Abstract
A continuous chemical process is modified to allow parts thereto to be processed one quantum of matter at a time. This offers precision and efficiency beyond what is possible with the continuous mode. This Quantum Fluid Operation (QFO) is applied to basic unit operations: mixing, reacting, separating.
Claims15
A system called “Quantum Fluid Operation” (QFO) for secluding a quantum of fluid in a continuous industrial flow, and treating this quantum as batch operation without affecting the control flow before and after the QFO;
- the QFO comprising:
- (i) input fluid capacity tanks, (A tanks),
- (ii) output fluid capacity tanks, (C tanks),
- (iii) a quantum fluid container, (B),
- (iv) operational implements,
- the total flow of all the fluids a1, a2, . . . af through the f A tanks is at a constant flow rate qa, and the constant flow rate to the output fluid capacity tank is qc=qa;
- a quantum of fluid of measure Q is taken out of the f A tanks during time interval tin, and is accumulated in the quantum fluid container, (B), which is big enough to contain the quantum fluid;
- next the operational implements operate (treat) on the quantum Q contained in B for a period of time tq;
- next the quantum Q is pumped out of the container B to output fluid capacity tanks, (C), over a period of time tout, the identified flow rates and timings comply with the following equation:
- Q=qa*(tin+tq+tout)=qc*(tin+tq+tout)
- and where the operational implements operating on the quantum of fluid Q, change the state of the quantum to a desired state, S=S(Q), and where the quantum treating time, tq, is extended as needed to insure that the quantum of fluid, Q, leaves the quantum fluid container, (B) at the desired state, S(Q).
