Abstract

The present invention relates to a CLC plant and method for a hydrocarbon feedstock, comprising the combustion of said hydrocarbon feedstock (8) in contact with a particulate oxygen carrier in a reduction zone (R0) and the oxidation of the oxygen carrier from the reduction zone (R0) in contact with an oxidising gas, preferably air, in an oxidation zone. According to the invention, gaseous oxygen is released from the oxygen carrier in a sealing device (S1) operating in a double fluidised bed and positioned in the path of said carrier from the oxidation zone to the combustion zone, and is mixed with part of the combustion fumes intended to be recycled to the reduction zone. The gaseous oxygen then allows the combustion of residual unburnt species that may be contained in the combustion fumes, and/or participates in the combustion of the hydrocarbon feedstock in the reduction zone.

If the ratio is non-zero, the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and a percentage of TOC of between 4 and 12%, and the mineral carbon content is equal to MinC minus said TOC percentage. If the ratio is zero, the mineral carbon content is zero and the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and MinC.

The invention relates to a method for determining wind velocity components by means of a positioned LiDAR sensor (1). For this method, the wind direction (Dir) and average wind velocity (??) are determined in a measurement plane (PM), then a projection line is constructed perpendicular to the wind direction (Dir) in the measurement plane (PM), then a temporal offset (?t) is determined between the measurement points (b1, b2, b3, b4) and the projection line, so as to determine corrected measurement signals.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining wind speed components by means of a fixed LiDAR sensor (1). For this method, the wind speed components are first approximated (APP) by the signals of the LiDAR sensor (1), these approximations are used in a wind signal model (MOD) and then in a non-stationary Kalman filter (KAL), to construct filtered measurement signals. The filtered measurement signals are then used to reconstruct (REC) the wind speed components.

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated method for thermal conversion and indirect combustion of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock in a redox chemical loop for producing hydrocarbon streams. The heavy hydrocarbon feedstock (1) is brought into contact with inert particles (2) in a thermal conversion zone (100). Thermal conversion in the absence of hydrogen, water vapour and a catalyst produces a first gaseous effluent of hydrocarbon compounds (4) and coke, which effluent is deposited on the inert particles (5). The latter is then burned in a redox chemical loop (200) in the presence of oxygen-carrying solid particles (6). The inert particles thus flow between the thermal conversion zone (100) and a reduction zone (300) of the chemical loop while the oxygen-carrying solid particles flow between the oxidation (400) and reduction zones (300) of the chemical loop.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour simuler des écoulements dans un réservoir géologique ayant une taille de pores hétérogène. A partir de mesures de laboratoire sur des échantillons prélevés dans le réservoir géologique, on détermine des classes de distribution de tailles de pores, et on détermine un modèle triple porosité représentatif de chacune des classes. Le modèle triple porosité selon l'invention comprend un milieu représentatif des pores de plus petite taille, un milieu représentatif des pores de plus grande taille, et un milieu représentatif des fractures. Le simulateur d'écoulement selon l'invention implémente le modèle triple porosité, une équation d'état thermodynamique prenant en compte une dimension équivalente des pores du milieu petits pores, des échanges de fluide exclusivement entre les milieux grands pores et petits pores et entre les milieux petits pores et fracture, et tient compte de la pression capillaire fonction de la saturation dans le milieu petits pores.
