Enefit280 technology to produce oil, gas and electricity
Enefit is a technology that processes oil shale into oil and gas and generates electricity as a by-product.
Enefit Technology is a unique combination of processing units, each of them serving special purposes such as drying and pyrolysis of oil shale, combustion of semi-coke, as well as the dedusting and cleaning of vapors and gases. Enefit's modular design is essential to the allowance of easy maintenance, process optimisation and streamlined adaptability to the individual characteristics of different oil shale deposits.
The efficiency of the technology comes from its 100% use of the mined oil shale. All organic matter is fully utilized, and high performance in oil extraction is further aided by additional revenue streams associated with utilisation of excess heat and gas generated in the process. Waste heat is used to generate electricity, making Enefit shale oil plants net producers of electricity.
