DEVICE FOR PRODUCING STEAM CONDENSATE FROM NATURAL GAS AND ASSOCIATED PETROLEUM GAS IN FIELD CONDITIONS FOR ANALYSIS OF TRITIUM CONTENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N1/22 E21B49/08 G01T1/167 G21F9/02 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of radio ecological monitoring of world underground nuclear explosion regions within the limits of oil-gas basins, in particular, to small-sized devices for preparing combustible natural gas samples under field conditions and transportation of combustible natural gas samples to safe aqueous samples for further determination of tritium content therein under laboratory conditions by liquid-scintillation spectrometry. A compressor for supply of combustible natural gas or associated oil gas to an injection burner, a water-cooled condenser and a container for collecting condensate of water steam-condensed combustion products, wherein the injection burner is set so that its nozzle is directed vertically downwards for feeding combustion products into the inlet of the water-cooled condenser arranged below the axis of its axis, and burner holder is fixed to condenser with possibility of changing distance between burner outlet and combustion products inlet into the condenser from 4.7 to 5.0 cm depending on composition of combustible gas are serially installed in a single housing and interconnected in the device. The water-cooled condenser is in the form of a tube bent at a right angle with inner diameter not more than 15 mm changing into a vertical tube, with height of not more than 20 cm and inner diameter not more than 40 mm, closed funnel-shaped bottom with holes for draining condensed combustion products into the container installed below. A cooled tube is coaxially mounted inside the condenser vertical tube, on which there are at least three cones installed coaxially with coaxial clearance of not less than 2 mm between internal surface of condenser and external edges of cones.

EFFECT: production of steam condensate under field conditions safe for transportation by any type of transport to a stationary laboratory excluding required transporting of gas sample in steel bottles.
