The design and preliminary operation of a 150-ton, batch-type, oil-shale retort are discussed. U.S. Bureau of Mines is operating this retort at the Research Center in Laramine, Wyo. Operating conditions and results from the first run using ungraded shale ranging in size from 4-ft cubes to fines are presented. Drawings related to the retorting equipment are shown, and problems associated with initial startup and operation of the system are discussed.
