ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for the extraction and generation of solvent for continuous injection into a reservoir or subterranean deposit for the recovery of crude oil or liquified coal. Solvent contained in the recovered liquid mixture of organic compounds is vaporized by the bubbling and agitation of atmospheric air through a tank in which the recovered liquid mixture has been pumped. Various solvent compounds such as ethers or aromatic hydrocarbons are vaporized and drawn off from the tank by a suction pump or compressor and continuously reinjected into the deposit through an injection well. Apparatus in the form of a vertically disposed tube having an ambient atmospheric inlet is disposed within the solvent generator tank. Conventional storage tanks may be converted for the process by utilizing a telescoping tube arrangement which may be installed through a standard gaging or inspection port in the tank.
