1. A common purpose apparatus system in which physical and chemical reactions of carbonaceous materials with oxygen bearing gases and preheated gases are carried out; thermo chemical transformation of carbonaceous materials into gaseous and liquid fuels is carried out; carbonaceous fuels are combusted and energy there from is recovered; hydrocarbon-contaminated materials are remediated; and bio-chars from biomass are produced, comprising:
a rotary kiln reactor, a feeder to introduce carbonaceous materials into the rotary kiln reactor, a port for introducing carbonaceous material at a front end of the rotary kiln reactor, an exit port for removal of solids at a far end of the rotary kiln reactor, a stationary gas distributor positioned inside the rotary kiln reactor, a Stage 2 reactor following the rotary kiln reactor, an apparatus in which oxygen-bearing gases are introduced into the stationary gas distributor, an apparatus in which a direction of gas from the stationary gas distributor is controlled, an apparatus in which water and liquid carbonaceous materials are introduced into the rotary kiln reactor, an apparatus in which fuel, steam, and oxygen-bearing gases are introduced into the Stage 2 reactor, an indirect gas cooler in which gases generated from the Stage reactor are cooled resulting in cooled gases and in which heat from the gases being cooled is recovered in the form of steam, a liquid condensate collector to recover hydrocarbon liquids from the cooled gases, an apparatus in which the cooled gases are cleaned to remove particulates and agents of greenhouse gases, a burner in which combustible gases are combusted, wherein hot gases are generated from reaction of combustible gases with oxygen-bearing gases, a steam turbine to generate electricity from steam, and a gas engine to generate electricity from combustible gases. |
