Background
Along with being continuously increased of world population, it is necessary to use more continuable energy processes to support more population。In order to extract oil with pump from ground, all parts of the world has drilled many oil wells, and these oil wells are once dry up and just going out of use。
Meanwhile, a completely self-contained development track gone on by bio-fuel, and wherein biomass are principal focal points to the conversion of alcohol-based fuel。
Due to the oil embargo of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OrganizationofthePetroleumExportingCountries, OPEC), started algae from 1978 and diatom is studied much and develops。Before 1978, JackMyers and BesselKok has published works AlgalCulture " FromLaboratorytoPilotPlant ", and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MassachusettsInstituteofTechnology, MIT) is approximately in nineteen fifty and has carried out mass propgation project on roof (rooftop)。Country rechargeable energy laboratory (NationalRenewableEnergyLaboratory is subsidized when fuel develops Ministry of Energy (DOE) office (DepartmentofEnergy's (DOE) OfficeofFuelsDevelopment), NREL) former water biological species plan (AquaticSpeciesProgram, ASP) 16 years to define and to determine the commercial viability that algae is changed into energy time, research increases。1998ASP final report confirms that chlorella and diatom are the plants of most primitive form, thus most effective on cell division and growth because they will not as terrestrial plant in the basic structure of such as root, stem, leaf consumed energy。ASP is concluded that, due to the original nature of microalgae, it is contemplated that the oil yield in the per unit area soil of microalgae is 30 times of terrestrial oilseed crops。But, the focus of ASP report is being prepared in biodiesel from algae lipid, and not on synthetic crude。
1998ASP final report highlights owing to weather variations in temperature uncontrollable with in season causes impotentia to maintain the key issue in the unlimited algae pond that consistent high algal biomass growth rate causes。
It addition, it is pointed out, do not use the replacement algae industrial-scale production that unlimited algae pond is designed almost without prospect。
Further, owing to maintaining the difficulty of high yield organism, algae production cost is therefore recommended to analyze。According to nutraceutical availability, light intensity, temperature and CO2Determine algal biomass productivity ratio。The impact of light, nutrient and temperature is the property taken advantage of (multiplicative)。
Complete to indicate the calculating of the required temperature and pressure that reacts。Along with the reduction of relative dielectric constant, water is more is the effect playing solvent, and this is partly due to polarity and reduces。Use Arrhenius equation, have calculated that for variable temperature and constant pressure, or the dissociation constant of water of variable pressure and steady temperature。
Thermal spalling (thermalspallation) is the process applying at a relatively high heat flux to hard rock。Being called in the process of peeling in this area using superthermal fluid to dissolve rock, quick stress causes that surface particles departs from from rock。

Use such pipe cleaning objects such as wiper (petroleum industry term), it dissolves (due to water-heat process depolymerization) and and returns original state never in oil and gas when being injected in tubular reactor, but scavenging duct I.D. and O.D。
Some beneficial aspects of the present invention include:
Wiper close friend design makes the incrustation scale (scale) on the heat transfer stream side contacted with formation fluid (geothermal reservoir) easily remove;
A. wiper close friend design is that heat-transfer fluid flows in the internal diameter (I.D.) of pipe with the key difference of Previous designs。Wiper works when overhauling I.D. rather than O.D. of pipe the most efficiently。
Use demineralization unit (DMIN) to take out mineral via cooling or magnetic b field and be used for resale (auxiliary income stream)。
Working fluid that fin (fin) on heat-transfer pipe transfers heat to be included in sleeve pipe and serve as baffle plate to interrupt the eddy current that compounder systems (19) produces, this forces generation convection heat transfer' heat-transfer by convection in tubular reactor。Fin can also be positioned on tubular reactor。
So that there is the blender/blade/propeller of convection heat transfer' heat-transfer by convection in tubular reactor in mixing capsule pipe working fluid;
Drive the gear-box treating to be provided the down-hole blender of power by ORC unit;
Geothermal reservoir fluid and pipe O.D. isolate available extremely low downtime and are removed from I.D. by incrustation scale, because this structure need not remove pipe fitting (if not some months, be also that several all nothings make a trip and downtime is overhauled in down-hole);
Use the convection heat transfer' heat-transfer by convection of the velocity of rotation of (multiple) blender;
Bio oil is stable: bio oil processing in downstream will occur in top (topping) unit thus isolating light fraction, distillation and 6 heavier light wood material, it is then subjected to downstream oxygenate (oxygenate) and recovery of nutrient element procedure of processing, just leaves facility door afterwards and delivers for refine or petrochemistry。By little top end unit and recovery of nutrient element are incorporated in ReactWell base structure, can specifically adjust the selected cutting (selectcuts) of hydrocarbon, adapt it to the fluid catalytic cracker (FCC: " cat cracker (cat-crackers) ") in given refiner or petrochemistry complex and delayed coking unit, thus optimizing finished product ASTM specification, make valuable recovery of nutrient element in ReactWell facility reach maximum simultaneously。The key difference of the top end unit of ReactWell is that the use of Fossil fuel is separated (de-couple) by it, thus Fossil fuel is separated into selected light fraction, distillation and weight 6 oil tower bottom distillate。ReactWell uses underground heat ion isolation technology to complete oil fractional distillation, and this technology uses the loop circuit heat pipe of ground thermal drivers to utilize latent heat capillary flow and piezoelectric to drive Density Separation, thus producing voltage in response to geothermal temperature gradient and stress from hydraulic head。Thus, due to the temperature, capillarity, stress and the voltage gradient that are selected by underground heat, wick material, piezoelectric selects and gravity produces and maintains, there is liquid phase separation in underground。
In some cases, along with the passage of the power lifetime operatively descending reactor assembly, due to the permeability reduction being associated with incrustation scale and obstruction, underground heat and associated gradients are likely to be insufficient for reactor condition。Furthermore, it may be desired to run tubular reactor at relatively high temperatures。Thus, (make outflow CO by burning2Be recycled to algae pond), electric heater or Columnating type solar generating (CSP) tubular reactor inlet and working heat transfer fluids in advance be likely to be proved to be the effective solution of the pressure break again and well stimulation (simulation) postponing reservoir。
The advantage of embodiment of the present invention includes:
Cleaning/pigging equipment is used to remove incrustation scale/dirt;
Use operating heat exchange fluid heat reservori fluid isolator so that it is on tubular reactor, do not produce dirt;
Use (multiple) underground agitator forced convection heat transfer;
Use ground lower piezoelectric/hot particle that stress transmission is become heat;
Use underground catalytic agent;And
Use underground steam wither (vaporcollapse) produce latent heat。

Detailed description of the invention
Exclusively hot tubular reactor (hydrolysis, depolymerization, decarboxylation, and thermal degradation)
The existence of downhole temperature and pressure causes and maintains water-ground thermal response and thermal depolymerization, and it produces the geothermal energy that can use in soil。Basement rock temperature along with change in depth is used as reference temperature driving force。The tubulose depolymerizing reactor section filling the water not standing forced circulation in sleeve pipe will be modeled。
Water-ground thermal reactor
Table 1: depolymerization variable interested
The water being loaded with algae from ground runway, unlimited pond or settling tank system is injected in closed circuit water-ground thermal reactor to down-hole。When the pressure and temperature of the down-hole water containing algae exceedes air and ambient temperature, algae and other organic matters stand hydrolysis and part thermal degradation thus forming carbon, CO2, flue gas, hydrocarbon and heat containing amino acid whose rich in mineral substances water。Tubular reactor is predominantly located in sleeve pipe, but extend to sleeve pipe externally enter open end region。Sleeve pipe contains hot water, and this hot water is static or is circulated by pump blood circulation, is under natural water pressure head or is pressed by the ground stood from rock stratum, simultaneously with ground power back balance。Exemplary figure 1 illustrates。
In one embodiment, when arriving deeper along with pipe, tubular reactor can bend thus allowing biomass close to bigger thermally hot rock to obtain the surface area increased。
Ground source heat is likely to press with being subject to or be not affected by。
In some embodiments, the degree of depth of subsurface reactor can in the scope of 33 feet-40,502 feet (10m-12,345m)。In some embodiments, tubular reactor outer tube can have 1 inch of diameter to 100 feet (25mm to 30m), in tubular reactor, pipe can have 1 inch of diameter to 100 feet (25mm to 30m), and sleeve pipe can have 1 inch of diameter to 100 feet (25mm to 30m)。Some embodiment can have bending or tipping tube, in order to the time in the reactor is longer。Tipping tube can have a series of gradient, moves to deeper along with it and becomes level more gradually。When exploring oil gas, exploitation and geothermal well can be used in the present invention, will suitably adjust the size of tubing used in this type of place so that it mates thereto。Such as, in the well of length about 5,000+ foot (1,524+m), pipe diameter will be likely about 12 to 120 inches (30-305cm)。
In some embodiments, it is understood that there may be more than one tubular reactor。
In some embodiments, the temperature needed for effecting reaction is likely larger than 100 DEG C, the highest 2,000 DEG C, and the pressure needed for effecting reaction is likely 14.7psig (203kPa) to 40,000psig (275,892kPa)。
According to the temperature and pressure scope in reactor, it may happen that heat of liquefaction is chemical or water-heat process in reactor when T and the P in water is within the scope of some:
100 DEG C to 374 DEG C (subcritical water) and 14.7psig (203kPa) to 30,000psig (206,944kPa);
374 DEG C to 500+ DEG C (supercritical water) and 14.7psig (203kPa) to 30,000psig (206,944kPa)。
Some embodiments can use any kind of organic matter to manufacture product in reactor under associated temperature and pressure condition。In certain embodiments, polymer can be used for reacting in solvent (such as: water) in subsurface reactor as organic matter。
Some embodiments can use organic production chemicals, fuel or hydrocarbon, and this depends on the organic matter used。
In some embodiments, it is understood that there may be exclusively heat pipe part (tubular), this exclusively heat pipe part there is multiple pipe fitting, it has for obtaining the coiling tubing option of forced convection heat transfer increased in one or more underground heat ore deposits。Flow out geothermal fluid stream and can flow into organic Rankine bottoming cycle (orc)。Organic Rankine is made up of carburator/preheater, and described carburator/preheater uses from the heat and the evaporation work organic fluid that flow out underground heat tubular pump circulation of fluid。Work organic fluid (such as: normal butane) fluid steam drives turbine, and gas turbine exhaust steam can be carried out forced draft cooling, and hot-air is used for dry run, and water is cooled for the warm other for the offer of algae pond subsequently。Then the work organic fluid of condensation can be recirculated back to carburator for reheating。Turbine is connectable to injection pump and electromotor thus producing electricity。
The embodiment with tube-shaped heat pump cycle can provide the adjustable temperature to water-underground heat and depolymerizing reactor to control by the number of adjustment pump circulating hot water flow velocity and coiling tubing insert。The exemplary of this feature figure 3 illustrates。Some embodiments can use any heat-transfer fluid flow through reactor and adjust temperature。
In some embodiments, temperature of reactor can regulate in the following way: increases or reduction pump rate of circulating flow, increases or reduce tubular reactor flow velocity, raises or reduces tubular reactor inlet temperature or rising or reduction pump circulation reinjects temperature。
Table 2: terrestrial heat pump circulation key variables
If pump circulation delivers enough heats via forced convertion, then temperature required in order to reach, slight depth is likely to enough for reactor。When being absent from tubular pump circulation, limited owing to conducting heat in tubular pump circulation, sleeve pipe and open end region, down-hole, therefore given geothermal energy resources are likely to need deeper drilling depth。
In some embodiments, pump circulation pipe can have 1 inch of diameter to 100 feet (25mm to 30m)。
Some embodiments can use heat exchanger to extract energy from the heat-transfer fluid of heat。The example of spendable heat-exchange apparatus includes Rankine, Carnot, Stirling, HeatRegenerativeCyclone, thermoelectricity (Peltier-Seebeck (peltier-seebeck) effect), Mesoscopic, Barton, Stoddard, Scuderi, BellColeman and Brayton。In other embodiment, incendivity flue gas product is thus being heated for the heat-transfer fluid in heat exchanger。Heat-transfer fluid can be used for drying, producing each side of electricity, reacting by heating device, or produces mechanical energy。

The product that flows out of tubular reactor can containing aseptic rich in mineral substances water, carbon and hydrocarbon/admixture of gas。Depolymerization, hydrolysis, deacidification and thermal degradation process result in hydrocarbon ils/gas/carbon/carbon dioxide mixture。Solid carbon and hydrocarbon are formed by the combination of the depolymerization of underground, hydrolysis, deacidification and thermal degradation。Some embodiments can include separating equipment with the standard oil/water/gas body of gas for separating hydrocarbon。
After separation, the outflow water of the rich in mineral substances of the tubular reactor of the heat of oil-free can return to open wide algae field track systems or other biological system。In some embodiments, total hot water returns volume and may be set to the 1/3 of runway water volume so that the 1/3 of runway water can be overturn by every day and process。
In some embodiments, the admixture of gas of separation and carbon dioxide can be burnt to produce electricity, heat and carbon dioxide。Be recycled back into algae pond or break tank (breaktank) at carbon dioxide before or after, can it be injected in tubular reactor effluent to down-hole to assist pumping and to be injected in effluent stream。
In some embodiments, the full-size of reactor is the function of the effluent flow velocity of water-underground heat depolymerizing reactor, temperature, content of mineral substances, amino acid content and carbonization, depends on geothermal energy resources, the tubular reactor degree of depth, pump cycle rate and direction。
The environmental variable affecting reactor can include ambient temperature, wind speed, cloud amount, evaporation rate, precipitation, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure。Critical process variables, except including algae the pool size such as degree of depth, width, length and circulating load (circulation), also includes reactor effluent flow velocity and temperature。
