Scale-up comparisons between 10-ton and 150-ton oil-shale batch retorts. [Simulation of forward-combustion, modified in-situ process]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7237952
;
The retorting characteristics of a column of mine-run, ungraded oil shale ranging in size from fines to pieces weighing as much as 5 tons are being investigated. Two retorts nominally sized at 10 and 150 tons were used in this investigation to simulate the forward-combustion, modified in-situ process for retorting oil shale. The results of twelve experiments performed in these two retorts at six duplicate operating conditions are compared to assist in developing scale-up factors for the process.
