INSTALLATION FOR TRAPPING THE VAPORS OF THE HYDROCARBONS FROM THE AIR-VAPORS MIXTURES FORMED AT THE OIL PRODUCTS STORING AND TRANSFER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B01D53/14 B01D53/18 

FIELD: oil-producing industry; oil-processing industry; installations for trapping the vapors of the hydrocarbons from the air-vapor mixtures formed at the oil products storing and transfer.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the oil-producing industry and oil-processing industry. The installation for the trapping the of the vapors of the hydrocarbons from the air-vapors mixture formed at the oil products storing and transfer contains: the absorbing apparatus, the refrigerating machine, the heat exchangers, the pump, the feeding and withdrawing pipelines of absorbing agent, the air-vapors mixture and the purified air, the means of automation including the valves, the gates, the sensors and the assembly of the automatic control of the installation operation. At that the absorbing apparatus is made in the form of the horizontal disk-shaped heat-exchange apparatus, which is mounted inclined and with the capability of its adjusting concerning the axis in direction of the outlet of the absorbing agent from it, in the capacity of which the diesel fuel is used, and the installation itself is made in compliance with the modular approach. The absorbing apparatus with the pipe ducts of feeding and withdrawal of the air-vapor mixture, the air and the absorbing agent with the mounted on them means of the automation, the pump and the heat exchangers form the contours of the air-vapor mixture and absorption, which are linked among themselves by the internal space of the absorbing apparatus and are located in the separate block-box. The refrigerating machine and the assembly of the automatic control of the installation operation are disposed outside the block-box and are connected to the heat-exchanger disposed on the pipe duct of feeding of absorbing agent, and with the means of automation. The invention allows to increase considerably the completeness of trapping of the hydrocarbons, to increase profitability and to improve the installation ecological compatibility.

EFFECT: the invention allows to increase completeness of trapping of the hydrocarbons, to increase profitability and to improve ecological compatibility of the installation.
