Distillation reactor module

Abstract

The distillation reactor consists of a reactor apparatus with corresponding method of upstream distilling and purification of carbon based liquid or liquidized streams for use as fuels, lubricating oils and or gaseous energy and electricity production. The distillation reactor consolidates the atmospheric and vacuum distillation processes along with desalting, defueling, deasphalting, fractionation, thin/wiped film evaporation and Hydro finishing into an advanced high velocity, high volume single reactor system. Carbon based feed streams include either a single stream or preferably, a combined stream of liquefied coal slurries, crude oils, spent oils, Pyrolyic oils and or peat or other plant carbon derived liquids, vapors, mists or gases. The method further consists of controlling the mix ratio, flow velocity, sequential fractionation and filtration technology and processing atmospheres of the carbon feeds with the reactor apparatus. The combined apparatus and method allows for a refinery to consistently produce a finished barrel of oil well below traditional costs and at a higher efficiency than current art and prior art.
