| 摘要 |
The invention provides a pyrolysis (or gasification) apparatus for the pyrolysis of fuel, comprising: a static pyrolysis chamber comprising an inner surface defining a fuel contact surface, wherein the chamber is configured to be heated such that the fuel contact surface is maintained substantially at a desired temperature; the chamber further comprising a fuel inlet 22 and an outlet 23; and fuel transportation means, for moving fuel from the fuel inlet to the outlet, which means comprise: a shelf 5 located within the chamber, below the fuel inlet and above the outlet, to receive fuel failing from the fuel inlet, the shelf defining a hole 21 adjacent to the fuel contact surface; and a fuel contact member 8 configured to move fuel over the shelf towards the fuel contact surface until the fuel falls through the hole in said shelf. Advantages of the invention include a reduction in manufacturing and maintenance costs, increased levels of safety of a pyrolysis gasifier and an improved gas product quality. |
