Method of oil-slime processing

Method of oil-slime processing

Invention relates to processing of oil slimes. Solid oil slimes are processed by separate withdrawal of oil-slime top layer and oil-slime bottom layer from accumulation pit. Oil-contaminated soil is separated from oil-slime bottom layer and fed to biodecomposition site or used as insulation material at domestic and industrial wastes store pit. Both said oil-slime layers are combined or modified by dilution with light oil fraction. Oil-slime thus processed is fed to heat exchanger, heater and forced to shower. Thereafter, it is sprayed. Flue gas flows upward in counter current to oil slime. Oil slime is heated to 120-140°C at the rate of 143-+15 degree/sec. Then, heating is performed in compliance with dwg. 2 to 340-350°C at the rate of 10-+2 degree/sec. Note here that extraction oil fractions is carried out at final stage of heating. Extraction of oil fractions results in production of tar for road bitumen, light oil fraction to be used as boiler fuel or as additive to hydraulic cleaning stock.

Method of integrated waste management for oily wastes with random composition and plant for its implementation

Method of integrated waste management for oily wastes with random composition and plant for its implementation

Method of integrated waste management for oily wastes with random composition with production wide range of energy sources include low-temperature pyrolysis with heating source, before pyrolysis oily wastes with random composition are sorted during accumulation, mixed mechanically in the preset ratio and homogenised thermally with moisture evaporation by flue gases at temperature of 100-130°C, in process pyrolysis gas is sent to condensation unit in order to separate light hydrocarbon fractions from heavy ones. Light fractions are directed to rectification tower with production of benzene, kerosene and diesel fuel, heave fractions with residual oil from condensation unit are delivered to pre-activation unit where oxidation cracking takes place within temperature range of 250-350°C with air purging with ratio of 1:(300-500); after oxidation cracking activated heave fractions are delivered to catalytic cracking for additional production of benzene, kerosene and diesel fuel and fuel oil, bitumen and tar oil; after pyrolysis solid pyrolysate is transferred and water-gas generator, flue combustion gases from condensation column are delivered to water-gas generator, at that flue combustion gases are enriched by superheated steam and in solid pyrolysate they are converted to gaseous energy carrier - water gas. Additionally one proposes a plant for the method implementation.
