Oil shale: present technology and the IGT/A. G. A. process. [Review of status of various processes; emphasis on hydrogasification process]
Conference

OSTI ID:7335339
The current status of oil-shale conversion process is summarized. Above-ground processes discussed are: Tosco-II Paraho (1) and (2), Union Oil, (Rock Pump, SGR, and No. 3), Superior Oil, Gas Combustion, Hydrogasification, Petrosix, Lurgi-Ruhrgas, Galoter, and Kiviter. In-situ processes are: Oxy Modified In-Situ (Garrett), Rubble In-Situ Extraction (RISE), LERC, and Dow. Emphasis is placed on the Hydrogasification Process. It is pointed out that prehydrogenation of oil shale entering during the heat--up period prior to retorting leads to significantly improved conversion of kerogen to both liquids and gaseous products. It also minimizes the formation of coke within the shale itself. (JGB)
