RU2013134823A - METHOD FOR LIFTING LIQUID MEDIA TO SURFACE AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION - Google Patents

Abstract

1. A method for lifting liquid media to the surface, which includes lowering into the liquid medium two columns of pipes connected by a dispersant and operating on the airlift principle, injecting a gas or mixture of gases into the liquid medium and transporting the raised liquid medium to the place of processing under the action of gravity forces, characterized in that that to lift a liquid medium in the form of volcanic lava from magma lakes of active or dormant volcanoes, a mixture of fumarolic gases released from the raised lava and captured during its transportation to the place of processing is used as the gas injected into the lava, and when there is a lack of gases to lift the lava into it additionally, a non-combustible gas or a mixture of non-combustible gases is injected. A device for lifting liquid media to the surface, including a lifting and gas supply string of pipes connected to each other by means of a disperser, a compressor for injecting a gas mixture that controls the outflow of a liquid medium, a gas separator installed directly above the lifting pipe, and a tray for transporting the raised pipe to the surface liquid medium under the action of gravitational forces to the place of its processing, characterized in that to lift the liquid medium in the form of volcanic lava from magma lakes of active or dormant volcanoes, the receiving container for the lava raised to the surface is hermetically closed with a heat-shielding casing, the bottom of the container has a slope to the side transport tray, the gas separator is connected by a gas outlet pipe to a compressor that injects a mixture of gases into the disperser, while the gas outlet pipe is connected both to the disperser and to an additional gas storage tank�

Claims (2)

1. The method of lifting liquid media to the surface, including lowering into the liquid medium two pipe columns connected by a dispersant and working on the principle of airlift, injecting gas or a mixture of gases into the liquid medium and transporting the raised liquid medium to the processing site under the action of gravity, characterized in that to lift a liquid medium in the form of volcanic lava from magma lakes of active or sleeping volcanoes, a mixture of fumarole gases released from the rising lava and trapped in the lava is used as the gas injected into the lava Processes for its transportation to the processing site and with a deficiency of gases for lifting lava it additionally injected incombustible gas or a mixture of non-combustible gases. 2. A device for lifting liquid media to the surface, including a lifting and gas supply pipe string communicating with each other by means of a dispersant, a compressor for pumping a mixture of gases, providing control of the process of fluid flow, a gas separator mounted directly above the lifting pipe, and a tray for transporting the raised to the surface of a liquid medium under the action of gravitational forces to the place of its processing, characterized in that for lifting the liquid medium in the form of volcanic lava from magma lakes volcanic or sleeping volcanoes, the receiving tank for the lava raised to the surface is hermetically sealed with a heat shield, the bottom of the tank is sloping towards the transport tray, the gas separator is connected by a gas pipe to a compressor that pumps a mixture of gases into the dispersant, while the gas pipe is connected to both the disperser and and with an additional gas storage tank, for receiving excess emitted gases or to cover their shortage, and the transport tray is equipped with sectional heat-insulating covers, in which there are holes are connected with containers for the collection of gases evolved during transportation of the liquid medium, and to stabilize expansion pools flow and its temperature by forced heating from external sources.
