solo6490 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 So this started out as a mini boiler to convert the oil geyser to methane and it got a little out of control. As you can tell post build modifications were made to bring this up to capacity and adding in the other oil reservoirs. To get around overpressure issues I convert the sour gas straight to solid methane and melt it on the rails in the storage/heat exchanger. The entire thing powers itself as well as about 50% of my base (other 50% is solar) and I still keep building up more methane reserves. Learned a lot from the build will be making all kinds of changes next time.

blash365 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 What materials are you using? What are the sensor values? What is the throughput? Please also add some explaination to the parts of your boiler.

solo6490 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Its a batch sour gas boiler so my guess is between 3-5 kgs. Each batch is about 2-3 tons of sour gas produced every .5 to 1 cycle. I never bothered measuring output once it balanced itself out. The steam turbines and aquatuners on the bottom act as a "chill booster" when the two main aquatuners are not enough. But a good amount of ceramic for insulation tiles that touch gases. Steel for all parts except the main aquatuners which are thermium. And some supercoolant in the chill chamber (and heat booster aquatuner) as a thermal buffer. The soild methane goes from the chill chamber through to the storage/heat exchanger with a solid material buffer at the top that allows soild methane that hasn't melted yet to go back on the rails and will circulate until it melts relasing all the methane into the storage chamber which can't over pressurize. Most automation buffers are 5 sec just to keep things flowing once lag gets bad. The main heating chamber hydro sensor which controls the oil input is set to 50kg. Gas pumps are controlled by the gas storage buildings which release the gas in batches. So you can pretty much keep all 5 filled with only 4 gas pumps. Its why I only have 10 instead of 11 NG generators to give the gas storage the ability to catch up when it gets low.
