Method for improving the quality of middle-heavy shale oil and for increasing commodity output at thermal processing of fuels in the solid heat carrier unit

Abstract

The offered method for improving the quality of middle-heavy shale oil proposes changes in the condensation system of the solid heat carrier unit. Substitution of parallel flow of heavy shale oil and vapor phase in the air cooler-condenser for their counter-current flow accelerates evacuation of vapor-gas mixture from the high-temperature zone, increases oil yield and decreases the rate of oil bodying. © 2007 Estonian Academy Publishers.
