove the pollutants from the vented gasses entering through the inlet port, and an exit port enabling the vented gasses to exit the filter housing once the pollutants have been removed by the pollution filter. | 03-29-2012 |
20120137889 | BUBBLE REMOVAL METHOD AND BUBBLE REMOVAL DEVICE - A bubble removal method is for removing a bubble from liquid whose viscosity is reduced when shear occurs. A vessel, including a liquid inlet and multiple liquid outlets, whose volumetric capacity is variable and a means for giving resistance to the passage of liquid between the inside and the outside of the vessel are used. The liquid is passed through the vessel against resistance and the volumetric capacity of the vessel is increased and reduced. The interior of the vessel is depressurized and pressurized by the means for giving resistance to the passage of liquid in conjunction with increase and reduction in the volumetric capacity of the vessel. | 06-07-2012 |

20090084267 | Bubble trap assembly for critical bioprocess applications - A bubble trap assembly for critical bioprocess applications. The assembly includes a disposable liner for placing in a fluid stream of a critical bioprocess application. The liner includes at least one gas port disposed on a top of the liner, and at least two fluid ports disposed substantially on the bottom of the liner. The fluid ports are adapted to be coupled in-line to the critical bioprocess application. A rigid vessel is included for housing the liner. The liner being sized to substantially conform to a shape of the inside of the vessel. The vessel includes at least one upper aperture for aligning with the at least one gas port and a bottom opening opposed to the at least one upper aperture. A bottom cap is included, removeably secured to the vessel and closing the bottom opening. The bottom cap together with the vessel substantially enclosing the liner. The bottom cap includes at least one lower aperture for aligning with the fluid ports. The bottom cap being formed by at least two cap portions for facilitating installation of the liner in the assembly. The at least two cap portions capable of being separated from one another. | 04-02-2009 |
20090308253 | Deaerating and Dissolving Apparatus, and Deaerating and Dissolving Method - The present invention provides a deaerating and dissolving apparatus and a deaerating and dissolving method which can carry out a process of deaerating a liquid or a process of dissolving a gas in the liquid as continuous processes, and moreover, at a relatively low cost. The deaerating and dissolving apparatus or the deaerating and dissolving method includes: a pipe which is configured to feed a liquid; a flow rate control section which is provided to a middle portion of the pipe and is configured to feed the liquid at a predetermined flow rate to a downstream side; a cavity forming section which is provided to a middle portion of the pipe downstream of the flow rate control section and is configured to produce a stationary cavity which is in contact with the liquid, and a pressurization/depressurization section which pressurizes or depressurizes the inside of the cavity, wherein the liquid is deaerated when the inside of the cavity is depressurized with the pressurization/depressurization section, and a gas is dissolved into the liquid when the inside of the cavity is pressurized with the gas supplied through the pressurization/depressurization section. | 12-17-2009 |
20100224071 | LIQUID MATERIAL DISCHARGE DEVICE WITH DEBUBBLING MECHANISM - A liquid material discharge device which can remove bubbles in a liquid material supplied to the device, can ensure a stable discharge amount of the liquid material, and can reduce the weight of a plunger section. The liquid material discharge device comprises a liquid material supply section for supplying the liquid material to be discharged, a measuring section having a measuring hole and a plunger sliding on an inner wall surface of the measuring hole to suck the liquid material into the measuring hole and to discharge the liquid material, a discharge section having a discharge port for discharging the liquid material, a valve section for changing over communication between the liquid material supply section and the measuring section and communication between the measuring section and the discharge section, and a debubbling mechanism provided in a flow path running from the liquid material supply section to the measuring section. The debubbling mechanism includes a first flow path ( | 09-09-2010 |
20110174159 | PUMP SUCTION GAS SEPARATOR - A gas separator on pipe structured to transport a liquid is provided. The gas separator includes a section of piping, located upstream of a pump, having an increased diameter which is in fluid communication with an overhead pocket. Fluid flow in the portion of the pipe having an increased diameter is at a slower rate than other portions of the pipe. The slower fluid speed allows entrained gasses to stratify and float to the top of the pipe whereupon the gas will flow into the pocket. Thus, the fluid downstream from the gas separator has a reduced amount of gas in the liquid flow. | 07-21-2011 |
