Abstract:
A system and method for performing pyrolysis comprises a reactor through which organic material is conveyed from an upstream end toward a downstream end and within which said pyrolysis will occur; a combustion chamber fluidically connected to the downstream end of the reactor; an output pipe fluidically connected to the downstream end of the reactor; a capsule surrounding a first part of the reactor and into an internal portion of which heated thermal fluids are disposed for heating the first part of said reactor; and a plurality of electrical resistors disposed around a second part of the reactor for heating the second part of the reactor; whereby, as a result of the pyrolysis occurring within the reactor, the syngas is conducted toward the combustion chamber while the carbonized material is conducted outwardly from the reactor through the output pipe.
Abstract:
A process and an apparatus for pyrolysis of mixed plastic feedstock producing petroleum products are described. In one example, a process for producing petroleum products includes charging feedstock of mixed polymer materials into a reactor apparatus. Heat energy is applied to the feedstock while advancing the feedstock through the reactor apparatus in an anaerobic operation. The energy input to the reactor apparatus is controlled by controlling a temperature gradient within the reactor vessel to produce petroleum gas product. The process involves in situ chemical reactions comprising cracking and recombination reactions that that are controlled to convert solid hydrocarbonaceous portion of the feedstock to molten fluids and gases inside the reactor vessel and to produce gaseous petroleum products which exit the reactor vessel. The separated solid residue from the pyrolysis process is also removed from the reactions vessel.
Abstract:
A process for thermal cracking of a feedstock of plastic materials, in particular waste materials, includes the steps of melting the feedstock, conveying melted feedstock in a pyrolysis chamber where the melted feedstock is heated in a substantially oxygen purged environment, to convert it into pyrolysis gases, the process further comprising the steps of: driving pyrolysis gases from the pyrolysis chamber into a tray reflux column comprising a partial condenser at its upper extremity, returning pyrolysis gases condensed in the tray reflux column into the pyrolysis chamber, distilling pyrolysis gases exiting the partial condenser of the reflux column, to provide one or more fuel products.
Abstract:
A process and plant for the thermocatalytic conversion of waste materials into reusable fuels and a fuel produced by the process, involving the steps of delivering melted waste material to one or more pyrolysis chambers via heated and valved manifolds and effecting pyrolysis of the waste material into a gaseous state in an oxygen purged and pressure controlled environment. Pyrolytic gases are then transferred to a catalytic converter where the molecular structure of the gaseous material is altered in structure and form, with gases then transferred to one or more condensers to distil and cool gases in to their respective fractions. After post pyrolysis treatment, fuel fractions form a useable fuel.
Abstract:
A system and method of converting tires or other solid carbon based material is disclosed, including providing a chamber, feeding the solid carbon based material into the chamber, rotating the chamber, heating and reducing the material in the chamber, collecting solid residue from the chamber, collecting vapor from the chamber, and converting vapor collected from the chamber to a liquid. In an embodiment, the material includes a whole tire. The tire is heated in the chamber causing the tire to collapse and liquefy, exposing the metal in the tire which aids in grinding the carbon material in the tire as it tumbles, collecting solid residue, for example tire carbons, and collecting vapor, for example vaporized oil, and benzene and methane gas from the chamber and converting the oil. The chamber may be heated to a temperature from about 350° F. to about 1100° F. using gases reclaimed from the material.

Abstract:
Method and equipment for producing coke (PC) during indirectly heated gasification, in which coal particles are supplied to a gasification reactor (1) and process gas (P) supplied during the gasification is reduced in it to synthesis gas (S), whereby the synthesis gas (S) is removed from the gasification reactor (1). The method is distinguished in that at the same time a gasification takes place, a coking of coal takes place in an inner reactor (4) arranged inside the gasification reactor (1), that the inner reactor (4) is indirectly heated, that coke (PC) and combustible gases are produced in the inner reactor (4) during the coking, and that the combustible gases are used for the indirect heating in the gasification in the gasification reactor (1).
Abstract:
A method and device is provided which is capable of producing gasified substance and solid-shaped carbonized substances from solid-shaped wastes such as waste tyres by a series of heating, dry distillation and splitting decomposition. After discharging out from the bottom of a splitting decomposition reactor, the solid-shaped carbonized substances are subject to a series of treatments: water washing, magnetic separating, alkaline cleaning and acid pickling (treatment) to separate out iron wire and to remove heavy metal-bearing ash contents. The carbonized substances are next pulverized to the desired particle size so that highly purified carbon black is formed. Subsequently, the carbon black granules are led into an activation furnace and are heated and activated at the atmosphere of steam being passed in to produce powder particulate activated carbon. On the other hand, from the gasified substance produced by-products of the combustible oil and gas are respectively formed. This combustible oil and/or combustible gas can be led into the splitting decomposition reactor and the activation furnace as fuels for heating on the outside of the furnace and where the remaining portion of which may be sold to the outside. The above process of treatments is accomplished at an intermittent and continuous way and recovery rate of the activated carbon is high whereas the treatment time is shortened.
Abstract:
A discharge system is used with a tire liquefaction process using a reactor. The system includes a receiver receiving unreacted components, including oil coated metal, from the reactor. The unreacted components are moved through a pyrolysis reactor where they are heated to a temperature sufficient to convert the unreacted hydrocarbon components to a liquid and to gas by way of pyrolysis. The liquid and the majority of gas are drawn off from the pyrolysis reactor. Discharge apparatus connected to the pyrolysis reactor converts the remaining gas to a condensate and discharges the metal. The condensate is also removed for further use.
