SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECYCLING WASTE INTO ENERGY

摘要

A system for recycling solid waste into energy or tar sands into hydrocarbons includes a heated enclosure (66), one or more input conveyors (60, 67) move waste materials through the heated enclosure, and mechanically move the waste particles and the residual solids along the flow line. A heated rotary drum (74) is in fluid communication with the flow line, and condenser unit (94, 98) receive vapors from the flow line and the rotary drum and output hydrocarbons. Control valves (80, 82) seal a vacuum downstream from the discharge conveyors, and control valves (34, 46) seal vacuum upstream from the one or more input conveyors. The solvent produced from rubber tire feedstock contains a high percent by weight of both limonene and naphthalene.
