摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for thermally treating organic material in order to separate carbon from organic material, wherein the apparatus (1) comprises a combustion chamber (5) for thermal treatment of organic material, said combustion chamber (5) comprises a combustion apparatus (7) for heating said combustion chamber (5), the apparatus (1) comprises conveyor means (3) for conveying organic material during thermal treatment, said conveyor means (3) extending through the combustion chamber (5) from the outside of the combustion chamber (5) and to the outside of the combustion chamber (5) and is closed from the combustion chamber (5). The conveyor means (3) is configured for distributing heat from the combustion chamber (5) to the organic material such that the organic material is thermally treated and said conveyor means (3) is configured for conveying also pyrolysis gas developed during said thermal treatment. The apparatus (1) comprises feeding means (2) for receiving organic material and feeding said organic material to the conveyor means (3), said feeding means (2) being arranged outside of the combustion chamber (5), and removal means (4) for removing the thermally treated organic material from the conveyor means (3). A pipeline (8) is arranged outside of the combustion chamber (5) for conveying pyrolysis gas coming through the conveyor means (3) and from the conveyor means (3) through said pipeline (8) to the combustion apparatus (7) such that the pyrolysis gas cools down and is burned in the combustion apparatus (7) for creating heat inside the combustion chamber (5). The invention also relates to a method for using said apparatus. |
