A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A DUAL BED OIL SAND PYROLYSER FOR SYN-CRUDE PRODUCTION
IntroductionOil sand is sandy mixture with heavy oil substance. It is found massively in the north and south America. It has been developed from the 70s as alternative source of crude oil. It requires primary processing to reduce viscosity and density to be further utilized in conventional refineries. Due to the recent oil price hike the demand of oil sand crude is rapidly increasing and it is one of the main oil products in Canada. This research focused on the primary upgrading of oil sand bitumen. An on site oil sand up grading process is designed for a shallow bed oil sand mines. About 25% of shallow bed oil sand mines where the process water is hard to get, the public utility can not reach, and the bitumen should be recovered after aboveground mining are the targeted for this project. To cope with the difficulties of primary up grading in remote areas, a thermal upgrading process of direct cracking of bitumen with sand is designed. The process is designed to save water and to supply heat by burning residual carbon during the process. In this process the fluidizing pyrolysis and combustion of carbonaceous residue is performed simultaneously between two parallel reactors.
