METHOD FOR SEPARATING OIL CONTENT AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING OIL CONTENT

摘要

Disclosed is a method which can efficiently separate the oil content from an oil-containing material by jetting water vapor thereto. High-temperature high-pressure water vapor (B) is jetted to an oil-containing material (A), so that the oil content (a) contained in the oil-containing material (A) is vaporized, thereby being separated from the oil-containing material (A). Also disclosed is an apparatus for separating an oil component comprising an oil-containing material supply pipe (3) for supplying an oil-containing material (A) in the form of mud and a water vapor supply pipe (4) for supplying high-temperature high-pressure water vapor (B), wherein a supply port (3a) of the oil-containing material supply pipe (3) faces a supply port (4a) of the water vapor supply pipe (4).
