Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF DISPOSABLE HYDROCARBONS INTO DIESEL AND HEATING OIL FUELS AND CONVERSION OF BIOMASS INTO BIODIESEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/119209
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The disclosure is of a method and apparatus for conversion of disposable hydrocarbons into diesel and heating oil fuels and conversion of biomass into biodiesel fuel. The apparatus comprises a feed stock tank, a preparation tank for first stage warming of the feedstock, a first heat exchanger to separate out water as steam and light ends, a stack to vent steam to the atmosphere, a second heat exchanger to raise the temperature to that necessary for processing the feedstock in a cracking kettle, a fume incinerator burning the light ends to generate heat for the first and second heat exchangers, a distillation column to process the gases from the cracking kettle, a condenser to convert gas to liquid #2 diesel fuel, a filter and chiller unit, and storage tanks to hold the fuels and residuals. Retained heat in the residuals is used to preheat the feedstock to save energy.
