Would I have to freeze precipitate it or evaporate it? I think it would be food-safe if I got all the pet ether out right
Ameri Can.
If not, is the only reason for not switching to primarily cellulose plastic money?
Edit: Now I understand R.I.P my inbox.
Hey guys i came up with this idea. Maybe is too much power for just a liquid pump but you can also feed your base and delete some heat from the diamond rail. Turbines are working 100% without the boiler (tested 60 cycles) and with the boiler seems that the right one seeks more heat ≤ 742.49 W The left one is 850 W constantly. I didnt place third turbine because i concidered about the boiler
Liquid pipe thermo sensor=Above 20
Thermo sensor=Above 200
Here you can find the sensors of the boiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csvObrEPtzg&t=303s

Been drilling for a few days and about to hit our first pay zone. I’m still a young engineer with 3 yrs experience and I work for a very small oil company. I have experience with almost every aspect of our field and have listed some of my favorite topics below. I’ll be off and on replying depending on what’s going on.
Good Working Knowledge:
Fracs
Production (Rod Pumps, ESPs)
Evaluating Prospects (Decline Curves/ Cash Flows)
Paraffin...
Data Management (Production/Completions Records)
Oil Spills (Not offshore)
Applying/Hiring for jobs (Resumes)
Working as a Frac Hand
Supervising Pulling Units
All experience above is for the Permian Basin Area

Update: currently being hit by hail
8/14/2019 6am Update #2: We saw some decent oil shows and will be testing the zone today with a tool called a DST. Hail didn’t damage anything too badly.
8/16/2019 10am Update #3: Zone we tested looked interesting. Back to drilling but there may be a problem since we’re slowly drilling at 10ft/hr. Hoping it’s just some hard rock.
8/16/2019 6:30pm Update #4: Drilling about 25ft/hr. Still slow but there are some good spikes to 70 ft/hr. Been getting stuck in shale.
8/21/2019 11am Update #5: Almost ready to run casing and finish this well. Been fun replying to everyone and interesting that so many people have strong opinions on the oil industry.
I like building petroleum boilers. They produce tons of power and even a little bit of water. A bunch of boiler designs have been posted here lately, but something's been bothering me: How efficient are these boilers? How much oil can you push through them? And what type of volcano do I really need to power it?
Why does efficiency matter?
I've built two boilers in survival (one, two). The first uses a Minor Volcano, and the second uses an Iron Volcano.
Let's take a look at the usable thermal energy for various volcano types. This table assumes that the boiler cools the volcano material to 100 C (which closely matches my boilers in survival).
| Volcano type | Average yield (g/s) | Output temperature (C) | Specific heat capacity (DTU/g/C) | Usable thermal energy (DTU/s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volcano | 1100 | 1726.85 | 1.00 | 1,789,535 |
| Minor Volcano | 550 | 1726.85 | 1.00 | 894,768 |
| Iron Volcano | 300 | 2526.85 | 0.449 | 326,897 |
| Copper Volcano | 300 | 2226.85 | 0.386 | 246,289 |
| Gold Volcano | 300 | 2626.85 | 0.129 | 97,789 |
You can boil 18 times more petroleum with a Volcano than with a Gold Volcano. But how much is that? How can we tell whether a design works with a given volcano?
Thermal efficiency metrics
What we really care about is how much energy it takes to boil some petroleum. If I spend 5.5 MDTU to boil 200 kg oil into petroleum, then my efficiency is:
5.5 MDTU / 200 kg = 27.5 DTU/g
This value allows us to compare boiler designs regardless of volcano type, processing rate or design layout (to some extent).
I've come up with three metrics for measuring this efficiency value. All of these assume that the boiler is well-insulated (usually with a vacuum) and that it's reached a stable state where internal temperatures aren't changing.
1. Direct measurement
The simplest way to measure the amount of hot material needed is, well, just measure it. My boiler designs route the hot magma or metal through the boiler on conveyor rails and then dump the cooled material. We can measure the temperature of the input, temperature of the output, and the mass of the output (since it's the same as the input). We also need to measure the mass of petroleum produced during the same time period. The thermal efficiency is given by:
thermal efficiency = (input temp - output temp) * (specific heat capacity) * (output mass) / (petroleum mass)
I have a volcano pretty close (height-wise) to my base that I want to use for a petroleum boiler. There is a lot of horizontal space. Petroleum boiler designs are typically not tremendously wide, but coil around many times. I was thinking this was just for reasonable overall dimensions and that the only thing that mattered for counterflow was the total number of tiles over which heat exchange happened. This means I could make a very high length but very low height counterflow chamber. However, I am not sure if I am missing something such as perhaps something related to how liquid flows on a surface when there is a very small mount of it relative to the amount the tile holds, or something else.
Can somebody confirm that a wide, squat counterflow chamber is totally viable as long as the number of tiles/pipe segments for heat exchange is sufficient?
