The present disclosure provides an apparatus for pyrolysing a carbonaceous material and producing char and volatiles. The apparatus comprises a vessel having an inlet for the carbonaceous material, an outlet for the char and the volatiles, and a first pathway therebetween. The vessel has wall portions with interior surfaces that define the first pathway. Further, the vessel has a heat exchange medium inlet, a heat exchange medium outlet and a second pathway therebetween. The first and second pathways are in heat exchange proximity to each other and the second pathway is defined by interior surfaces of the, or other, wall interior portions of the vessel. At least some of the interior wall portions of the vessel project into an interior space of the vessel such that at least one of the first and second pathways is non-linear and a heat transfer surface area is increased compared to linear first and second pathways. In addition, the apparatus comprises an agitator for passing carbonaceous material, produced char and volatiles through the first pathway. |
