PROCESS AND PROCESS FACILITY UNIT FOR CAPTURE, SEPARATION, PURIFICATION AND COMPRESSION OF HYDROCARBONS FROM DEPTHS OF MARINE WATERS

摘要

The proposed invention relates to a process used for obtaining hydrocarbons from depth waters and a process facility unit for the application of the method. The process according to the invention consists in capturing water containing hydrocarbons from the marine water depth, circulating the captured fluid mixture through the transport system, in which the transported fluid can be optionally heated, to the discharge area, where, through an adequate processing, there occurs the separation and removal of unwanted components from the fluid captured from depth marine waters, the resulting hydrocarbons being captured, purified, compressed and used. The process facility unit according to the proposed invention consists of a transport tube (1) for capture and circulation of water containing hydrocarbons from the depth, a system (2) for maintenance of the captured fluid flow, a tri-phases separator (3)f a heat exchanger (4) with a phase separator (5), a gas meter (6) for conditioning the pressure and flow of resulting gaseous hydrocarbons, a compression system (7) and a system (8) for separation and purification of hydrocarbons.
