ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing discrete solid particles of hydrocarbonaceous material, such as asphaltenes, in relatively dustless form includes heating the hydrocarbonaceous material, solid at standard conditions of temperature and pressure, to maintain the hydrocarbonaceous material in liquid form, and flowing the liquid hydrocarbonaceous material by gravity as an elongated annular stream into a reservoir of cooling liquid, such as cooling water, to solidify and shatter the annular stream into discrete solid particles in relatively dustless form. The apparatus includes a hopper for collecting a mass of heated liquid hydrocarbonaceous material; a heating source for heating the hydrocarbonaceous material to maintain it in liquid form; and flow channels operatively connected to the hopper at an upper level of the liquid hydrocarbonaceous material for flowing the liquid hydrocarbonaceous material in an elongated annular stream through the flow channel and into the reservoir of cooling water. Discrete solid particles are collected from the cooling water and conveyed to a drying and cooling zone and can be packaged in discrete particles of relatively uniform size in dustless form for transporting for reliquification and use on site in any industry where hydrocarbonaceous heavy materials, such as asphalt, are used.
