  • Patent number: 4320795
    Abstract: A process for the transfer of heat between solids is described in which a particulate solid is allowed to fall at a substantially uniform rate through a dilute phase fluidized bed of another particulate solid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 1977
    Date of Patent: March 23, 1982
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company
    Inventors: John E. Gwyn, Scott C. Roberts
  • Patent number: 4210492
    Abstract: A process for pyrolysis of coal wherein the subdivided coal is preheated, pyrolyzed, and subjected to heat recovery after pyrolysis, heat transfer being effected by contacting the subdivided coal as a dilute-phase fluidized bed in the first stage of dual preheating zones with a first particulate heat carrier, with a second particulate heat carrier in a dense-phase fluidized bed in the second preheating stage, followed by pyrolysis in a dense-phase fluidized bed pyrolysis zone. The separate particulate heat carriers are employed in such manner that one mass of heat carrier is utilized for preheating the subdivided coal in the first stage and heat recovery, and a second mass of heat carrier is utilized for pyrolysis of the coal and the second stage preheating.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 1977
    Date of Patent: July 1, 1980
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company
    Inventor: Scott C. Roberts
  • Patent number: 4186079
    Abstract: An integrated process for production of light hydrocarbons and synthesis gas is disclosed. The process is characterized by pyrolysis of hydrocarbonaceous materials utilizing a solid particulate heat carrier, the heat carrier also providing heat for the conversion of a carbonaceous material to synthesis gas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 1978
    Date of Patent: January 29, 1980
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company
    Inventor: Scott C. Roberts
  • Patent number: 4110193
    Abstract: A retorting process for recovery of hydrocarbonaceous fluids from subdivided solid materials, specifically oil shale, is described wherein the subdivided solid material is preheated, retorted, and subjected to heat recovery after retorting, heat transfer being effected by contacting the subdivided solid material as a dilute-phase fluidized bed in a separate preheating zone with a first particulate heat carrier, and with a second particulate heat carrier in a dense fluidized bed in a retorting zone. Separate particulate heat carriers are employed in such manner that one mass of heat carrier is utilized for preheating the solid material and heat recovery, and a second mass of heat carrier is utilized for retorting of the subdivided preheated solid material.
