Patent ID: 8881799

Claim:
A multiple chamber gas generator system for generating gasses in a borehole for use in the recovery of petroleum products, the multiple chamber gas generator system comprising: a plurality of gas generators shaped to fit within the borehole, each of the gas generators having an elongate combustion chamber; a gas flow control system operably installed for supplying a fuel and an oxidizing agent to the elongate combustion chambers of each of the gas generators, for combustion; a control computer having a computer processor, a computer memory, and a control program operatively installed in the computer memory; wherein the control program functions to control the operation of the gas flow control system and to selectively turn on or off each of the gas generators to regulate the volume of gasses being generated in response to changes in pressure within the borehole; and further comprising a plurality of support ribs that structurally connect the plurality of gas generators, each of the plurality of support ribs having a plurality of gas generator apertures that are each shaped to receive one of the plurality of gas generators.
