CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓN.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención tiene aplicación en áreas de producción petrolífera, donde es necesario descontaminar suelos o materiales impregnados con residuos de hidrocarburos. Para ellos es necesario tener a mano medios para efectuar dicha labor, sobre Ia cual es debido transportar dichos medios hasta el sitio de descontaminación. Los medios de extracción deben proceder de manera eficaz en su labor al mismo tiempo que deben ser de fácil instalación para proceder. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN.The present invention has application in oil production areas, where it is necessary to decontaminate soils or materials impregnated with hydrocarbon residues. For them it is necessary to have on hand means to carry out said work, on which it is due to transport said means to the decontamination site. The means of extraction must proceed effectively in their work while they must be easy to install to proceed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Comúnmente, existe variedad de dispositivos para extracción de hidrocarburos. Dichos sistemas actuales comprenden cilindros que rotan para mover el material al mismo tiempo que introducen calor para efectuar Ia labor de evaporación. Para incrementar dicha labor, se disponen de una pluralidad de cadenas internas para encaminar el material hacia Ia parte posterior del cilindro hacia Ia evacuación de los residuos descontaminados.Commonly, there are a variety of devices for hydrocarbon extraction. Said current systems comprise cylinders that rotate to move the material while introducing heat to carry out the evaporation work. To increase this work, a plurality of internal chains are available to route the material towards the rear of the cylinder towards the evacuation of decontaminated waste.
Dichas cadenas están dispuestas en varias secciones a Io largo y alrededor del cilindro. Esta pluralidad de cadenas hace que el dispositivo aumente sustancialmente su peso al mismo tiempo que produce cargas innecesarias de transmisión para mover el cilindro.Said chains are arranged in several sections along and around the cylinder. This plurality of chains causes the device to substantially increase its weight while producing unnecessary transmission loads to move the cylinder.
Adicionalmente, las unidades del arte referencian una configuración que no hace posible Ia extracción de hidrocarburos a partir de fluidos pues Ia configuración del cilindro y cadenas proporciona un uso exclusivo para material sólido y no admite material fluido.Additionally, the units of the art reference a configuration that does not make possible the extraction of hydrocarbons from fluids since the configuration of the cylinder and chains provides an exclusive use for solid material and does not admit fluid material.
En Ia Tecnología TPS (THERMAL PROCESS SOLIDS) el material contaminado se transporta a Io largo de un ducto (carcaza estática) con el uso de dos hélices (rotational auger), dentro del cual se transfiere el calor suficiente para evaporar los fluidos. Este diseño del arte anterior, es uno de los menos eficientes en Io que se refiere a transferencia de calor, en razón a que se requiere gran precisión (gracias a Ia diversidad de pesos y dimensiones de los materiales tratados) entre las hélices y Ia carcaza para evitar material solidificado que impida y actué como una barrera de transferencia de calor entre el área de transferencia y el material a procesar. Adicionalmente en esa misma configuración, se genera una solución complicada para limpiar, tanto para las aspas de dichas hélices como Ia carcaza, al tener un sistema estático (carcaza) y un sistema complejo dinámico (auger). Un ejemplo de ellos, en que en Ia practica, una película de aire de 1 mm de espesor puede ofrecer Ia misma resistencia al flujo de calor que una película de agua de 25 mm, una de hierro de 1 , 7 metros o una de cobre de 12 metros de espesor. Siendo esto un concepto demostrado y encontrado en las diferentes literaturas térmicas, es posible hacerse una idea de Ia incidencia como barrera de transferencia de calor de un material solidificado sobre Ia superficie de transferencia.In the TPS Technology (THERMAL PROCESS SOLIDS) the contaminated material is transported along a duct (static housing) with the use of two propellers (rotational auger), within which sufficient heat is transferred to evaporate the fluids. This design of the prior art is one of the least efficient in what refers to heat transfer, because it requires great precision (thanks to the diversity of weights and dimensions of the materials treated) between the propellers and the housing to avoid solidified material that prevents and acts as a heat transfer barrier between the transfer area and the material to be processed. Additionally in that same configuration, a complicated solution is generated to clean, both for the blades of said propellers and the carcass, having a static system (carcass) and a system dynamic complex (auger). An example of them, in which in practice, a 1 mm thick air film can offer the same resistance to heat flow as a 25 mm water film, an iron of 1, 7 meters or a copper film 12 meters thick. This being a proven concept found in the different thermal literature, it is possible to get an idea of the incidence as a heat transfer barrier of a solidified material on the transfer surface.
Igualmente, los sistemas anteriores comprenden líneas de salida de gases que se obstruyen a raíz de Ia acumulación de sólidos alrededor del tubo horizontal que conduce los vapores del cilindro al sistema de condensación, los cuales se inician a formar desde Ia base de Ia carcaza del tornillo de alimentación.Likewise, the previous systems comprise gas outlet lines that are clogged as a result of the accumulation of solids around the horizontal tube that conducts the vapors of the cylinder to the condensation system, which begin to form from the base of the screw housing. of feeding.
Adicionalmente, Ia Tecnología TPS al igual que otras, comprende Ia necesidad de tratar el materia al vacío. Ello proporciona riesgos. Un Consultor Técnico de Ia Sociedad Swaco, en su reporte, aconseja un vacío de operación no mayor de 0,127 cm de agua (0,05 Water Inch), siendo esto un error, por cuanto este valor no es un estándar de operación para las diferentes tecnologías que utilizan el mismo principio de Evaporar; extraer; y, Condensar. El vacío seguro y óptimo manejado en una cámara de evaporación debe tener un valor pre-establecido para cada tecnología, el cual se obtiene del diseño previo del sistema al analizar teórica y prácticamente los valores de perdidas de presión tanto estáticas como dinámicas a Io largo del mismo. Este valor de vacío debe garantizar que se evacué el flujo máximo de vapor sin permitir que al final del cilindro Ia presión absoluta sea inferior a Ia atmosférica. Este concepto evita incidentes de seguridad y optimiza Ia producción. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN.Additionally, TPS Technology, like others, understands the need to treat the matter in vacuo. This provides risks. A Technical Consultant of the Swaco Society, in its report, advises an operating vacuum of not more than 0.127 cm of water (0.05 Water Inch), this being an error, since this value is not an operating standard for the different technologies that use the same principle of Evaporate; extract; and, condense. The safe and optimal vacuum handled in an evaporation chamber must have a pre-established value for each technology, which is obtained from the previous design of the system when analyzing theoretically and practically the values of both static and dynamic pressure losses throughout the same. This vacuum value must ensure that the maximum steam flow is evacuated without allowing the absolute pressure to be lower than atmospheric at the end of the cylinder.
