Abstract
The report describes the Unishale B and C oil shale plants, characterizes the waste streams produced in each medium, and generally discusses the commercially available controls that can be applied to the plant waste streams. Several controls are examined in more detail for each medium to illustrate typical control technology operation. Control technology cost and performance estimates are presented, together with descriptions of the discharge streams, secondary waste streams, and energy requirements. Unishale B and C are two retorting technologies developed by UNOCAL (Union Oil Company of California). The engineering design, stream compositions, and pollution control alternatives presented do not represent or reproduce exactly those proposed or employed by UNOCAL at its Parachute facility or any other such facility. The design presented here represents one of many possible configurations for an oil shale facility based on Union's technology. Unishale B or C plants of the future can be expected to be similar to that described here.
