DRUM-TYPE REACTOR FOR THERMAL PROCESSING OF FINE OIL SHALE

摘要

FIELD: oil and gas industry.SUBSTANCE: drum-type reactor for thermal processing of fine oil shale by solid heat carrier is made as a case (1) in the shape of a hollow horizontal drum with end walls at the ends to which inlet and outlet tubes are cut in. In order to mix oil shale with heat carrier at inner lined surface (2) of the case (1) of the drum-type reactor there are pockets (3), which ensure complete mixing of the mix in quantity determined by the formula N = ? D/a, where D is diameter of the inner working surface of the drum and a is pocket width. At that geometric scope of one pocket (3) corresponds to volume-flow rate per second of the mix of oil shale with heat carrier while the total geometric scope of all pockets (3) corresponds to volume-flow rate or exceeds volume-flow rate of the mix of oil shale with heat carrier supplied to the reactor per its one turn.EFFECT: invention ensures complete transfer of volatile organic matters of oil shale to gas-vapour mixture with increase in yield of target products obtained in result of oil shale processing.4 cl, 3 dwg
