1888 Production of bitumen-derived hydrocarbon liquids from Utah's tar sands1988-07-31Utah tar sand; fluidized-bed pyrolysis; bitumen-derived hydrocarbon liquid; tar sandIn previous work done on Utah's tar sands, it had been shown that the fluidized-bed pyrolysis of the sands to produce a bitumen-derived hydrocarbon liquid was feasible. The research and development work conducted in the small-scale equipment utilized as feed a number of samples from the various tar ...
1889 Production of hydrogen for upgrading of heavy oil: Senior design project--Spring 20092009-04-22oil supply; conventional oil sources; unconventional oil sources; oil shale; synthetic crude production; shale oilAn important technical hurdle to the production of oil from abundant oil shale resources is how to create enough hydrogen for upgrading the heavy oils produced from the shale prior to transport through pipelines. In order to avoid clogging pipelines during transport roughly 350scm (standard cubic me...
