Filtration combustion of viscous hydrocarbon liquids

Abstract

It has been shown based on the example of a representative sample of oil refinery wastes that the process of filtration combustion in the superadiabatic mode can be used for recycling problematic liquid combustible wastes. For the steady progress of the process, the concentration of liquid combustible wastes in the mixture should not exceed 20 wt %. The addition of a small amount (5–10%) of a solid fuel to the initial mixture promotes the stabilization of the process of gasification; here, the calorific heat value of gaseous products increases.
