Abstract: The invention is directed to the thermal mobilization of black oil residues by direct and/or indirect heating whereby the mobilized residues are then removed from the tank by a localized negative pressure means. The removed black oil residues are then treated to recover an oil which may be utilized alone or combined with other petroleum products.

Abstract: The recovery of materials from viscous bodies of petroleum residue and asphalt deposits which contain substantial quantities of the deposits by the use of an induced thermal gradient in a region of such a viscous body in which there is located a screw-like pump.This is effected by a process and apparatus that utilizes a thermal gradient about a archimedian screw-type pump in the pit or pond where its inlet is proximate of the surface of the pit or pond. The thermal gradient about the pump concentrates less viscous components at the vicinity of the inlet and a positive pressure is applied to assure a flow of residue towards the inlet allowing the lower viscosity materials to be captured and pumped from the pit or pond to a shore facility.

Abstract: A tank accessing procedure is disclosed which allows for the replacement of a cover plate from a tank manway with an adapter having the capability of permitting access to the interior of the enclosure, without any appreciable spillage of the contents of the tank, even if the level of such tank contents is above the height of the manway. In particular, the method comprises first inserting a blanking plate between the cover plate and the manway flange, which blanking plate is then secured to the manway flange. The cover plate is then removed leaving the blanking plate as the sole means of retaining the tank contents in place. The adapter is then secured to the manway flange and the blanking plate is removed thereby completing the accessing operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for introducing and positioning a removal means, such as a pump, through a manway to the interior of a tank which contains a flowable material, such as black oil residues, which is to be removed by the removal means in a manner which provides for the ease of moving and positioning the removal means as well as providing a support therefore is disclosed. The invention utilizes a telescoping means which is coupled to the removal means and which provides support for the removal means as well as facilitating its movement and where desired, can also be connected to a power source for supplying the force necessary to move the removal means into and within the tank.
