AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for producing synthetic fuel require large-scale facilities and separate tanks for stirring, reacting, and separating fuel oil and water, leading to inefficiencies and increased space requirements.

Method used

A reaction and separation tank system with an inner reaction tank and outer separation tank, utilizing a double-pipe structure for the separation pipe to adjust outlet height, allowing simultaneous and continuous reaction, separation, and discharge of oil and water based on specific gravity differences.

Benefits of technology

This configuration enables efficient production of synthetic fuel in a compact setup, reducing space requirements and increasing yield while achieving complete separation of oil and water.

Abstract

This invention provides a reaction and separation tank that can perform multiple processes in a single unit when mixing oil and water to produce synthetic fuel. [Solution] To continuously perform the process of mixing and reacting water and oil, which have different specific gravities, and then separating the two liquids, the system is equipped with reaction / separation tanks T3 and T4, which consist of an inner reaction tank T3 and an outer separation tank T4. The inner reaction tank T3 reacts the mixed liquid, which is introduced by a stirring pump, while stirring it. The mixed liquid is taken from the bottom of the reaction tank T3 and discharged into the outer separation tank T4 via a separation pipe 3 that is sent to the top of the separation tank T4. The discharged mixed liquid is separated into two types based on the difference in specific gravity and discharged from the oil outlet 4a at the top of the separation tank T4 and the water outlet 4c at the bottom of the separation tank T4. The separation pipe 3 has a double-pipe structure in which two pipes can move relative to each other, and the outlet height to the separation tank T4 can be adjusted according to the reaction time in the reaction tank T3.
