62 Shale oil value enhancement research - Quarterly report: October 1 - December 31, 19931993shale oil; value enhancement; raw shale oil; market shale oil projectA major push was made to identify the hydrocarbon and heteroatom types present in raw shale oil. A comprehensive, qualitative picture of the <400°C material has been obtained. In addition to the expected types, e.g., pyridines, pyrroles, indoles and phenols, the presence of aliphatic carboxylic aci...
63 Shale oil value enhancement research - Quarterly report: October 1- December 31, 19961996shale oil; value enhancement; flow THDA reactor system; KPX product slateConcurrent activities are ongoing in all key area, namely, (a) construction and startup of a flow THDA reactor system, (b) development of KPX product slate, and (c) conducting industrial liaison for assembly of the KPX consortium. Excellent progress is being made in all cases. Our market analysis an...
64 Shale oil value enhancement research - Quarterly report: September 1 - November 30, 19951995Shale oil; value enhancement; shale oil extraction products; extraction processActivities during this quarter focused on compound type analysis of shale oil extraction products and improvement of the continuous extraction process. We have installed a walk-in fume hood to improve the ventilation of our working environment while handling of larger amounts of shale oil and volati...
65 Shale oil value enhancement research - Quarterly report: September 1, - November 30, 19941994shale oil; value enhancement; polars processing schemeThe focus of the phase-l research effort is now on exploratory level verification of the candidate process schemes. We are quite confident of the basic strategy, namely, division of the barrel by polarity and separate processing of the polar and non-polar streams. Processing of the non-polar stream ...
