PYROLYSIS SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for pyrolysis of waste feed material. Some systems include a main retort and a secondary retort. Syngas is produced by pyrolysis in the main retort, and is then mixed with combustion air and ignited, in some cases to produce energy. Carbon char travels to the secondary retort and is exhausted from the system through an airlock.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
delivering a feedstock to a main retort that is disposed within a combustion chamber containing one or more burners; utilizing the burners to generate hot flue gases and thereby at least partially pyrolyze the feedstock, generating syngas; and drawing the flue gases and syngas into a mixing chamber by applying a negative pressure to the main retort and combustion chamber.
