| 摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention provide a substantially self contained processing unit for performing pyrolysis of hydrocarbon-containing material, the unit comprising: a reactor vessel arranged to receive material to be pyrolysed; a source of microwave radiation; and control means for controlling the unit, the unit being operable by means of the control means to irradiate material contained within the reactor vessel with microwave radiation thereby to heat the material to evolve hydrocarbon compounds therefrom, the unit being operable to provide a flow of evolved hydrocarbons from pyrolysed material to a storage means. |
