Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a platform for oil production with a base body, which comprises an oil production system, and with a support structure for the base body.
  • Such platforms for oil production are generally known from the prior art. As a rule, such platforms are used offshore and have a support structure with which they are either fixed on a surface or can swim in the water.
  • the support structure is not essential for the present invention, so that it will not be discussed in more detail.
  • the platforms for oil production each have an oil production system with which oil can be extracted from an oil deposit. This is done regularly with the help of a drilling device that can penetrate deeper layers of the earth and extract oil from the reservoir to the surface and be transported to a storage location via pipelines.
  • the technology of the oil production system is also not relevant per se for the present invention, so that it is not dealt with in detail either.
  • the disadvantage of a platform of the prior art operated for oil production is that the oil extracted via such a platform is transported to a refinery via pipelines or via a combination of tankers and pipelines which is located in the mainland for oil processing.
  • Transporting the oil extracted on the platform to a remote refinery is costly and wasteful of material.
  • the costs arise from the construction and operation of pipelines as well as labor costs associated with reloading or forwarding. Material losses are caused by leakages, by unusable residual quantities in interim storage facilities, etc.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to optimize the production of an oil-based organic fuel.
  • the base body additionally comprises an oil refinery.
  • the idea underlying the present invention is to integrate a complete petroleum refinery into a platform for oil production. This may sound visionary at first, but it is over due to known processes, for example DE 10 2006 054 506 A1 . DE 10 2005 056 735 A1 and EP 1 538 191 A1 technically feasible.
  • the present invention is concerned with the constructive adaptation of a platform for oil requirements for the additional implementation of a method known, for example, from the aforementioned prior art.
  • other processes for processing petroleum can also be implemented on a platform for oil production according to the invention, and this can be demonstrated to be feasible are in any case the methods mentioned in the aforementioned prior art documents if the space is limited. In order to carry out the method, which is known per se, it is necessary to adapt the limited space on an oil platform. That is the aim of the present invention.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the petroleum refinery is arranged concentrically with the base body.
  • the concentric arrangement to the base body of the platform ensures a favorable weight distribution on the base body and thus on the platform.
  • the petroleum refinery comprises an annular container which is arranged essentially around the base body.
  • the ring container serves to hold petroleum or a petroleum mixture with various by-products, for example a catalyst and lime, which can flow in the ring container in a main direction.
  • the petroleum refinery has at least one mixing turbine.
  • a mixing turbine parts of the fluid flowing in the ring container are mixed with additives, such as a catalyst and lime, and fed back to the ring container.
  • the petroleum refinery has at least one distillation column. Vapor portions of the fluid flowing in the ring container can be distilled in the distillation column.
  • distillation column and the at least one mixing turbine are arranged on one level of the base body.
  • the ring container forms an annular barrier around the plane of the base body.
  • the ring container closes off the level of the base body provided for the oil refinery spatially and enables a geometrical arrangement of further components in the center of the ring container.
  • the figure shows a top view of a platform according to the present invention with an oil refinery integrated into the platform.
  • a conventional platform for oil production can be used, in which an oil refinery can be integrated with the usual means, but taking into account the design requirements according to the present invention.
  • the platform for oil production according to the present invention has a base body 1, which is shown schematically as a rectangle.
  • the base body will not represent an ideal rectangle in plan view, but will have a polygonal contour.
  • the ideal representation as a rectangle only serves to better explain the present invention.
  • An oil refinery 3 is connected to the base body 1.
  • the oil refinery 3 is connected to the base body 1 by a mechanical connection which is known to the person skilled in the art.
  • So supporting components (not shown) of the oil refinery 3 are attached to the base body 1 e.g. welded.
  • the petroleum refinery 3 can also be connected to the base body 1 with load-bearing components (not shown) via a detachable connection, for example by means of a screw connection.
  • a detachable connection for example by means of a screw connection.
  • Such a releasable connection by means of screw-supporting components is also generally known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the petroleum refinery 3 is arranged concentrically with respect to the base body 1.
  • the outermost part of the oil refinery 3 is formed by an annular container 5, which is arranged in a ring view around the base body 1 in plan view.
  • the base body 1 forms a working plane 7, on which eight mixing turbines 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8 are arranged in the present embodiment.
  • the ring container 5 projects upwards in the direction of the viewer above the working plane 7 and forms an annular barrier around the working plane 7.
  • fewer or more than eight mixing turbines 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8 can also be arranged on the working plane 7.
  • An oil delivery device 10 is also arranged on the working level 7 and is connected to the ring container 5 via a feed pipe 10.1 in order to introduce extracted oil into the ring container 5.
  • a distillation column 11 is arranged in the center of the working level 7 and extends upwards in the direction of the viewer. In other embodiments, a plurality of distillation columns 11 can also be arranged geometrically offset on the working plane 7, so that a favorable weight distribution is maintained.
  • a different number of mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 can also be expedient.
  • these are arranged concentrically on the working plane 7.
  • the eight mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 are arranged tangentially to an inside of the ring container 5.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 are cylindrical.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 are adapted to the circular arc on which they are arranged concentrically.
  • the ring container 5 is connected to the mixing turbine 9.1 via a first fluid discharge line 12.1. Likewise, the ring container 5 is connected to all other mixing turbines 9.2 to 9.8 via a fluid discharge line 12.2 to 12.8, respectively.
  • the mixing turbine 9.1 is connected to the ring container 5 via a fluid supply line 13.1. Likewise, the mixing turbines 9.2 to 9.8 are each connected to the ring container 5 by a fluid supply line 13.2 to 13.8.
  • the distillation column 11 is connected to a tank 17 via an outlet end 15.
  • a finished product for example diesel oil, can be removed from this tank 17.
  • the ring container 5 is connected to the distillation column 11 via a steam line, so that fluid components in the vapor phase are discharged into the distillation column 11.
  • the distillation column 11 itself is also not described in detail in the present invention, since it is already generally known from the prior art. Conventional distillation columns from the prior art processes mentioned at the outset can be used.
  • the distillation column 11 also includes a condenser, which is not shown, but which, in the present construction, is said to be water-cooled.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 ensure an intimate mixing of the catalyst with air. This intimate mixing essentially takes place through the catalytic CO 2 formation.
  • the tangential arrangement of the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 to the ring container 5 means that the oil-catalyst mixture in the ring container 5 is excited to move rapidly in the direction of the arrow (clockwise in the present embodiment), so that newly entering petroleum with the oil Catalyst mixture (the fluid in the annular space 5) is mixed well.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 are injected with so much air by changing the admission pressure that the reaction temperature is always set at about 270 ° C., at which the heavy components of the petroleum are completely converted.
  • the lighter parts of the petroleum evaporate at this temperature and the heavy parts of the petroleum follow the evaporation after the catalytic reaction.
  • the form of the air injection adapts the oil refinery to the changing amounts of extracted oil. If the flow rate of the petroleum drops, then the air injection pressure in the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 is reduced again and the reaction temperature is thus kept in the normal range between 250 ° C. and 300 ° C. It is important from a process engineering point of view that the supply of lime and catalyst is regulated depending on the production conditions. So a pH value of> 8 should be set. The throughput should also be set to a predetermined level at the standard temperature of 270 ° C by adding catalyst.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 arranged on the platform according to the invention consume about 1 MW in addition to the power requirement of the platform 1 with all additional units.
  • This current is generated in an additional generator with the feedstock of the diesel produced, that is to say the product to be removed from the tank 17, or in the case of gas utilization with gas.
  • the mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 or the at least one mixing turbine 9.1 to 9.8 suck the oil-catalyst mixture from the ring container 5, convert it
  • a mineral known from nature in osmosis is used as the catalyst. It is a cation-aluminum silicate with the cathodes potassium, calcium and iron. This is also contained in the coal as a mineral. In addition to the catalyst, lime or limestone is added to bind the acids so that the pH is above 8.
  • the proportion of the catalyst in the oil-catalyst mixture (fluid in the ring container 5) is about 3% by weight in the present embodiment.
  • the lime introduced is converted into salt by the sulfur and chlorine content of the petroleum, which is released depending on a viscosity measurement from the system. This is done by drawing current from a circulation pump that opens the bitumen valve when a limit value is reached.
  • the ring of the ring container 5 has an outer diameter of approximately 50 m (inner diameter approximately 48 m) and a height of approximately 2 m.
  • the distillation column 11 has a diameter of approximately 1.6 m.
  • the condenser has a cooling capacity of approximately 2MW.
  • 16 mixing turbines 9.1 to 9.8 are available. Compressed air is injected at 0.2 to 2 bar. Electric motors of the 16 mixing turbines have a power requirement of 2MW, which is covered by three diesel generators of 1MW each.
  • the extracted oil is fed into the ring container 5 together with 30 kg catalyst and 30 kg limestone (ground) via a screw conveyor.
