A system for the decomposing organic matter which may be used as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with other prior art organic decomposition systems. The system includes a thermally insulated enclosure, a reaction vessel within the insulated enclosure, an entry port for the introduction of organic matter into the reaction vessel, a substantially round metal surface within the reaction vessel and onto which organic matter is introduced, burners located beneath the reaction vessel to heat the round metal surface to between 500 and 1,400 degrees F., at least one paddle inside the reaction vessel rotating on a central axis about the metal surface to agitate the organic matter as it rests on the metal surface, an exit port for the discharge of solid materials from the reaction vessel and thermally insulated enclosure, and an exit port for the exhaustion of gases generated within the reaction vessel that can then be condensed into liquids or retained in gaseous forms. The benefits of the present invention include, among other things, simple mechanics, high surface-to-volume ratio to allow more organic matter to be exposed to the heated surface, self-cleaning mechanisms, ease in adaptability with other systems, and high heat capacity. |
