State of the art prior to the request

Currently it is known that there is a serious operational and technical problem in the safety, quality of hydrocarbons, gases and drinking liquids and it is being that of contamination due to the appearance, formation, creation of microorganisms, microbacteria, bacteria, fungi, algae, corrosion. in said fuels, gases or liquids.

In the world of fuel storage it is known globally that there is this serious problem of contamination by microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, algae, which endangers the quality and even worse the operability of a storage plant, refinery and therefore its pipes, filters, pumping stations. This solution is also viable for any type of liquid and even for water tanks in the case of drinking liquids for human use.

In the petrochemical sector, the risk of contamination in all types of fuels and liquefied gases is serious, but even more so in aviation fuels such as kerosene, Avgas, JP-1/4/5/8/10, RP-1 being These are the most vulnerable due to the final use of the fuel and the consequences of a failure, clogging of filters, poor combustion due to lack of access, fluidity, flow of said fuels due to lack of quality, contamination, possible emulsion of said fuels to the systems. of combustion and propulsion of said aeronautical and aerospace devices.

In the case of refineries, operational failures due to this contamination are already classified as very serious and in addition to being economically costly to the operator. In many tanks, storage tanks, substances very similar to sludge appear in the lower part of these tanks, sludge which seriously damages the quality, density and fluidity of movement of the stored fuels. The beating action, movement in said tanks is also essential to later be able to separate the appearance of liquids like water and also try to obtain the maximum filtration of contamination.

When analyzing substances such as sludge, sludge from the bottom of the storage tank, a very high level of microbacterial, bacterial, fungal and algae formation presence was found. The formation of such contamination is known to be for various reasons including anaerobic. The creation of sludge, sludge comes mainly from the creation and subsequent increase of microorganisms, bacteria, algae, fungi, corrosion, as the fuel itself is the necessary nutrient for said bacterial growth and expansion in and through the entire product, stored fuel. and worse still are said bacteria located, integrated within and around the walls of the container, tank, tank and being the bacterial basis to contaminate new entry and storage of fuels.

The cleaning of the tank itself, even if it is of the highest level, not only supposes a very high cost for the technical stop but it has been proven the effective impossibility of being able to eradicate the bacteria at the moment of their appearance, since they are already indefinitely in any integrated place. the tank from inside a gasket, filter, stopcock, etc.

It is also understood that bacteriological attacks can create acids and these acids subsequently attack the walls, internal part, internal mechanisms, layers-films of internal protection of the walls of tanks made mainly of metals. Therefore, the problem is recurrent, continuous and vicious.

In many cases the specific additives are partially viable to control bacterial contamination but also in other cases and depending on the chemical composition of the hydrocarbon, having to introduce very high amounts and percentages of additives that in many cases also altered the composition of the fuel and new altering the properties of quality, operability, financial cost and energy values, which nullify the viability of the use of such additives at very high levels and stressing that the additives are only being used for the control of bacteria in some specific cases and not for the eradication as in the case of our patent in tanks, tanks, previously uncontaminated containers and braking them in already contaminated containers.

In addition, said chemical changes due to said bacterial contamination have been verified that they can even emulsify, increase the density of the fuels themselves, adding again another operational problem and final product quality.

We have also tried to create extreme scenarios with the use of additives so as not to create the possibility of crystallization or super saturated solutions at very low temperatures, even reaching the freezing point, which the patent is again essential because having such a high conductivity the possibility of freezing since it is at least 300% more difficult in contact with any type of liquid, fuel and freezing point, In the petrochemical sector there are chemical means to try to reduce or try to control the creation of this type of contamination, especially by incorporating specific and special additives to mainly prevent the appearance of corrosion and the decomposition of gums (gum) among many others.

In order to reduce the continuous growth of bacteria, volume, risk of emulsion which said bacteria are later transformed into sides, sludge, a “mixer” mechanism is used in these storage tanks to remove said sludge, muddy to ensure that These sludges do not block the filtration, discharge, drains of the fuels for their later use. Tests have been carried out as antimicrobial solutions with specific additives, even with the use of borate without solving the problem in question in an efficient way.

It is obvious from the existence of said contamination that said additives are not sufficient to solve this universal problem and this patent is the definitive solution.

The contamination tests to be able to evaluate the levels of formation of said contamination in a microbacterial, bacterial, algae, fungal way were made at temperatures from 5 ° C - 37 ° C for 10-15 days to evaluate said formation both in the fuel itself and also with the rubber (Gum) and corrosion inhibitors.

The contamination tests were made and appeared according to the level of additives, greater or lesser degree, on the following bacteria:

Rhodococcus sp.

Acinetobacter baumanii.

Sphingomonas spiritivorum.

Arthrobacter sp.

Sphingomonas paucimobilis.

Pesudomonas fluorescens.

Pesudomonas chlororaphis.

Brevundimonas vesicularis.

Corynebacterium sp.

Nocardia sp.

Xanthomonas maltophilia.

Flavobacterium sp. Flavpbacterium spiritvorum.

Micrococcus sp.

Agrobacterium radiobacter.

Flavobacterium indologenes.

Pseudomonas putida.

The same tests were performed with Na and K concentrations in control test studies.

There is no additive, chemical, mechanical, physical or combination solution worldwide that can cancel, eradicate the formation of these bacteria in any way that is possible through the application of our patent.

And polymer material.

For a material density, for example, 2.7 g / cm3 (Aluminum); 10.5 g / cm3 (Silver), 19.3 g / cm3 (Gold), 8.92 g / cm3 (Copper), 7.86 g / cm3 (stainless steel) or 0.9 to 1.5 g / cm3 (polymer material).

It is desirable that the sheet of material be relatively, chemically, inert to the closed or open container contents, encapsulated, molded, or housed for installation / fastening / application for the usable life of the container and / or the residence period of the contained in the container. The materials must be allowed common or special metallic metals, such as Niobium, Inconel, monel, vermiculite, titanium, nickel, Hafium, Ninomic, aluminum, magnesium, copper, gold, silver or stainless steel, or non-metallic, such as plastic materials, polymers and / or graphenes.

A thin sheet of material used in the present discovery, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, as an example, comprises a sheet of material 10 having a plurality of parallel lines P (Figure 3) of elongated rectangular openings (12), preferably grooves.

Each rectangular opening (12) and each line P of rectangular openings (12) extends parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the sheet.

Each rectangular opening (12) in a line P of rectangular openings (12) is spaced with respect to the preceding rectangular opening (12), and the rectangular opening (12) that follows it by an intermediate network (14) of solid and unperforated sheet of material.

In summary, to proceed longitudinally along the line P of rectangular openings (12), there is a rectangular opening (12) followed by an intermediate network (14), followed by a rectangular opening (12), followed by an intermediate network (14), and so gradually.

When forming a sheet with polygonal openings, the intermediate networks (14) of the contiguous lines of the rectangular openings are outside with respect to each other, in such a way that when proceeding transversely through the sheet following a line T perpendicular to the central axis of the sheet and passing through an intermediate network (14) of a contiguous longitudinal line P of rectangular openings (12), the following should be taken into account: a. the transverse line (7) must pass through the rectangular opening (12) of the next longitudinal line P contiguous with the longitudinal openings (12).

b. then, it must pass through an intermediate network (14) of the following longitudinal line P contiguous with the longitudinal openings (12).

c. then, it should pass through the rectangular opening (12) of the next contiguous longitudinal line of longitudinal openings, etc.

In this way, the rectangular openings (12) that are longitudinally understood, alternate with intermediate networks 14 transversely through the sheet (10). It is preferable that the length of each longitudinally extending rectangular opening, as it passes along a transverse line T of rectangular openings (12), is different from the length of the preceding rectangular opening (12) and from the length of the rectangular opening (12) that follows it.

In other words, the length of each longitudinally extending rectangular opening 12 is preferable to be different from the length of the next contiguous rectangular opening 12 extending longitudinally on a transverse line T across the width of the sheet , and furthermore, with respect to each rectangular opening (12), the length of each of the four closest rectangular openings (12) in the two closest longitudinal lines P of rectangular openings (12) should preferably also be different from that of the rectangular opening (12).

The lengths of the respective rectangular openings (12) extending longitudinally respective in a transverse line T through the width of the sheet, must be random with respect to each other and alternatively, the lengths of each respective rectangular opening (12) that extends longitudinally should increase progressively in length on a transverse line T across the width of the sheet or decrease in length.

In an alternative embodiment, the lengths of each longitudinally extending rectangular opening (12) are progressively increased in length on a transverse line T through the width of the sheet and the lengths of each longitudinally extending rectangular opening (12) in the following transverse line T progressively decreases in length across the width of the sheet.

The nominal length of the openings (12) ranges from about 10mm to about 15mm, desirably from about 12mm to about 15mm, and preferably from about 13mm to about 15mm.

Thus, a 10mm opening is followed by a 10.033mm opening, followed by a 10.06mm opening, and the width of each rectangular opening, or slot, should be from about 0.02mm to 0.06mm, preferably from about 0.03mm to about 0.05mm and preferably from about 0.04mm to about 0.05mm. The spacing between the arches of openings should be varied based on the properties of the material used for the sheet.

The intermediate network between openings, in turn, ranges from about 2.5 mm to about 4.5 mm, and thus a 3 mm intermediate network should be followed by a 3.5 mm one, followed by a 4 mm.

In this way, the irregularity is induced in the expanded perforated sheet and due to its configuration it produces a resistance to settlement and compaction.

A thin sheet of the material used in the invention, as illustrated in Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, becomes an expanded and perforated sheet (or with windows) of the material (20) of the invention. , and is provided with a plurality of plurilateral or polygonal openings (22), such as, for example, that illustrated with hexagonal openings, and at least one of the polygonal openings is irregular with respect to at least one of the polygonal openings adjoining.

For example, the sum of the lengths of the inner edges of the faces of a polygonal opening (22), for example lengths (22a), (22b), (22c), (22d), (22e), and (22f) of figure 9, determines a peripheral internal length of a polygonal opening (22) and the peripheral internal length of each polygonal opening (22) when proceeding along a transverse line T of polygonal openings (22), must be different from the peripheral internal length of the preceding polygonal opening and the internal peripheral length of the following polygonal opening (22). (Figure 8).

In other words, the peripheral internal length of each polygonal opening (22) is different from the peripheral internal length of the next contiguous polygonal opening (22) in a transverse line across the width of the sheet.

Furthermore, with respect to each polygonal opening (22), the internal peripheral length of each of the four closest polygonal openings (22) in the two longitudinal lines, closest to polygonal openings (22), should preferably also be different from the polygonal opening (22).

The peripheral internal lengths of the respective polygonal openings (22) in a transverse line T across the width of the sheet, must be random with respect to each other and of alternatively, the peripheral internal lengths of each respective polygonal opening (22) should progressively increase in peripheral internal length on a transverse line T across the width of the sheet or decrease.

In an alternative embodiment, the peripheral internal lengths of each respective polygonal opening (22) progressively increase in length in a transverse line T across the width of the sheet and the internal peripheral lengths of each respective polygonal opening (22) in the following transverse line T progressively decrease in length across the width of the lamina.

The term "irregular", as used herein in the context of the peripheral internal length of at least one of the openings that is unequal to the peripheral internal length of at least one contiguous opening, means that the numerical value of the inequality of the peripheral internal length with respect to the other peripheral internal length is greater than the variation in peripheral internal length produced by the variation in manufacturing or the inherent variation in manufacturing.

While the irregularity of at least one polygonal opening with respect to at least one contiguous polygonal opening has been described in terms of the peripheral internal length of at least one of the openings that is uneven to the peripheral internal length of the at least one contiguous opening, it must be understood that the irregularity can also be produced in other ways, such as having a different number of sides of the polygon (such as a pentagon or heptagon with respect to the hexagon) or in the length of one side of a polygonal opening that is different the corresponding side of a contiguous polygonal opening (i.e. greater than the manufacturing variance or tolerance as noted above) or the angle between two contiguous sides of a polygonal opening is different from the corresponding angle between the two corresponding sides of a contiguous polygonal opening, for example the respective lengths of the side edges of the openings may not be r all the same, (that is, at least one side may not be the same length as any of the other sides, so it provides an opening that has the configuration of an irregular polygon).

Thus, when pierced, expanded sheets are placed one on top of the other, it is not possible to align the polygonal openings and fit into each other, thereby establishing and reducing the effective thickness of the multiple sheets (20). An expanded and perforated (or windowed) sheet of the material (20) of the present invention preferably has a field of compression or compaction resistance (i.e., permanent deformation under a compression weight) of no more than 7.9% . Ideally, however, there is essentially no compression field in use.

The expanded and perforated sheet of material (20) is formed by tensioning sheets of grooved material (10) on wide wheels of different diameters placed in such a way that the output of the sheet of material can be regulated to an additional width between 50% and 100% of the width of the sheet of starting material, so as to ensure that the resulting openings form a plurality of polygonal openings (22) as described above.

The expanded and perforated sheet of the material (20) desirably has a surface area per unit volume of at least 5,200 times the contact surface of the liquids / vapors, polluting or non-polluting emissions, liquids, hydrocarbons contained in the closed containers of any type including pipes, tanks, containers particularly to inhibit, suppress, reduce, the boiling of liquids and preferably increase the contact surface of flammable liquids / vapors and gases 5,200 times in the closed containers or means of transport of said products such as hydrocarbons, gases, liquids, polluting or non-polluting emissions.

The term "contact surface" refers to the surface area of the container container that is in contact with the gaseous, aerosol or vaporization phase of the hydrocarbons, gases, liquids, polluting or non-polluting emissions contained in the container container, container, chimney, gas pipelines, etc.

Typically, flammable liquids (liquid, vapor, aerosol, or gas) are in contact with areas of the surface of the container walls where the flammable fluid, combustion, hydrocarbons, and sheet insertion of finished, expanded, and perforated material are located. increases the surface area in contact with the flammable liquid and gases by at least about 5,200 times the contact surface area, preferably at least about 5,200 times this contact surface area.

In one presentation, the expanded and perforated sheet of material (20) that is used in the present invention, and that is illustrated in (Figure number 13) as an example, can be configured as a shape that comprises a body (100) with a generally spheroidal external shape or configuration. The internal configuration of the body (100), generally spheroidal, comprises at least one strip of the expanded and perforated sheet of the aforementioned material, which is folded and / or curled and hollowed to form said spheroidal shape.

The generally spheroidal shape can be formed using a section of the expanded and perforated sheet of material of a proportional size about 20% of the width of the expanded and perforated sheet of material.

The external spherical perimeter of the spheroid (100) encloses a volume and the surface area of the material contained within that spherical perimeter, that is, within the spheroid (100), subject to the design requirements of the application, is at minus 1.5 square cm per cubic cm of said volume or wider if required. The surface area of the material must be at least 5,200 times the contact surface of liquid and gases contained in the container that encloses the flammable fluid, in particular to inhibit, suppress, reduce, contaminant or non-polluting liquids or emissions.

Preferably, spheroid 100 has a field of compression or compaction resistance, i.e., permanent deformation under compression, not exceeding 7.9%.

The structural strength of the final product can be modified according to the heat treatment used in the manufacturing process of the raw material.

In an alternative embodiment of this invention, the expanded and perforated sheet of material (20) used in this invention, as illustrated in Figures 10, 11 and 12 by way of example, is provided with a corrugated or sinusoidal wave (42) formed in it and the corrugated, expanded, perforated sheet of material (40), being inserted helically in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical shape is generally circular in cross section, and generally rectangular in longitudinal section, and in a later version of this cylindrical presentation, a sheet of flat, expanded, perforated material must be folded into the cylindrical shape. In a new form, the perforated sheet of material must be folded into the cylindrical shape such that sheet or corrugated foil depositions of the expanded and drilled material are formed in the cylindrical form.

Due to the corrugation (42) formed in the material sheet (40), with the material sheet (40) folded helically, the corrugation (42) causes an increase in the effective diameter of the cylinder and thus, increases the effective surface area contained within a certain external spherical perimeter of the cylinder, providing a wide inclusion of volume in cylinders with low mass and high internal effective area.

It is desirable for the cylinder to have a compression field, or compaction resistance, i.e. permanent deformation under compression, not exceeding 7.9%, and yet, ideally, during use there is essentially no field Of compression.

The unperforated sheet of material (1), from which it starts, must be provided as a continuous, unperforated sheet of material, and then the rectangular openings (12), or grooves, are formed in the continuous network in the configuration described above, such as slits, and in that case, the slotted net (10) must be transversely expanded by transversely tensioning the sheet of material (10), such as above a wheel positioned in such a way as to regulate the outlet of the material sheet with an additional width of 50% to 100% of the width of the raw material sheet, so as to ensure that the resulting holes form a plurality of irregular polygonal openings (22), such as previously cited.

The aforementioned is achieved by adjusting the position and tension of the expansion wheel of the production machine, and in doing so, the result is the ability to have the finished panel model walls more or less erect and, therefore, increase the compressive force of the finished expanded perforated sheet of material (20).

Optionally, the expanded and pierced net (20) may have a transverse sine wave (42) formed therein and the shape of the sling (42) is inserted or impressed in the lengths of the sheet of material (20) as a series of transverse curls or slings (42) along the length of the net that appear deep when the finished product is wound.

The cylindrical forms can be made by spherical winding of the sheets of expanded and perforated material mentioned above.

The spheroidal shapes (100) can be made by feeding the sheets of the material (20) which has been provided with a plurality of arches with a plurality of parallel openings (22), of which the longitudinal center is parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the sheet, introducing said sheet into a machine that has a mechanical contraption that comprises two concave semicircular sections that work in opposition to each other, and these concave sections (the movable central and the covering one, fixed opposite concave) can have a variable radius with a concave working edge.

The central part of the wheel-shaped contraption with the outer part similar to the rim of a bicycle, wheel 360 ° with a concave working edge with a friction surface, and the rotation of the feeding sheet in the form of a circular tubular cylinder against the rough surface of the opposing mechanical devices, the mobile power station and the fixed external one, causing the material fed in the form of a cylindrical tube to coil and exit in a spheroidal form.

It will be understood that the term any pressure at pressures of any range without limitation. The word high pressure refers to a pressure above atmospheric pressure, typically several multiples of atmospheric pressure, and that the term low temperature refers to temperatures below normal atmospheric temperature, typically temperatures below -20 ° C , or tens or hundreds of degrees below this temperature.

These pressure and temperature conditions allow certain substances that are kept in a gaseous state under atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions to be stored and transported in a liquid state and therefore occupying a much lower volume, making transport much more efficient.

The expanded three-dimensional alloys can be treated with low, medium, high intensity gamma waves to obtain a higher level of conductivity, change in the charge of electrons, protons and thus also being able to cancel any microbacterial, bacterial contamination in the manufacturing phase, thus increasing Maximum levels of pollution control in all phases and during the operational life of the three-dimensional alloy of this patent.
