    摘要: A method destroys organic liquid contaminants contained in a plurality of below-ground volumes by smoldering combustion. The method applies heat to at least a portion of a first one of the volumes of organic liquid and forces oxidant into the first volume of organic liquid so as to initiate self-sustaining smoldering combustion of the first volume of organic liquid. The method may terminate the heat applied to the first volume of organic liquid. Next, the method modulates the flow of the oxidant into the first volume of organic liquid so as to cause at least a portion of the first volume of organic liquid to migrate and come into contact with another one of the volumes of organic liquid, so as to propagate the smoldering combustion. In an alternative embodiment, the flow of the oxidant may be modulated to establish a substantially stationary combustion front.

    摘要: A method for using untreated produced water to generate steam and simultaneously producing diluents is disclosed. The method includes a combustion process for generating steam for hydrocarbon recovery using untreated water and, an optional process for recovering combustion byproducts to assist in hydrocarbon recovery or solvent injections. Specifically, a novel combustion method and a double-tube heat exchanger are used to generate steam while minimizing or eliminating water treatment steps and boiler fouling. Low value pitch, also known as asphalt, is used for combustion fuel. In addition to the steam generation, byproducts of the combustion process can be utilized in solvent injections or as a diluent.

    摘要: A system for combusting particulate solids comprises a hopper, a furnace and a secondary afterburner. The furnace further comprises at least one exothermic continuous reaction vessel (ECRV) that has a volume that is significantly smaller than the volume of the furnace, which operates at a temperature that is higher than the temperature in the remainder of the furnace, the temperature being high enough to auto-ignite the particulates when they enter the ECRV. The ECRV rotates in unison with a conveyor that delivers the solid particulates from a hopper. The apparatus is energy efficient, with few working parts, and provides combusted particulate solids that can be disposed of directly without environmental concerns.

    摘要: This invention provides a system and method for efficiently and completely combusting oil in mixture with particulate solids. A furnace (kiln) having a feed nozzle with a lead screw drives the mixture from a feed hopper. This nozzle includes forced-air jets/ports at its tip providing makeup air and allowing atomization of the mixture. The nozzle thereby directs the mixture into a rotating combustion chamber that is tilted downwardly from the front toward a solid waste outlet port at the rear. Uncombusted fuel and air backflow to an upper, secondary chamber near the primary chamber front, and are completely combusted at a high temperature. Gasses exit a flue that can include a heat exchanger. This heat exchanger can be operatively connected to a heating device or other mechanism that converts the heat into usable energy. The nozzle can include a cone with axially tilted air ports about its perimeter.

    摘要: An improved two-stage combustion chamber for burning waste hydrocarbons such as crank case oil, spent motor oil, transmission fluid, lubrication dopes, and heavy bodied gear lubes. The combustion chamber is formed from a plurality of spaced apart, stacked annular rings that form a flame containment housing having superheated surfaces. The flame containment housing contains the flame of an atomizing oil burner suitable for burning the variable viscosity waste hydrocarbons. The annular rings include outer walls and inwardly extending flanges that intercept unburned fuel droplets and combustion byproducts, vaporizing the droplets and/or stimulating secondary combustion. The annular rings are removable and replaceable, and are supported in spaced-apart relation by spacers on a plurality of support rods. Combustion byproducts and/or unburned fuel droplets are deflected by the flanges of the annular rings and vaporized or subjected to secondary combustion, thereby minimizing condensation on the relatively cool surfaces of a heat exchanger positioned close to the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is thus useful in a heat transfer apparatus for heating water or air with waste hydrocarbons.
