Abstract

Inhibitor Substance for Preventing Explosion (INSUPREX) compound consists of a set of the most important elements of aluminum component; in addition to the basic nano material is activated carbon, and Graphene in some other Samples. INSUPREX works absorption replies pressure reaction resulting from the vapors and gases within the reservoirs containing the oil, crude oil or any of its derivatives when exposed to any unusual circumstances, such as very high temperatures resulting from air, fire or friction or collision and therefore this article prevent the explosion of the tank. INSUPREX consist of "NANO" Composite mainly focus on Aluminum, and some of the following additives in a special & sensitive percentage that lead to perform the target usage (Inhibiting Explosion), especially the nano-particles of Activated Carbon or Graphene. INSUPREX acts to absorb the reaction of the pressure that results from vapors, gases inside the tanks that contain any petroleum derivatives during their exposure to any unusual conditions.

3- Disclosure of Invention

Ingredients of INSUPREX:

Table (1) contains all the ingredients of INSUPREX:

INSUPREX represent a unique technological revolution because of very high capacity to absorption and adsorption heat and highly surface area due to the presence of nanomaterials. The INSUREX is composed of Nano Materials as listed in the Table (1).

INSUPREX is an Explosive Prevention Substance relies on special Honeycomb-structured of mainly Aluminum alloy of Nano materials, to provide extraordinary protection from explosive combustion in fuel tanks and other vessels containing flammable liquids and gases.

These mesh unlocked working on the absorption and adsorption of vapors and reduce the pressure caused them when their fuel tanks or tanks to the circumstances of fire or welding or friction or temperatures unusual and therefore an explosion does not happen under any circumstances of these conditions.

It is worth mentioning that the beneficiaries of this discovery INSUPREX, the first broad- based oil companies and storage of petroleum products and their derivatives transport companies. It can also circulate INSUPREX use in all models of transportation that rely on fuel. This INSUPREX makes a secure work from Explosion, the blast and delaying fires that leads to saving fatalities, equipment, time, effort and money.

Detailed Description:

Explosion Inhibitor and minimizing the evaporation of crude oil and its derivatives

(INSUPREX):

The basic components of the nanocomposites manufacturer:

1. INSUPREX is consists of several elements in different proportions in nanoparticles scale characterized it as good conductors of heat and electricity.

2. In addition to that, INSUPREX is insoluble in petroleum products.

3. INSUPREX is also characterized by its ability to high absorption and adsorption and especially the thermal energy absorption and this leads to the blowout prevented and evaporation.

4. INSUPREX were prepared using high-precision technology at different rates from a mixture of ultra pure aluminum (99.98%) and nano-particles of activated carbon, and/or Graphene nano-sheets as a combination of elements present such as Silicon (Si), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and (zinc (Zn), constitute a small percentage.

5. The preparation and processing of active carbon and Graphene nano-sheets in the lab were treated by chemical techniques to ensuring create a larger surface area to be able to absorption and adsorption.

6. INSUPREX are constituted in the form of thin slabs forming a mesh in a special Honeycomb-structured connected with each other in the fixed dimensions, and the density of INSUPREX is found to be 2.48 g/cm³.

How to make up the INSUPREX and Dimensions:

1. Constitute the INSUPREX depending on the desired content format (tin and/or tube and/or tank and others forming).

2. INSUPREX are placed the inner walls in the form of an internal jacket.

3. INSUPREX are placed inside tin or tube or tanks or any other form contains a substance to be protected from the Explosion or blast.

4. INSUPREX are placed on the cylinder body (Mesh shaped) of dimensions internal diameter.

5. INSUPREX can be fabricated in any desirable required form &technology to be utilized & suited for any applications &Industry.

The Amount of Material Needed to Prevent the Explosion:

1. INSUPREX from the barrel of tin or tube or placed tanks containing nanocomposites to be protected from the blast without compromising the design, without any deformation of internal or external shape of the tank.

2. After some experiments found that, by insertion of INSUPREX inside a tank full of Gasoline; INSUPREX occupied as min. as (1 : 2) % only from the Gasoline Volume in the tank.

3-Mechanism of INSUPREX to prevent the explosion of Crude Oils Tanks:

1. The occurrence of ignition it is necessary the presence of the source of the primers and a mixture of fuel and air (oxygen).

2. The explosion happened as a result of a chemical reactions is composed as a result of the energy absorbed by thermal i.e. they endothermic vehicles and escalate this thermal energy when it decomposes flammable materials and interaction (petroleum derivatives).

3. If the owner of the decomposition process will be large quantities of gases, which expand the influence of the decomposition temperature, they can perform in accordance with mechanically as a result of pressure, consisting of gas if the decomposition of more than 300 m / sec speeds, this process is called combustion by the internal combustion machined and if decomposition faster in it is called the explosion and oil derivatives is very stiff material inflammable and prefix-flammable and is easy explosives when colliding with heat or ignition.

4. Practical experience has shown that the gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature when proven its size. If the temperature of the size proportional directly proportional to the amount of heat given to the gas and thus increased the temperature rose, and if the cooling commensurate with the drop in temperature, according to the general law of gases.

5. The thermal energy that gives the gas causing the increased movement of particles velocity It is clear that the movement of molecules speed determine the degree of force in increasing the movement of particles speed and that determines the degree of force that collide with the walls of the vessel containing the gas, and it increases the pressure on the walls of the vessel when the rising temperature gas due to the addition amount of heat.

6. When you add the compound INSUPREX forms and colors, for example, in a tin- containing crude oil or petroleum products and when exposed to heat, directly or indirectly resulting from fire - collision - friction, maintenance - welding procedures.

INSUPREX have the geometric shape of a cylindrical mesh polygon connected. When you generate the resulting gases exposed tin that contains petroleum products and laced with a compound INSUPREX to the conditions of direct fire, the gas movement are wildly in straight lines and gas molecules can be considered small full flexibility balls and distances partial gas is relatively large and strong cohesion of the gas is very weak and then moving gases and vapors the effect of the heat generated randomly collide with each other and collide with the inner walls of the tin and a collision between the gas molecules and the collision INSUPREX flexible sense the kinetic energy of the molecules fixed gas before and after the collision. It was found by conducting practical experiments that INSUPREX capable of absorption and adsorption resulting strikes and also works at the same time to reduce the movement of particles substance that is directly proportional to the amount of heat.
