201 Oil shale project run summary, small retort: Run S-71981-12-11Oil shale; Combustion run; Retorting; Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryRun S-7 went smoothly except for loss of nitrogen flow for a short period early in the run. The thermal front developed rapidly and appeared to travel through the bed in a stable and uniform fashion. The exit gas composition stayed relatively constant for most of the last 3/4 of the run. The traveli...
