Multi-layer steam grid for heat and mass transfer in a tailings solvent recovery unit

Номер: US20120247944A1
Автор: Ali MILANI, Jianmin Kan
Принадлежит: Total E&P Canada Ltd

A grid of pipes for conducting steam at a pressure greater than a vessels' operating pressure and delivering the steam throughout the grid forms the internals for a tailings solvent recovery unit. The delivery of steam throughout the grid aids in maintaining a relatively low partial pressure throughout the vessel to act as a driver for mass transfer. Conducting the steam at the higher pressure through the pipes in the grid permits a surface of the pipes to be heated to a temperature higher than possible in a conventional vessel, increasing the heat transfer to the feed stream which flows through the grid.

Settling Chamber for Separation of Large, Plugging Particles Upstream of A Hydroclone

Номер: US20130186576A1
Автор: Bjorklund Daniel P., Chapados Robert T., Marlett James M., Sweetman Robert W.
Принадлежит:

Evaporation technology is commonly used to to treat process waters that contain low solubility salts. The technology typically used is a brine boncentrator which uses seeded slurry techniques internal to the falling film evaporator which allows these scaling salts to co-precipitate with the seed crystals instead of scaling on the heat transfer surface. Such systems often employ hydroclones to recover and recycle seed crystals that would otherwise leave the process with the brine blowdown stream. These hydroclones (or other separation devices) often have regions of tight clearance that are susceptible to plugging which can lead to suboptimal process availability and greater maintenance obligations. The inventors have developed an apparatus called a “settling chamber” for separating large solid particles from the feed stream to the hydroclone to eliminate plugging, improve availability and reduce maintenance requirements. 1. An apparatus for removing large solid particles from an evaporator stream being fed to a hydroclone downstream of said evaporator , comprising:a circulating slurry comprising a brine-concentrating seed bed, anda settling region downstream of said brine-concentrating seed bed, wherein said settling region decreases a fluid flow velocity between an evaporator and a hydroclone downstream of said evaporator, thereby removing, by gravity separation, at least a portion of solid particles flowing from said brine-concentrating seed bed to said hydroclone.2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said settling region prevents said particles from being fed to the hydroclone.3. The process of claim 2 , wherein said hydroclone has an underflow claim 2 , and wherein said underflow of the hydroclone is directed back to a recirculating water to maintain a circulating slurry seed bed sufficient to retard scaling of a heat transfer surface in an evaporator.4.

A compact and portable liquid concentrator includes a gas inlet, a gas exit and a flow corridor connecting the gas inlet and the gas exit, wherein the flow corridor includes a narrowed portion that accelerates the gas through the flow corridor. A liquid inlet injects liquid into the gas stream at a point prior to the narrowed portion so that the gas-liquid mixture is thoroughly mixed within the flow corridor, causing a portion of the liquid to be evaporated.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of mitigating scale in phosphoric acid and ammonium phosphate plants. Scale-mitigating compositions of the invention can be added to phosphoric acid before or during the concentration in the evaporator cycle of a phosphoric acid plant. The compositions retard the formation of scale on surfaces in contact with the phosphoric acid, and thus time between cleaning is extended and plant productivity increased. Further, the scale that forms is softer and more easily cleaned from surfaces, reducing non-operation time of the plant and/or evaporator. Methods of mitigating scale formation in phosphoric acid production and phosphoric acid handling plants are disclosed. In the methods, scales accumulate more slowly and are softer, more tractable, and more easily cleaned from surfaces to which they adhere.

A solar powered humidification-dehumidification desalination system comprises or consists of a supply of seawater or brackish water referred to hereinafter as saline water passing through a dehumidifier condenser. The saline water passes a dehumidifier condenser and is preheated in the dehumidifier condenser or immediately before the dehumidifier condenser and thereafter due to the condensation process. A single humidification stage or multiple humidification stages include humidifier(s) and respective solar collectors. The solar collectors heat water and the heated water passes through the respective dehumidifiers to evaporate the preheated saline water to thereby separate pure water from the brine. The heated air is reheated and recirculated through the humidifying stages and dehumidifier and the desalinated water from condensation in the dehumidifier is collected and processed. Recirculating the brine from each humidifier utilizes the latent heat therein for more efficient evaporation and less energy consumption. 1. A solar humidifier-dehumidifier desalination system for desalination of saline water , adjacent a source of seawater or the like , said system comprising:a plurality of evacuated tubular collectors, a first storage tank for cold seawater and a second storage tank for heated seawater, a humidifier, and a condenser/dehumidifier;pumping means for moving saline water from said source of seawater or the like to and through said solar thermal collectors for heating said saline water to a temperature within a range of between about 50° C. and 90° C. and moving said heated and humidified air from said humidifier to and into said condenser/dehumidifier;separating and delivering desalinated water to a first outlet and hot seawater to a second outlet for preheating seawater to said hot water storage tank and returning a portion of said concentrated seawater to a disposal; andsizing said system to maintain its operation during periods of darkness.2.

The invented system used in wet cooling tower, restore outlet fog of cooling tower into collection basin and consequently cooling water cycle. This invention consists of three main components; pump and its pertaining piping, waterfall and micron fog eliminator. In the first stage, the air containing fog is passed through a waterfall before exhausting. This action causes some portions of fog to condensate and fall down, remaining droplets of the fog grow and together with air cross the fog eliminator blades. Fog's droplets are entrapped between blades, leave the air, and restore to the tower. Therefore, humidity of exhausted air from tower will be effectively reduced. 1- A counter flow wet cooling tower system for cooling warm water comprising; a pump; a waterfall header; a micron fog eliminator; blocking wall , a main collection basin , a first basin; a hose; fills packing; a suction fan; multiple nozzles; wherein said micron fog eliminator comprises multiple blades having specific thickness; wherein said blades absorb water droplets at least 10 microns and higher; wherein said blades are positioned perpendicular with respect to said first basin; said system further comprising a warm water inlet and a cooled pressurized water outlet; wherein said pressurized water outlet transfers cooled water accumulated inside said major basin to said waterfall header; wherein said cooled water falls from said waterfall header forming a waterfall effect against a waterfall wall; wherein said waterfall wall is adjacent to said first basin; wherein said hose connects said first basin and said main basin and transfers said cooled water inside said first basin to said main basin; therefore creating a water cycle inside said tower; wherein warm water enters said tower by said warm water inlet , then said warm water is sprayed directly on said fill packing via said multiple nozzles; wherein said fill packing is in direct contact with cold/ambient air that flows freely through said fills ...
