摘要： A sub-surface hydrocarbon production system comprising an energy delivery well extending from the surface to a location proximate a bottom of the hydrocarbons to be produced. A production well extends from the surface to a location proximate the hydrocarbon and a convection passage extends between the energy delivery well and the production well thereby forming a convection loop. The energy delivery well and the production well intersect at a location proximate the hydrocarbon such that the convection loop is in the form of a triangle. Preferably, the convection passage extends upwardly from a point at which the convection passage intersects the production well. The system also includes a heater, such as an electric heater or down-hole burner, disposed in the energy delivery well.

摘要： Process of crystallization of sodium bicarbonate from solution mined Nahcolite pregnant liquor comprising the use of from about 2 to 100 parts per million of lecithin, introduced full strength, made miscible in water with a soap or detergent, saponified with NaOH at a pH of 10-12, or preferably as a mixture of lecithin in pregnant or barren liquor containing HCO3−/CO3= ions at a pH in the range of from about 8 to 12, preferaby 8-10. The lecithin functions as a crystal growth modifier, producing improved crystal yields, product size classification, improved crystal shape including reduction in dendritic, branched and twinned forms, very significant scale reduction, reduction in wet cake moisture, increase in product bulk density, reduction in both oversize and undersize fractions (the classification phenomenon) and less breakage during drying and handling. The aqueous lecithin premix is preferably added to a pregnant liquor tank, and may also be added in one or more crystallizers in the circuit in batch (timed aliquots) or continuously metered in proportion to throughput. The process may also be applied to crystallization of carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, nitrates, sulfates, hydroxides and borates of Na, Li, K, Ca and Mg from aqueous solutions including brines. For commercial scale bicarbonate production the presently preferred range is 2-30 ppm, and for product −425 &mgr;m+45 &mgr;m the range is about 5-15 ppm. Coarse product (+425 &mgr;m) is preferably produced in the range of about 12-30 ppm.
