PYROLYSIS DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME FOR TREATING HOUSEHOLD AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE

摘要

Pyrolysis reactor whereby shredded waste is continuously passed through a rotating retort 10 heated indirectly and forming a pyrolysis chamber B in a retort assembly R in which the waste is transformed into carbonaceous material, combustible pyrogenic gas and organic liquids. The carbonaceous material is discharged to a vertically extending bed through which steam and air are simultaneously supplied to produce a combustible gas which is used for the burner heating the retort assembly R Fuel supply to the device Burner capacity can be increased by diverting some of the pyrogenic gas which can be removed from the reactor for storage. /P P The flue gases from the retort assembly R can be sent to a heat exchanger to transform water to steam, which steam can be used to feed steam through the bed of carbonaceous material and for energy production uses.
