Abstract
A method for producing combustible products such as a low viscosity liquid fuel and fuel gas is provided in which asphaltene is pyrolyzed together with a low grade solid fuel containing materials or minerals which have catalytic properties such as oil shale, certain types of low grade coal, etc. Preferably, according to the present invention the step of pyrolyzing asphaltene together with oil shale is carried out by adding asphaltene to a pyrolyzer, adding oil shale to a pyrolyzer, combusting carbonaceous material remaining in the pyrolyzer by supplying the remaining carbonaceous material to a combustor preferably separate from the pyrolyzer and adding ash produced by the combustion of the carbonaceous material to the pyrolyzer. Such pyrolysis is advantageous since oil shale and other such materials have many catalytic qualities which can aid in the cracking of the asphaltene as well as in capturing sulfur or compounds of sulfur. In addition, in a further embodiment of the present invention, a method of producing combustible products such as low viscosity fuel and fuel gas is also provided comprising pyrolyzing asphaltene together with ash produced from low grade fuel such as oil shale. In this embodiment less fuel is obtained. Moreover, the present invention comprises providing apparatus for carrying the above mentioned method steps of the present invention.
