A Heated Airlock Feeder is disclosed. The Heated Airlock Feeder allows for the continuous feeding of solid, shredded plastic into a reactor tube surrounded by clamshell burner boxes. Inside of the reactor tube, two augers, one with right hand flights and one with left hand flights are welded to smooth augers to create two continuous augers that push solid plastic material, liquid plastic material and molten plastic material through two small holes. As the plastic is in its molten state while being forced through the two small holes, an airlock is formed preventing air form entering the system. As the solid, shredded plastic is fed into the system, an airlock is formed allowing for the continuous feeding of the system. The clamshell burner boxes allow for convection and radiant heat allowing for even, continuous heat.

A method for transforming waste into carbon in a reactor, said method comprising: a) drying the waste by submitting said waste to a pressure of at least 3 bar, and a temperature of at least 250° C.; b) releasing the water vapor out of the reactor, and; c) carbonizing at least partially the waste by maintaining said waste during a period of time of at least 5 minutes to a pressure of at least 3 bar, and a temperature of at least 250° C., thereby obtaining carbon; and d) optionally separating non-organic material from the obtained carbon.

A process for converting waste plastic into oil includes: subjecting the waste plastic to be in contact with a plurality of far-infrared ray heating rods in a reactor which contains an agitator configured to distribute the waste plastic; converting the waste plastic into a liquid form resultant decomposition by thermal decomposition and pyrolysis in the reactor; fractionating the resultant decomposition product to obtain gas, light oil, and crude diesel oil; obtaining a sludge from a bottom portion of the reactor and transferring the sludge to a blending tank; transferring the light oil to the blending tank; mixing the sludge and the light oil using a high-speed shearing machine to produce a sludge and light oil mixture; transferring the sludge and light oil mixture to a homogenizer; and blending the sludge and light oil mixture at the homogenizer to form a blended oil.
