ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for handling and treating heavy waste hydrocarbons. The device comprises a pit heater for at least partially liquifying the hydrocarbon waste to render it pumpable. A positive displacement pump has its inlet adjacent the pit heater and pumps and partially liquified material out of a pit and into a heater-blender. In the heater-blender, a relatively high gravity crude oil is mixed with the heavy hydrocarbon waste and the temperature of the mixture is elevated by injecting steam thereinto. The blend exiting from the heater-blender is on the order of 200.degree. F. The hydrocarbon component of the blended material is in the range of 15.degree.-25.degree. API. The blend is discharged into a holding tank which has the capacity for reheating the material if necessary. The blend is withdrawn from the storage tank and processed to break the water-hydrocarbon emulsion and remove the water therefrom.
