    摘要: An automated method for controlling flare of a gas oil separation system includes determining that a gas flare is indicated as non-routine based on a gas flare process variable exceeding a target value for gas flare; activating an automated detection and minimization of flare (ADMF) process executed by ADMF logic; determining, by the ADMF logic executing ADMF process, that a process variable value for each of a plurality of pressure indicator controllers exceeds a corresponding setpoint value for each of the plurality of pressure indicator controllers; and based on the process variable value of each of the plurality of pressure indicator controllers exceeding the pressure indicator controller setpoint value: identifying a tag number for each of the plurality of pressure indicator controllers; and causing a notification to be sent to an operator to inspect the pressure indicator controllers.

    摘要: A method and apparatus, for improving the control and the efficiency of in-situ combustion (i.e. burning of oil spills atop bodies of water) of combustible waste materials on land or sea to cleanup such waste, that is also less complex than similar apparatuses, whereby the apparatus traverses over a surface containing combustible material, allowing for vortex flow incineration of the material to occur inside a combustion chamber, aided by a vortical flow of air which is controlled for greater combustion efficiency. Compared with current methods and apparatuses to cleanup similar waste, the present method requires minimal moving parts, is mobile, is low cost, is easy to construct, enables high-quality combustion, burns faster and more complete, produces low emissions, incinerates waste material on land and water, and mitigates the creation of combustion residue which thereby mitigates the adverse effects of such combustion residue that smothers ocean life.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for the combustion of biomass material employing a swirling fluidized bed combustion (SFBC) chamber, and preferably a second stage combustion carried out in a cyclone separator. In the combustion chamber, primary air is introduced from a bottom air box that fluidizes the bed material and fuel, and staged secondary air is introduced in the tangential direction and at varied vertical positions in the combustion chamber so as to cause the materials in the combustion chamber (i.e., the mixture of air and particles) to swirl. The secondary air injection can have a significant effect on the air-fuel particle flow in the combustion chamber, and more particularly strengthens the swirling flow, promotes axial recirculation, increases particle mass fluxes in the combustion chamber, and retains more fuel particles in the combustion chamber. This process increases the residence time of the particle flow. The turbulent flow of the fuel particles and air is well mixed and mostly burned in the combustion chamber, with any unburned waste and particles being directed to the cyclone separator, where such unburned waste and particles are burned completely, and flying ash is divided and collected in a container connected to the cyclone separator, while dioxin production is significantly minimized if not altogether eliminated. The system exhaust is directed to a pollutant control unit and heat exchanger, where the captured heat may be put to useful work.

    摘要: A system for the combustion of waste products for the extraction of heat energy in a clean pollutant-free medium. The system includes a swirling air-cyclonic type incinerator having means for controllably consuming fuel in the form of waste products of various grades and heating values. Incinerator outlet means are provided for transmitting gaseous combustion products to a heat exchanger, a filtering device, and ultimately to a point of beneficial utilization. Through a plurality of ducts, control valves, and pumping means, a selectably variable volume of oxygen necessary to support combustion is taken from the ambient. The remaining gas flow to the incinerator for such purposes as creation of a swirling flow and cooling is pumped from the outlet side of the heat exchanger. By thus recirculating and utilizing the oxygen depleted exhaust products for incinerator functions in lieu of ambient air, the noted functions may be obtained without adding energy to heat the ambient air and without increasing the mass flow in the overall system. The temperature extant at the outlet of the incinerator may be readily controlled and the oxygen content of the combustion supporting gases may be directly regulated in accordance with the specific requirements of the particular fuel being burned.
