  • Patent number: 11674685
    Abstract: A multi-circulation heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)/Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes comprises a steam drum internally partitioned to provide a clean side and a dirty side. The clean side downcomer pipe supplies water to one or more generating banks as part of a clean circuit located in a high heat flux zone of the boiler. Boiler water is fed from the clean side of the drum to the dirty side of the drum via natural head differential. Water is then fed through a corresponding downcomer to a dirty generating bank, which is located in a low heat flux zone of the boiler.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7533632
    Abstract: A gravity feed, natural circulation boiler for an SAGD process using low quality feedwater for carbonatious material recovery, has a large diameter steam drum with downcomers. A furnace of the boiler has individually replaceable membrane wall modules, each with upper and lower headers and membrane roof, wall and floor parts connected to the drum and defining a fire box having an inlet end and an outlet end. The furnace includes a membrane front wall connected to the drum with a windbox upstream of the front wall. Burners at the inlet end of the firebox heat the firebox and riser pipes are connected between the steam drum and the upper header for supplying steam to the steam drum when the firebox in heated, the downcomer pipes being connected to the lower header for supplying water from the stream drum under gravity feed so that each module defines a single circuit.
