SYSTEM, PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT FOR TREATING FLUIDS BY MEANS OF THE ALTERATION OF THE INTRAMOLECULAR PROPERTIES THEREOF.

摘要

The present invention consists in iCat technology, which is an abbreviation of Intramolecular Cluster Alteration Technology. The fluids (water, hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof) that are flowed through the iCat system, suffer intramolecular changes like the reduction of the superficial tension, the rupture of intramolecular clusters causing the release and independence of the molecules. The change observed in the reduction of the superficial tension of water, results in a higher surface area, improving the dissolution, penetration and contact area with the applied chemical products. When the hydrocarbons are flown through the iCat system, the clusters between the structures of the same are broken, resulting into independent hydrocarbon molecules with a higher distance therebetween, having a higher surface area, increasing the bond with oxygen (thus obtaining a higher efficiency and effectiveness in combustion). The resulting fluid will be an altered fluid and may be used in different applications, such as for treating water, agriculture, removing scale, treating hydrocarbons, amongst others.
