HYDROCARBON-BEARING FLUID PROCESSING PLANT AND PLASMA REACTOR INCORPORATED THEREWITH Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C10G35/04 C10G35/16 

FIELD: oil and gas production.

SUBSTANCE: proposed plant comprises major catalytic reactor 1 with fluid feed main line 2, extra catalytic reactor 3, main line 4 to keep processed fluid at pressure, circulation main line 5, first and second mixers 6, 7, pump, and first and second crude fluid feed main lines 9, 10. Note here that every catalytic reactor 1, 3 represents a hollow tank with nozzle 11 fitted at its inlet. Inlets of major reactor nozzle 11 and extra reactor nozzle 11 are connected in parallel to pressure line 12 of pump 8. Inlet of said pump is connected to outlet of second mixer 7. Inlet of the latter is connected to outlet of first mixer 6 with its inlet connected to extra reactor outlet and crude fluid feed main line 9. Catalytic additive feed main line 13 is connected to extra reactor tank. Outlet of the latter is arranged at distance L from outlet section of nozzle 2. Said distance makes 0.5 to 0.8 of extra reactor nozzle outlet section diameter d. Vacuum gages 14 are connected to nozzle flow sections of every catalytic reactor 1, 3. Inlet of circulation line 5 is connected to major reactor outlet 1 while its outlet is connected to inlet of second mixer 7. Said major reactor 1 represents a plasma reactor equipped with high-voltage 10-100 mA-current source. Said extra reactor 3 doubles as a supersonic jet mixer. Additionally, proposed plant comprises degasser 16, cooler 17, second pump 18, steam-gas mix discharge line 20, low-molecular component condensate return line 21, and degassed fluid feed line 22. Second crude fluid feed line 10 is connected via second pump 18 to inlet of degasser 16. One outlet of said degasser is connected via line 20 to cooler 17 while another outlet is connected via line 22 to inlet of second mixer 7. Outlet of cooler 17 is connected via line 21 to line 22.

EFFECT: higher efficiency and quality, expanded range of products.
