Abstract

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) developed several patented plasma technologies for hydrocarbon processing. The INL patents include nonthermal and thermal plasma technologies for direct natural gas to liquid conversion, upgrading low value heavy oil to synthetic light crude, and to convert refinery bottom heavy streams directly to transportation fuel products. Proof of concepts has been demonstrated with bench scale plasma processes and systems to convert heavy and light hydrocarbons to higher market value products. This paper provides an overview of three selected INL patented plasma technologies for hydrocarbon conversion or upgrade.

Proceedings of the workshop on hydrocarbon processing mixing and scale-up problems. [Fuels processing for fuel cells]

Gabor, J. D.

A workshop was convened by the Division of Fossil Fuel Utilization of the US Department of Energy in cooperation with the Particulate and Multiphase Process Program of the National Science Foundation to identify needs for fundamental engineering support for the design of chemical reactors for processing heavy hydrocarbon liquids. The problems associated with dispersing liquid hydrocarbons in a reacting gas and mixing within the gas phase are of primary concern. The transactions of the workshop begin with an introduction to the immediate goals of the Department of Energy. Fuel cell systems and current research and development are reviewed.

Hydrocarbon processing symposium 1990

Kundu, N.K. ; Somasundaram, S.

The 1990 Hydrocarbon Processing Symposium at the Energy-Sources Technology Conference and Exhibition deals with two particular areas of hydrocarbon processing - considerations in waste processing and cogeneration applications. Several papers address solid and liquid waste disposal from the environmental point of view. In a session on waste-to-energy, papers on polymer reprocessing, wood waste and waste solvents offer new ideas on waste minimization and resource recovery maximization. The predominant issue in the cogeneration area is the experience gained from the design and installation of actual systems. These papers discuss a variety of issues including the experience of design and development, feasibilitymore »« less
Hydrocarbon processing symposium - 1986

Arnoni, J.

These thirteen papers were given at a conference on hydrocarbon processing. Topics discussed include the theory and practice of efficient program management with particular emphases on computers and documentation, corrosion of various parts of chemical plants, and the retrofitting and performance of gas turbines and heat recovery systems.
Zeolite membrane application in hydrocarbon processing

Suzuki, H. - American Chemical Society, Division of Petroleum Chemistry, Preprints; (USA)

Zeolites are of great importance in hydrocarbon processing either as adsorbents or catalysts. This paper presents a research since 1973 about the transformation of zeolite into membrane zeolite, that dramatically contributes to the free world of peace and prosperity. Commercial and organic membranes are of two categories: anisotropic membrane, e.g. cellulose acetate, and composite membrane, e.g. plasma {und in}-{und situ} polymerization on polysulfone support. Zeolite membrane belongs to the latter category, zeolite {und in}-{und situ} hydrothermalization on porous glass. Basically zeolite membrane is consisted of three groups: (1) eight-oxygen ring window, zeolite A, (2) ten-oxygen ring window, Pentasil, and (3)more »« less
Hydrocarbon-induced cancer risks in oil shale processing

Savitz, D.A. ; Gratt, L.B. ; Marine, W.M. ; ... - Oil Shale Symp. Proc.; (United States)

An estimate of occupational cancer risks due to hydrocarbon exposure during retorting, upgrading, and transportation was derived using epidemiological studies in a surrogate industry. The oil refining industry was selected as a surrogate with the goal of adjusting that workforce's risk based upon toxicologic and exposure data. Risk estimates were derived for those cancers which may be excessive in refinery workers, namely lung, stomach, kidney, brain, and skin cancer. The magnitude of health risks for these diseases was very small, with the estimated 15,000 exposed workers suffering 3.7 excess internal cancers per year and 21 excess skin cancers per year.more »« less
