Waste recycling system

摘要

A portable reactor system for pyrolysis of waste plastic materials is provided. The reactor system can be easily scaled up or down and can be operated directly at the location where waste plastic materials are generated. Methods converting the plastic materials into fuel and other useful materials are also provided.

主权项

1. A system for converting waste hydrocarbon materials into fuel, the system comprising:
a first reactor section and a second reactor section arranged vertically relative to one another, the first reaction section communicates with the second reactor section through a connection conduit; at least one conveyor for communicating the waste hydrocarbon materials through the first and second sections; at least one heater for heating the first and second sections to cause the feedstock to convert to gas phase fuel products; and, a condensing section downstream from and in communication with the first and second reactor sections for condensing at least one liquid fuel product from the gas phase fuel products, further comprising a plurality of collection conduits for communicating the gas phase fuel to a manifold that is upstream of the condensing section, and further comprising a heater for maintaining the manifold at a temperature sufficient to keep the gas phase fuel in a gaseous state.
