Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0107477A1] A method for the recovery of oil from solid hydrocarbonaceous material and particularly from oil shale by retorting fresh feed shale and heat medium particles using a fluidized bed. The invention uses a self supporting dense phase fluidized bed in a retort (20) without the need to use an external fluid for fluidization. Also described is a control system for the method whereby feed stock input rate is controlled as a function of flow rate of oil vapour products given off, and whereby heat medium particle input rate is controlled as a function of the temperature of either the retort bed or of the oil vapour product.
