System and method for a constituent rendering of biomass and other carbon-based materials

摘要

A system and method for a constituent rendering of biomass and other carbon-based materials is provided. The system can be configured for receiving a feedstock material to be rendered into its constituent components, grinding the feedstock to a desired size and/or consistency, and placing the feedstock in contact with a hot mix heat transfer medium within a pressure chamber. In an aspect, the system can utilize a feedstock input system to receive the feedstock material, with the feedstock input system including an auger feed tube, at least one feed stock auger screw, a grinding station with a die configured to interact with the feed stock auger screw, and a movable compression gate. Pyrolysis of the feedstock can lead to a breakdown of the feedstock into constituent components that can then be collected.
