20100078358 | MERCURY REMOVAL PROCESS - A process is disclosed for decreasing the level of elemental mercury contained in a liquid hydrocarbon stream by a) contacting the liquid hydrocarbon stream with a water stream containing an oxidizing agent for conversion of at least a portion of the Hg(0) to Hg(II); b) extracting at least a portion of the Hg(II) from the liquid hydrocarbon stream into the water stream, thereby forming a treated liquid hydrocarbon stream and a waste water stream containing water and Hg(II); and c) separating the treated liquid hydrocarbon stream from the waste water stream. | 04-01-2010 |
20100210889 | MERCURY REMOVAL FROM HYDROCARBONS - A process is disclosed for removing mercury from a liquid hydrocarbon stream by contacting the mercury-containing liquid hydrocarbon stream with ferrous halide at moderate temperatures and without preheating the liquid hydrocarbon stream, or subjecting the liquid hydrocarbon stream to a heat treating step, immediately prior to contact with the ferrous halide particles. | 08-19-2010 |
20110068046 | MERCURY REMOVAL FROM WATER - Methods and apparatus relate to removal of mercury from water. The removal relies on transferring mercury from an aqueous stream to a natural gas stream upon contacting the aqueous stream with the natural gas stream. Processing of the natural gas stream after used to strip the mercury from the aqueous stream removes the mercury from the natural gas stream. | 03-24-2011 |
20110195364 | AUTOMATED FLARE CONTROL - Methods and apparatus relate to control of smoke suppressant flow rate to a flare that disposes of combustible gas, such as waste from refineries and chemical plants. One or more detectors produce signals that enable separate monitoring of both particulate emissions from the flare and combustion efficiency of the flare. Adjusting the flow rate of the smoke suppressant to the flare in response to such dual monitoring facilitates operation of the flare so as to manage environmental pollution caused by unburned volatile organic compounds and smoke emitted from the flare. | 08-11-2011 |

20110068059 | MERCURY REMOVAL WITH SORBENTS MAGNETICALLY SEPARABLE FROM TREATED FLUIDS - Methods and apparatus relate to treatment of fluids to remove mercury contaminants in the fluid. Contact of the fluid with active outer surfaces of particles magnetically separable from the fluid loads the particles with the mercury contaminants. Magnetic separation then removes from the fluid the particles loaded with the mercury contaminants such that a treated product remains. | 03-24-2011 |

20080233300 | Thermosetting powders comprising curing agent adducts of polyesters and strong, flexible powder coatings made therefrom - The present invention provides thermosetting polyester powder or epoxy-containing acrylic powder compositions comprising one or more curing agent adduct of a polyester, preferably a linear polyester, wherein when the said curing agent adduct comprises an adduct of one or more polyepoxy compound, the said polyepoxy compound has an average of 2.01 or more epoxy groups per molecule. The compositions provide flexible coatings, films and capstocks having improved impact resistance, especially for use in automotive and architectural applications. To improve impact strength of coatings and films provided thereby, the compositions comprise curing agent adducts of one or more polyepoxy compound chosen from triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and triglycidyl trimellitate with a carboxyl functional polyester having a carboxyl equivalent weight of 602 or more. In addition, to further improve the impact strength of coatings and films provided thereby, the compositions may comprise one or more adjunct curing agent, such as glycoluril, an aminoplast resin or a blocked isocyanate. | 09-25-2008 |

20100313245 | AUTHENTICATION ENGINE FOR ENROLLMENT INTO A COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for enrolling a user into an authentication system. In some embodiments of the invention, a user completes a first portion of the enrollment or setup process using a first computer environment, but is not permitted to complete the enrollment or setup process from the first computer environment. The system permits the user to complete the enrollment or setup process only from a second computer environment different from the first computer environment. In one embodiment, the second computer environment is any computer environment outside of the first computer environment. | 12-09-2010 |
