This paper provides information and data on the present status of the Petrosix process, which has processed almost 4,000,000 tons of oil shale as of December 1984, in the 65 MTPH Irati prototype plant (UPI), attaining an operating factor of 92 percent. Based on the successful operation of the UPI and the proved reliability of the Petroxis process, Petrobras has decided to build a 260 MTPH industrial module (MI) with one retort. The assembling of this plant was initiated in 1983, and the operation startup is scheduled for 1987. Its construction and operation will allow optimizing of designs and will provide experience for commercial plants in the future.
