METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUB SEA POWER GENERATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method by which power is generated at sub sea level, comprising the steps of: feeding an oxidizing fluid and oxidizer separately for mixing at a sub sea station, wherein the oxidizing fluid and oxidizer are chosen for chemical reaction in situ under the release of energy; feeding the energy so produced to drive means operated by at least one of heat, kinetic energy, pressure and electricity, and operative for driving sub sea processes or/ and sub sea production equipment. In accordance herewith, the invention also relates to an apparatus by which power is generated at sub sea level, comprising separate supplies of an oxidizing fluid and an oxidizer for mixing at a sub sea station, wherein the oxidizing fluid and oxidizer are chosen for chemical reaction in situ under the release of energy, and means for feeding the energy so produced to drive means operated by at least one of heat, kinetic energy, pressure and electricity.
