Abstract:
A sewage treatment unit for the disposal of aqueous waste sewage from a small installation such as a service station includes a primary settling zone receiving the sewage and separating raw sludge from the water. A first pump conveys the water to a storage zone and actuates a second pump which meters in hydrogen peroxide from a supply thereof into the storage zone to reduce the COD of the water. A pump forces the settled sludge to a coking zone where it is coked in the liquid phase. The coke thus formed then passes to a pressure settling device where it is separated from the coking effluent which is recycled to the storage zone.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for disposing of aqueous sewage and for producing fresh water by coking the sewage in the liquid phase to form gases, coke and an effluent which is extracted with a hot liquid hydrogen to form a hydrocarbon-water solution and a concentrated brine. Cooling of the hydrocarbon-water solution results in the formation of distinct hydrocarbon and water phases which can be separated by gravity.
Abstract:
In the coking of spent ammonia and low pH sodium base sulfite wood pulping liquors in the liquid phase under pressure, gel-type coke formation is avoided by rapid heating to the coking temperature. Such rapid heating can be accomplished by the use of a metal bath having high heat transfer capacity, by using high pressure-high temperature steam injection or by means of a fluidized bed combustion system. The heating rate used is one of about 110* to about 150*F. per minute in the temperature interval of about 350* to about 550*F.
Abstract:
In the hydrogenation of residue-containing hydrocarbon oils, coke formation is suppressed by predissolving hydrogen in the oil at a temperature below 700* F. and carrying out the hydrogenation at a temperature above 700* F.
Abstract:
Heavy hydrocarbon oils are desulfurized in a split flow catalytic process in which the upper catalyst bed temperature is at least 875*F. and the lower catalyst bed temperature is below 850*F.
Abstract:
Presented is a process wherein spent pulping liquors used in the Alkaline Sulfite Process for pulping wood and having a pH of about 9 to 12 are coked in the liquid phase in a coking zone at about 450*F to 750*F and autogenous pressure of 100 to 3000 psig for 0.5 minute to 6 hours. The gases, liquid effluent and coke which form are separated. The coke is washed for removal of salts and dried with flue gas. Next, the dried coke and the gas are burned to produce steam, supply heat for coking and to generate SO2 in the flue gas. Some of the effluent is flashed in a flashing zone to produce water for washing the coke followed by heat exchange of the bottoms from the flashing zone with the spent liquors to preheat the same. Other portions of the effluent are recombined and reconstituted for use as pulping liquor. No pH reduction is necessary prior to coking and the COD of the effluent is normally about 75 percent less than that of the starting liquors.
