CINÉTICA DE PROCESOS DE COMBUSTIÓN IN SITU: UNA DISCUSIÓN DE LOS MODELOS CINÉTICOS

摘要: In situ combustion is a thermal enhanced heavy oil recovery method in which portion of the burned (approximately 10%) due to reaction with oxygen or any other oxidant gas purpose generating energy as heat. this process air reacts reservoir (in situ) resulting low temperature reactions (LTO, Low Temperature Oxidation) addition reactions, later cracking take place (ITO, Intermediate produce coke necessary for combustion. As increase, high occur (HTO, High fuel consumed front. article done theorical review kinetics on Situ Combustion processes, emphasis dry frontal oil, collects mechanisms each regimes (low addition, intermediate and breaking bonds) models widely reported literature kinetic associated there. These include following models: Belgrave, Benham Poettmann, Sequera, Kapadia, Pruden, between others. Knowledge constitute an start point analysis Combustion, its importance lies that making project, make laboratory tests determine also, establish whole set best represent oxidative behavior studied oil. The final objective most representative Colombian crude.
