Abstract
Various embodiments of a process for pyrolyzing hydrocarbonaceous material are provided. In one embodiment the process for pyrolyzing hydrocarbonaceous material includes charging a reactor with a feed material comprising hydrocarbonaceous material, heating the feed material, and collecting liquid product from the reactor which is anaerobic in operation. At least 5% of the organic carbon atoms which are not present in an aromatic ring of a compound of the feed material are present in an aromatic ring of a compound in a liquid portion of the product.
Claims43
A process for pyrolyzing hydrocarbonaceous material, the process comprising the steps of:
- charging a reactor having an internal volume of at least about 1.7 cubic meters with feed material comprising hydrocarbonaceous material;
- heating the feed material at a heat input rate that ranges from about 0.25 kW/kg to about 27 kW/kg;
- collecting product from the reactor;
- wherein the reactor is anaerobic in operation in that the reactor contains less than about 3% by volume oxygen during the pyrolytic process;
- and
- wherein at least 5% of the organic carbon atoms which are not present in an aromatic ring of a compound of the feed material are present in an aromatic ring of a compound in a liquid portion of the product.
A process for pyrolyzing hydrocarbonaceous material, the process comprising the steps of:
- charging a reactor having a volume of at least 1.7 cubic meters with feed material, the feed material comprising carbonaceous material;
- heating the feed material at an initial heat flux rate that ranges from about 0.001 kW·m2/kg2 to about 1.5 kW·m2/kg2;
- collecting liquid product from the reactor;
- and
- wherein the reactor is anaerobic in operation in that the reactor contains less than about 3% by volume oxygen during the pyrolytic process.
