Title: Method of drying wood collected into stacks
Inventor: MUEHLBOECK KURT
IPC: F26B21/02
Filed: 2007-03-23
Abstract: A method of drying wood collected in stacks (2) using a drying gas stream flowing through the wood stack (2) is described which, with removal of moist exhaust gas (8) downstream of the wood stacks (2) and feed of fresh gas (9) upstream of the wood stacks (2), is in part circulated through the wood stacks (2), wherein the wood is dried more rapidly at a moisture content above the fibre saturation than at a moisture content below the fibre saturation.

Abstract: A method of recovering hydrocarbons from hydro carbonaceous materials can include forming a constructed permeability control infrastructure (100). This constructed infrastructure defines a substantially encapsulated volume. A comminuted hydro carbonaceous material can be introduced into the control infrastructure to form a permeable body (120) of hydro carbonaceous material. The permeable body (120) can be heated sufficient to remove hydrocarbons therefrom such as by using heating conduits (118,126). During heating the hydro carbonaceous material is substantially stationary as the constructed infrastructure (100) is a fixed structure. Removed hydrocarbons can be collected as liquid products (136) and gaseous products (140) for further processing, use in the process, and/or use as recovered.
