Device, for burning underwater petroleum or combustible products escaping from underwater reservoir, contains combustion, decanting and flotation chambers, collector and evacuation chimney

摘要

A sealed submerged envelope (1) which can resist the external pressure contains a combustion chamber (2), decanting chambers (4), flotation chambers (5), a collector (7) for transferring the product from the reservoir (19) and an evacuation chimney (3). A pipe ensures the transfer of a heating product from the envelope to the reservoir. The envelope is held in place by anchor lines (6). The chimney has a float (9), an air supply pipe (10) and an aerial platform (11). A burner (12) and an injection pump (13) are placed in the envelope. The aerial platform has ventilators (14) and the chimney supports an electrical supply installation (15) and a feed line (16) for products required to start combustion. The envelope contains an element (17) for heating the petroleum or combustible product to improve its combustion. The collector has a cone (18) in its lower section.
