APPAREIL DE CONVERSION DES DÉCHETS SOLIDES EN PÉTROLE SYNTHÉTIQUE, GAZ ET ENGRAIS

摘要

Apparatus and method converting feedstock (e.g., chicken litter) into oil, gas, and ash fertilizer has a reformer unit with (i) a feedstock input, (ii) an outer wall, (iii) a reaction chamber with an inner wall, (iv) a combustion gas input, (v) a scrubbing liquid input, (vi) a feedstock stirrer, (vii) an ash stirrer, (viii) an ash plate below the reaction chamber, and (ix) a combined liquid/gas output. The ash plate is separated from the inner wall. Feedstock and scrubbing liquid are preferably reacted within the reaction chamber to release useful hydrocarbon liquids and gasses which migrate to the top of the reformer, while ash from the reaction falls onto the ash plate from where it is output. Liquid/gas pump structure sends the combined liquid/gas from the reformer to gas/liquid separator structure which provides a gas output and a liquid output. The gas output may be used, flamed off, and/or recirculated to the reaction chamber. Oil/water separator structure receives the liquid output and provides a (e.g., scrubbing) water output and an oil output. Processor structure controls the various motors, valves, etc., to control the inputs/outputs and the temperature of the reformer so as to cause an electric current to flow upward along the inner wall and inward toward the reaction product within the reaction chamber to cause arcing in the feedstock; which arcing disassociates molecules into atoms, thus releasing more energy. The oil is refinable, the gas is high in energy content, and the ash fertilizer is high in nitrogen.
