Process for the partial oxidation of bituminous oil

摘要

A process for the partial oxidation of bituminous oil emulsions to produce a raw gas containing CO and H2, the process including heating the bituminous oil emulsion to destabilize the emulsion and separating the bituminous oil from the emulsion water, concentrating the emulsion water by evaporation, and reacting in a gasification unit the bituminous oil, the concentrated emulsion water and oxygen or air to produce the raw gas containing mainly CO and H2.
