Abstract:
A system and method for clean combustion of waste hydrocarbon fluids produced during well testing operations, including a fuel inlet that receives the waste fluids and a stock hydrocarbon fuel, a fuel-dispensing unit coupled to the fuel inlet, and a gas-turbine engine coupled to the fuel-dispensing unit and driven the stock hydrocarbon fuel and/or the waste hydrocarbon fluids. An airscrew on a shaft of engine drives air into a premix chamber. A set of nozzles in the premix chamber is coupled to the fuel dispensing unit and disperse the waste hydrocarbon fluids into the forced air generated by the airscrew toward a pilot light mounted at the downstream end of the chamber. A combustion nozzle coupled to the downstream end of the premix chamber shapes and directs the resulting flame. A control unit is connected to the dispensing unit, regulators in the engine, and feedback sensors for providing control.
Abstract:
A method and s\ stem for sυpplying fuel are provided. The fuel supply system includes a supply of a flow of fuel wherein the fuel includes an amount of moisture in a first predetermined range, a supply of a flow of gas wherein the gas includes an amount of moisture in a second predetermined range and wherein the second predetermined range is less than the first predetermined range. The fuel supply system further includes a vessel configured to receive the flow of fuel and the flow of gas, mix the flow of fuel and the flow of gas, and separate the flow of fuel from the flow of gas wherein moisture is transferred from the flow of fuel to the flow of gas.

Abstract:
The inventive method relates to a conversion, in an extremely simple manner, of a heating system for heating oil to renewable liquid fuels, for example, purified raw glycerin, during which the burner is refitted with pulsed injectors, the heating chamber being provided with an evaporator chamber made of sintered material or fiber metal. The burner is heated by contact heat from the evaporator chamber. The burner is switched to a partial load and start-up operation via computers. The flue is converted to a flue having a concentric waste gas pipe including water separation and a purifying filter, and the tank is filled with a protective gas. The heated injectors are also used for introducing additives, reagents or catalysts into reactor chambers, e.g. during the production of hydrogen. The targeted heating of the injector nozzle leads to the increase in the heat content in propellant or fuel to an optimal combustion or reaction. The inventive method also involves: heating and increasing the pressure of the fuel; adding additives that lower the flash point; regulating the quantity of fuel by a proportional valve or pulsed injector, and; purifying the fuels by using a high-pressure filter. An anti-swirl device is employed during the supply of combustion air.
