Abstract
A method for heating agglomerating slurries in association with a method and apparatus for heating such slurries to supercritical conditions by electrical resistance. A feed slurry and a dilution stream are passed in admixture to a heating zone, and heated. A portion of the heated admixture is separated to provide the dilution stream, which is substantially free of agglomerating solids, to lower agglomeration in the heating zone. Preferably, the solid particles of the dilution stream are comminuted between separation of the dilution stream and before admixture with the feed slurry.
