Abstract
A $6.5 million project to apply recent advances in fluidized-bed processing to the hydroretorting of eastern oil shale is getting under way. The project, which is to be directed by the Institute for Gas Technology (IGT) under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, will involve subcontracts with a number of universities and companies and will continue for three years. Although proceeding with little fanfare, the project is but one example of recent attempts to develop needed alternative energy technologies for the future. At the core of the program is development of a pressurized fluidizedbed hydroretorting (PFH) process designed by IGT. The proposed PFH process combines IGT's experience in both fluidization and shale retorting. IGT has been active for many years in developing coal gasification processes and, more recently, in developing processes for the utilization of eastern oil shale as an alternative energy source. The principal product of the project will be data for ...
