Sour gas boiler



The principle of the circuit is the multiple conversion of gases/liquids:

The circuit consumes about 1500g/sec of crude oil, which in the form of petroleum would give 1500W if using a Petroleum generator.

The output of the circuit is 1000g/sec of natural gas, enough for 11 Natural gas generator, which would give 8800W (or 13.3kW with engineering tuning) of power.

I don't see the point in scaling the scheme for large volumes of crude oil/gas (you can find examples of schemes for 10kg/sec or more):
 * Crude oil lakes won't last you long - a lot of crude oil goes to petroleum for rockets and plastics
 * The Leaky Oil Fissure yields only 200g/sec of crude oil (in terms of active/dormant stages)
 * The Oil Reservoir requires the work of doubles, i.e. it cannot be fully automated

Magma Sour gas boiler
Crude oil is fed at a temperature of 90°C and heated in a heat exchanger to 350...360°C. In the heating chamber (at the door) it is heated above 539°C and turns into Sour gas. It is then cooled in the heat exchanger, to 0°C (approximately). In the gas Airflow tile, the gas cools below -162°С, condenses into methane, which is forced out through the tile into the chamber with pumps.

The principle of displacing (teleporting) the liquid upwards, through several tiles, has been described by the user Kharnath. This principle is shown in the gif.

The methane is then heated using a Automation wire bridge, turning it into natural gas (which also cools the turbine). The natural gas temperature at the output of the circuit is about 187°C.

The Turbine generates about 360W. The AT runs a little over 1/3 of the time. So the circuit needs a little boost from the outside. You can add a Natural gas generator and a Smart battery to make the circuit fully autonomous.

By complicating the circuit (in particular by removing sulfur from the circuit, by Conveyor rail in the heat exchanger), you can achieve lower gas temperature at the outlet, and lower own power consumption. But a significant complication leads to an insignificant (imho) increase in efficiency.

Sensors

 * Valve, 1800gr/sec.
 * Atmosensor, top >1000gr
 * Atmosensor, middle >4000gr
 * Atmosensor, bottom >10000gr
 * Thermosensor, AT -190C
 * Thermosensor, under diamond cells - 555C.

Materials

 * The thermal tiles are ceramic. Above the turbine chamber - mafic rock (dark tiles on the screenshot)
 * Automation bridge (not connected anywhere) - copper
 * Pipes: Insulated - ceramic, Radiant - copper
 * Doors: left - tungsten, right - steel
 * Tiles, metal in magma - steel, the rest - copper, at the doors - diamond
 * AT is steel, its circuit is supercoolant
 * Wires/automatics - any.

Settings
If the crude oil inlet temperature is too different, it may be necessary to adjust the temperature of the thermosensor. If you set it too high, the sour gas will have a higher temperature. If you set it too low, the crude oil will brew slower than 1.5kg/sec. It is necessary to achieve that at the door would be a small amount of petroleum, as on the screenshot. In any case the circuit will remain functional.

The upper Atmosensor prevents from unpleasant moment: if there is not enough gas (a few grams), it will start to condense not in the Airflow tile, but near it. Bottom Atmosensor prevents excessive cooking of gas if there is no consumption and the outgoing pipe is clogged.

In the event of an interruption in the crude oil supply and/or a clogged waste pipe, overheating will not occur and the circuit will restart in the automat.

Sensors

 * Valve, 1600gr/sec.
 * Atmosensor <6000gr
 * Tube Thermosensor <-240C
 * AT Thermosensor <550C

Materials
Same as variant 1, except:


 * AT of thermium.
 * Thermosensors (dark, on the screen) are magmatic rock
 * Any liquid (water, crude oil, petroleum) in the heat exchanger

During the startup phase of the circuit, it will take a long time for the AT to run. Therefore, the water poured into the heat exchanger must be very warm (so that it does not turn into ice). Alternatively, petroleum can be poured instead of water or the water can be changed as it cools down.

Oxygen is cooled very insignificantly. You can make an open heat exchanger (as on the last screen) and cool the air around it instead of putting it in the circuit.

You may need to adjust the thermosensor to the temperature of your crude oil, as in the first option. The output of the circuit is natural gas with a temperature of about 135C.

Other Options
I consciously use magma rather than magma volcano, as I believe there is a better use for it: "Hacking a Volcano" и "Hacking a volcano, the big variant".

The hydrogen-cooled scheme, i.e. on pre-space materials, has less efficiency, but is interesting nonetheless. I will come back to it at some point.
