BENJAMIN eannswon'rnr; or rear amnion, rnxas.
' 'orn-rorrme Application filed my 14;
" it may concem I Be it known that I, BENJAMIN GALLswon'rmr, a subject 'of'the King o f Great Britain, residing at Port Arthur, 1n the county of J elferson and State of'Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improve-. 'mentsin an Oil-Topping. Plant, of which the following is a specification.
This-invention relates to new and useful improvements in'an oil topping. plant.
One object of the. invention is to provide a device of the character described which is primarily intended for topping. crude petroleum, that is, for extracting the lighter elements such as gasoline and kerosene there from, and in the process, ridding the oil of water, leavingv a residuum which is suitable for fuel oil (or which may be further treat ed in the process of refinmg'the same). In refining crude petroleum; particularly heavy petroleum byi stills now in common use, the water contained in the oil, when heated,
often causes an expansion and foaming of the oil to such a degree that the still runs over, causing a waste of the oil and retard ing the refining process; It is the objectof this invention to provide a device of the.
character described whereby the water may be wholly or partially extracted from the oil during a preliminarystage of-refinement, and in such a manner, there will be a miniincident to the evaporation of the water the result that the succeeding or final process will not be retarded or interfered with.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described which is simple in construction, and which be cheaply and easily erected, and which,
' coils of pipe. For this-reason, the deflecmay is eficient for the purpose intended. With the above and other objects in view,
the invention has particular relation to cer f tainnovel features of constructlon, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,
wherein:
Figure 1, is avertical sectional view of the device taken on the line 1-1 of Figure 2. 3
Figure 2, is a transverse sectional viewv principal part of the heat from the furnace and the main refining process takes place atv the bottom of the receptacle, where the oil j rises to submerge said coils. "Consequently,
taken on t e line 2-2 of Figure 1, and I Figure is an enlarged fragmentaryend Beferring now more particularly toQ the a i. T.
191a. aerial no. 310,538.
ra gs wherein likenumerals of refer-- ence designate similar parts in each of the Y figures, the. numeral 1, refers-to a furnace and located adjacent thereto, there is the container 2. Within this container, thereare a plurality of pipes 33, arranged in vertically extending coils, one. end of eachpipe communicating with the furnace, and the other ends communicating With the manifold, arranged abovethe furnace, and leading from this manifold, there is the outlet pipe 5, connectedto which is the suction fan 6, which induces a current of hot air from the furnace through the pipes 3.
As above stated, the pipes 3 are arranged" in vertical coils, being composed of parallel sections arrangedone above the other, and connected at their respective ends to form a continuous conduit. Each section .of each pipe is located within a hopper, said hoppers consisting of downwardly converging de-..c vflectors 7,7, formed of metallic plates which are anchored at their respective ends to the correspondlng ends of the receptacle 2, and spaced a suitabledistance from-the respectivecoils of pipe. A'bove each coil, there is an inlet pipe 8, said pipes havingtheirum dersides perforated, and the crude oil is admitte'd'tosaid pipes 8, from the manifold 9 into which the 011 is fed through the inlet pipelO. C-
When the oil strikes the heated coils, the
sene are vaporized, and rise in the receptacle and passinto the domes 11,11, and thence out through the conduits 12, to the con-.
pended incident to evaporation, causing a oaming or ebullition ofthe oil aroundthe tors 7, 7, have been. providedtoconfine the oil, and direct itonto thecoils" underneath.
The oil' thus gradually finds its way down over the succeeding coilsto the bottom of quired' degree to cause it to give off the point. These submerged coils absorb the 'the unsuhmerged coils have a much lower temperature than they wouldotherwise have, and are not sufficiently heated to cause-car- I hon to form on them.
As above stated, the lower turns or'se ctions of the coils which are submerged in the oil collecting at the bottom of the receptacle, perform part of the refining I recess, in
heatin the oil collecting in sai receptac e to a high temperature, causing itto giveofi any mov by the unsubmerged coils, necessary lighter elements.
If the receptacle is not insulated, there will be a certain amount of condensation on the inner walls of the receptacle 2, and this 1 will trickle down into'the, trough at 3, carried by the inner wall of the receptacle near the bottom'thereof, and may be led ofl out through the outlet conduits 1t, 1t. A'guage 15 is groyided at one end of the receptacle "cats the amount of oil therein and leading from the bottom of the receptacle,
' there is a drain pipe 16, from which the asoline, water or kerosene, not re,
neaehae heavier, aw eolllected in the receptacle may be drawn ed to he used as fuel or for further refiningas desired.
tll.claimis: g I w I A device ofthe character] described, including a receptacle, a furnace arranged ad jacent thereto, an outlet manifold, flue pipes connected at one end directly into said furmace and arranged in vertical coils, in said receptacle and their other ends terminating in' said manifold, oil inlet-pipes arranged above the respective coils and whose under! sides are'proridedwith perforations through which crude oil may be discharged onto the re ective coils, downwardly. convex-gin baes arranged on opposite. sides of eac of the respective turns of the coils and having their lower edges spaced apart throughout their length, and provided to direct the oil passing over each turn down onto the turn underneath, and an outlet leading from the receptacle above the lower coils In testimony whereof I have'signed my name to this specification the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
