    “PROCESSING INSTALLATION BUILT AT LEAST IN PART,
    FOR THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD BLOCKS COUPLING
    MODULAR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND SYSTEM.
    [001] -This patent application claims the priority of US provisional application no. 61/287956, filed on December 18, 2009, which together with all other references deposited concurrently are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
    [002] -The field of the invention is the modular construction of processing facilities, with particular examples given in relation to modular processing facilities for oil sands.
    [003] -The construction of facilities for large-scale processing can be extraordinarily challenging in remote locations or under adverse conditions. A particular geography that is both remote and undergoes severe adverse conditions includes the terrain comprising Canada's western provinces, where several companies are now trying to establish processing plants for removing oil from tar sands.
    [004] - Given the difficulties of building facilities entirely on site, there has been considerable interest in what will be called Second Generation Modular Construction. In that technology, the facilities are logically segmented into interchangeable type modules, the modules being built in an established industrial area, taken by trucks or by air to the
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 21/51

    place gives construction, and So there coupled. Various installations modular in Construction Modular in Monday Generation is not mounted in Sands bituminous in Alberta,
    Canada, having proven the provision of several advantages in terms of assembly speed, quality of construction work, reduction in safety risks and in the total cost of the project. There is even an example of a Modular Reactor of
    Helium (RMH), described in an article by Dr. Arkal Shenoy and Dr. Alexander Telengator, General Atomics, 3550 General Atomics Court, San Diego, CA 92121.
    [005] -The Second Generation Modular Installations have also been described in the patent literature. An example of a large-capacity oil refinery composed of multiple self-contained and interconnected modular units is described in WO 03/031012 by Shumway. A generic Second Generation Modular Facility is described in Stanfield United States Patent 20080127662.
    [006] - Unless expressly indicated here otherwise, Shumway and all other extrinsic materials discussed here, and in the descriptive report and in the priority annexes, are incorporated by reference in their entirety. When a definition or the use of a term in an embedded reference is inconsistent with or contrary to the definition that term provided in the present, the definition provided in the present of that term applies and the definition of that term in the reference does not apply.
    [007] -There are significant savings when using the Second Generation Modular. Note, for example,
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 22/51
    3/23 that the construction of a process module costs 4 US dollars in the field for every dollar spent on the construction of an equivalent module in a construction facility. However, despite the many advantages of the Second Generation Modular, there are still problems. Possibly, the most serious problems arise from the ways in which the various modules are interconnected. In the prior art to the Second Generation Modular units, the fluid, supply and control lines are built on external pipe supports. This can be seen clearly in Figures 1 and 2 of WO 03/031012. In installations that use multiple, self-contained and substantially identical production units, it is logically simple to operate these units in parallel, and to provide supply (input) and product (output) lines along an external pipe support. But, when small production units are not practical or economical, the use of external pipe supports is an impediment.
    [008] -What is needed is a new modular paradigm, where the various processes of a plant are segmented into process blocks comprising multiple modules. We refer to these projects and implementations as the Third Generation Modular Construction.
    [009] -The subject of the invention provides equipment, systems and methods where the various processes of a plant are segmented into process blocks, each comprising multiple modules, in which at least some of the modules within at least some of the blocks are fluid and
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 23/51
    4/23 electrically coupled to at least another of the modules using direct module-to-module connections.
    [010] -In the preferred embodiments, a processing facility is built at least partially by coupling three or more process blocks. Each of at least two of the blocks comprises at least two interchangeable modules, and more preferably three, four, five or even more of these modules. The contemplated embodiments can be quite large, and can have four, five, ten or even twenty or more process blocks, which collectively comprise up to one hundred, two hundred or even a greater number of interchangeable modules. All types of industrial processing facilities are included, including nuclear, gas-fired, coal-fired, or other energy-producing facilities, chemical plants and mechanical plants.
    [011] -Unless the context indicates otherwise, all ranges indicated herein should be interpreted as including their measurement points, and ranges without specified deadlines should be interpreted including only commercially practical values. Similarly, all lists of values should be considered to include intermediate values, unless the context indicates otherwise.
    [012] - As used herein, the term process block means a part of a processing facility that has several process systems within a distinct geographical boundary. As an example, an installation
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 24/51
    5/23 may have process blocks for generating electricity or steam, for distillation, for purification or for separating one material from another, for crushing, grinding, or for carrying out other mechanical operations, for carrying out reactions chemicals with or without the use of catalysts, for cooling and so on.
    [013] - As used herein, the term interchangeable module means a section of a process block that includes multiple pieces of equipment, and which has a transport weight between 20,000 Kg and 200,000 Kg. The concept is that, a commercially subset viable interchangeable modules would be large enough to practically transport the necessary equipment and support structures, but it would also be suitable for transportation on highways of commercial use in a relevant geographic area, for a certain time of the year. It is contemplated that a typical interchangeable module for areas of tar sands in Western Canada would have between 30,000 Kg and 180,000 Kg, and more preferably between 40,000 Kg and 160,000 Kg. From a dimensions perspective, these modules would normally measure between 15 and 30 meters long, and at least 3 meters high and 3 meters wide, but not more than 35 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 8 meters high.
    [014] - Interchangeable modules can be closed on all sides, and on the top and bottom, but more normally these modules would have at least one side open, and possibly all four sides open, as well
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 25/51
    6/23 as an open top. The open sides allow the modules to be positioned adjacent to each other on the open sides, thus creating a large open space, comprising 2, 3, 4, 5 or even more modules, by which an engineer could walk from one module to another within a process block.
    [015] -A typical interchangeable module may well include equipment from multiple disciplines, such as process and scaffolding equipment, platforms, wiring, instrumentation and lighting.
    [016] - A very significant advantage of Third Generation Modular Construction is that process blocks are designed to have a relatively small number of external couplings. In preferred embodiments, for example, there are at least two process blocks that are fluidly coupled by no more than three, four or five fluid lines, excluding utility lines. However, it is contemplated that there could be two or more process blocks that could be coupled by six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more fluid lines, excluding the utility lines. The same is contemplated in relation to the power lines, and the same is contemplated in relation to the control lines (that is, wired communications). In each of these cases, the fluid, supply and control lines, it is contemplated that a given line that enters a process block will distribute to several modules within the process block. The term distribute is not limited to a narrow literal sense, but in a
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 26/51
    7/23 broader sense, which includes situations in which, for example, a given fluid line divides into smaller lines that transport the fluid to different parts of the process block by means of orthogonal, parallel and other guidelines.
    [017] - Process blocks can be assembled, in any suitable way. It is contemplated, for example, that process blocks can be positioned end to end and / or side by side and / or above / below each other. The facilities contemplated include those arranged in matrices of x by y blocks, where x is at least 2 and y is at least 3. Within each process block, modules can also be arranged in any suitable way despite
    that, how the modules are probably a lot more long of what are wide, the blocks of process favorite has 3 or 4 modules willing to side, and touching in both or in one of your ends collective
    on the sides of one or more other modules. The individual process blocks can certainly have different numbers of modules and, for example, a first process block could have five modules, another process block could have two modules, and a third process block could have two other modules. In other embodiments, a first process block could have at least five modules, another process block could have at least five other modules and a third process block could have at least five other modules.
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 27/51
    8/23 [018] -In some embodiments contemplated, Modular Installations of Third Generation are those in which the process blocks collectively include equipment configured to extract oil from tar sands. Also contemplated are installations in which at least one of the process blocks produces the energy used by at least one other process block, and independently, in which at least one of the process blocks produces steam used by at least one other process block, and independently, in which at least one of the process blocks includes a cooling tower with at least two floors. It is also contemplated that at least one of the process blocks includes a personal control area, which is coupled in a controlled manner to at least one other process block using optical fibers. In general, but not necessarily in all cases, the process blocks of a Third Generation Modular Installation would collectively include at least one reservoir, a compressor, an exchanger, a pump, a filter.
    [019] - Although a Modular Installation of Third Generation may have one or more pipe supports in order to interconnect the modules within a process block, it does not necessarily have to be so. Thus, it is contemplated that a modular construction system can comprise modules A, B, and C juxtaposed, side by side, each of the modules having (a) a height greater than 4 meters and a width greater than 4 meters, and (b) at least one open side; and a first fluid line coupling
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 28/51
    9/23 modules A and B; a second fluid line coupling modules B and C; and in which the first and second lines of fluids pass through an interconnection of the pre-installed process block and do not pass through a support for common interconnecting pipes.
    [020] -Various objectives, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the subject of the invention will become more apparent from the following description of the exemplary embodiments and the figures in the accompanying drawings.

    [021] -In one aspect of the preferred embodiments, the modular construction system would still comprise a first command line coupling modules A and B; a second command line coupling modules B and C; and in which the first and second command lines do not pass through the common pipe support. In more preferred embodiments, modules A, B, and C comprise at least 5, at least 8, at least 12, or at least 15 modules. Preferably, at least two of process blocks A, B and C are fluidly coupled by no more than five fluid lines, excluding utility lines. In yet other preferred embodiments, a module D could be stacked on top of module C, and a third fluid line could directly couple modules C and D.
    [022] -The methods for the provision of a Second Generation Installation are different, in many
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 30/51
    11/23 aspects, of those used for the provision of a Third Generation Modular Installation. Considering that the former usually only involves the division of equipment for a given process between several modules, the latter preferably occurs in a five-step process as described below. It is contemplated that while the traditional Second Generation Modular Construction can prefabricate about 50-60% of the work of a complex, a Multi Generation Modular Construction of the Third Generation can prefabricate up to about 90-95% of the work.
    [023] -Other information for the design of Third Generation Modular Construction facilities is included in the 3rd Generation Modular Execution Design Guide, which is included in this order. The Project Guide should be interpreted as exemplary of one or more preferred embodiments, and the text that indicates specificities (eg, will be or should be) should, therefore, be seen only as suggestive of one or more forms of preferred embodiments. Where the Design Guide refers to confidential software, data or other design tools, which are not included in this order, such software, data or other design tools will not be incorporated by reference. In the event of a discrepancy between the Project Guide and this report, the report will be valid.

    12/23
    Third Generation Construction. In general, there are three steps, as discussed below.
    [025] - Step 101 serves to identify the installation configuration for the Third Generation Construction Process using process blocks. In this step, the main process normally separates the facilities into process blocks. This is best accomplished with the development of a process block flowchart. Each process block contains a distinct set of process systems. A process block will have one or more feed streams and one or more product streams. The process block will process the feed in different products, as shown.
    [026] - Step 102 is used to allocate a plot space for each Third Generation Construction Process Block. Plotting space allocation requires a piping design specialist to distribute the relevant equipment within each Third Generation Construction Process Block. In this phase of the project, only the estimated weights and dimensions of the equipment provided by the process / mechanical sector should be used to prepare each block. An arrangement of equipment in the Third Generation Construction Process Block requires attention to the location in order to guarantee the effective integration of the pipeline distribution, electrical and control parts. To provide guidance to the project specialist, the steps must be followed:
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 32/51
    13/23 [027] - Step 102A is used to obtain the types, sizes and weights required for the equipment. It is important that the equipment is dimensioned so that it can be effectively adapted to a module. Any equipment that has been dimensioned and that cannot be effectively adapted to the module envelope must be evaluated by the main process for possible resizing for the effective installation of the module.
    [028] - Step 102B serves to establish a total geometric area for the process block using a combination of transportable module dimensions. A first and a second level must be identified using a grid design, where the grid identifies each module limit within the process block.
    [029] - Step 102C serves to allocate space for the electrical distribution and control panels on the first level. Figure 2 is an example of a first level grid and equipment layout in the Third Generation Construction Process Block. The E&I panels are dimensioned to include the motor control centers and the distributed instrument and I / O controllers necessary to energize and control the equipment, instrumentation, lighting and electrical heating layout within the process block. The module containing the E&I panels is referred to as the Third Generation primary process block module. Consult the E&I installation details for the Third Generation module projects.
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 33/51
    14/23 [030] - Step 102D serves to group equipment and instruments by primary systems using the
    Process block DFPs.
    [031] - Step 102E serves to distribute each group of equipment per system in the process block layout, ensuring that the equipment does not exceed the limits of the module. The layout should focus on keeping the pumps located on the same grid and module level as the E&I distribution panels. This will assist in maintaining the household electrical power cables together. If not practical, the second best arrangement would be to have the pumps or any other motor close to the module with the E&I distribution panels. In addition, the equipment must be spaced to ensure operational effectiveness, maintenance capacity and safe access and egress.
    [032] -The use of Fluor's Optimeyes® is an effective tool at this stage of the project to help in the disposition of the process block.
    [033] -Stage 103 serves to prepare a detailed disposition of the equipment inside the Process Blocks for the production of an integrated Third Generation installation. Each process block identified in step 2 is established in a plot space, ensuring that the necessary interconnections between the blocks are minimized. Primary interconnections are identified from the Process Flow Block diagram. The supports for traditional interconnecting tubes are not
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 34/51
    15/23 preferably more needed or used. Piping paths are integrated into the module. A simple and typical Third Generation block layout is illustrated in figure 3.
    [034] -Stage 104 is used to develop a Third Generation Module Configuration Table and a power distribution and control plan, which combines process blocks for the entire installation in order to eliminate the traditional interconnection supports for tubes and reduce the number of interconnections. The Third Generation Module Configuration Table is developed using the data above. Models can be used, and, for example, a Third Generation power distribution and control plan can be advantageously prepared using the architectural model for Third Generation power distribution and control.
    [035] - Step 105 serves to develop a Third Generation modular plan, which includes fully detailed process block modules on integrated multidisciplinary bases. The final step in this phase of a project is to prepare a general modular plan for Third Generation Modular Execution, which can be used to establish the baselines to proceed to the next phase. It is contemplated that a Third Generation Modular Execution will require a different schedule than the modular projects traditionally executed.

    TABLE 1 [037] - Figure 4 is a schematic (plan view) of three exemplary process blocks (No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3) in an oil separation facility designed for the oil sands region of the Western Canada. Here, process block no. 1 has two modules (no. Len ° 2), process block no. 2 has two modules (no. 3 and no. 4), and process block no. 3 has only one module (No. 5). The dotted lines between the modules indicate the open sides of adjacent modules, whereas the solid lines at the
    Petition 870190021390, of 03/01/2019, p. 40/51
    21/23 around the modules indicate walls. The arrows show fluid and electrical couplings between the modules. Thus, Drawing 1 shows only two, a power line connection and a fluid line connection between modules # 1 and # 2. Similarly, Drawing 1 does not show electrical line connections between process blocks # 1 and 2, and only a single fluid line connection between those process blocks.
    [038] -Figure 5 is a schematic of an elevation view of the process block module layout, where modules C, B and A are on one level, most likely the ground level, with a fourth module D placed above module C. Although only two fluid couplings are shown, the Drawing should be understood as potentially including one or more other fluid couplings, and one or more electrical and control couplings.
    [039] - Figure 6 is a schematic of an alternative embodiment of a part of an oil separation facility, where there are again three process blocks (No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3). But here, process block # 1 has three modules (# 1, # 2 and # 3), process block # 2 has two modules (# 1 and # 2), and the process block No. 3 has two other modules (No. 1 and No. 2).

    22/23 [041] -Figure 8 is a schematic of a Modular Installation of Third Generation having four process blocks, each having five modules. Although the dimensions are not shown, each of the modules must be interpreted as having (a) a length of at least 15 meters, (b) a height greater than 4 meters, (c) a width greater than 4 meters, and (d) having open sides and / or ends in which the modules within a given process block are positioned adjacent to each other. In this particular example, the first and second process blocks are fluidly coupled by no more than four fluid lines, excluding utility lines, four electrical lines, and two control lines. The first and third process blocks are connected by six fluid lines, excluding utility lines, and by an electric line and a control line.
