CHAIN DRAG SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF CARBANEOUS WASTE FEEDSTOCK AND METHOD FOR THE USE THEREOF

摘要

A drag chain carbonizer is provided with a system and methods for anaerobic thermal transformation processing to convert waste into various solid carbonized products and varied further co-products. The drag-chain carbonizer includes an adjustable bed depth mechanism, a heating mechanism, a pressure management mechanism, and a chain tensioning mechanism containing at least one position sensor for communication of an actuator position to at least one programmable logic controller (PLC). Carbonaceous waste is transformed into useful co-products that can be re-introduced into the stream of commerce at various economically advantageous points. Depending upon the input materials and the parameters selected to process the waste, including real time economic and other market parameters, the system adjusts co-products output to reflect changing market conditions.

主权项

1. A waste processing system for pyrolysis of an organic feedstock material comprising:
at least one atmospherically sealed reactor tube receiving the organic material feedstock through an inlet and having an outlet; at least one drive chain sprocket mounted on a rotatable drive axle extended through said reactor tube; a drag-chain mechanically interconnected to said at least one drive chain sprocket; at least one sealed gearbox mechanically connected to said drive axle, said sprocket and at least one variable frequency drive motor (VFD); an elevated temperature atmosphere in said reactor tube to promote the pyrolysis of the organic feedstock to produce in concurrent operation a product mix of carbonaceous material, bio-oil and ash; at least one programmable logic controller (PLC) controlling said VFD and said elevated temperature environment; at least one human machine interface (HMI) in electrical communication with said PLC; and at least one variable frequency drive motor (VFD) in electrical communication with said PLC.
