Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a lid, a cooking chamber, an engine, and one or more processors. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The engine is configured to output heat to the cooking chamber. The one or more processors are configured to detect a closing movement of the lid. In response to detecting the closing movement, the one or more processors are configured to command the engine to operate in an increased output mode that increases the heat output of the engine.

Boiler equipment includes: a combustion device including a combustion chamber to combust fuel supplied to the combustion device; a combustion furnace including a combustion chamber formed inside thereof; and a heat exchanger transferring thermal energy obtained by combustion of the fuel in the combustion device to water. The combustion device is directly connected to a wall part of the combustion furnace such that the combustion chamber of the combustion device faces the combustion chamber of the combustion furnace. The fuel is efficiently combusted in the combustion chambers of the combustion device and the combustion furnace, which are integrated with each other. Thus, almost no ash is generated.

A recycling disposal system is provided, the system efficiently combining the respective devices of a shredder, a carbonization furnace, and a gasification furnace to provide a new system combining low-temperature asbestos detoxification processing technology with biomass processing and recycling technology, and capable of energy-self-sufficient processing when operated in a disaster area.

A garbage supply device, which supplies waste to a gasification furnace that gasifies waste, includes a casing, two feed screws provided in the casing, and a middle shaft that is provided between the two supply screws, has a plurality of protrusions, and is repeatedly rotated forward or backward.

A biomass gasification system for producing aqueous or water gases after biomass has been carbonized is disclosed. Temperatures of a thermal decomposition and gasification furnace can be quickly and uniformly stabilized with smaller thermal loss. Reaction residuals after thermal decomposition and gasification are prevented from adhering on the inner surface of the system. The biomass gasification system comprises: a main body, a first cylindrical member, a first cut-out member, a first cylinder accommodating therein a first screw conveyor, a second cylindrical member, a second cut-out member, a second cylinder accommodating therein a second screw conveyor. The first cylinder is so constructed that it penetrates the main body, the first cylindrical member and the first cut-out member in an axial direction. The first screw conveyor, the second screw conveyor and the second cut-out member have a plurality of gasifying agent ports, respectively.

A waste material supply device includes a hopper into which a waste material is supplied, a first rubbish supply apparatus having an inlet connected to an outlet of the hopper and a pusher configured to push out the waste material in a horizontal direction, a connecting chute having an upper portion connected to an outlet of the first rubbish supply apparatus to form a space extending upward and downward, and a second rubbish supply apparatus having an inlet connected to a lower portion of the connecting chute and a screw configured to convey the waste material in an axial direction according to rotation about an axis thereof, wherein the first rubbish supply apparatus has a plurality of pushers in a widthwise direction, and each of the pushers is able to be individually manipulated.

A method and apparatus are described for supplying municipal solid waste (MSW), and/or other types of solid waste comprising both organic waste material and inorganic waste material, into a plasma gasifier reactor (PGR) in which the solid waste is to be processed.

A gasifier may include a chamber wall defining a gasification chamber configured to allow gasification of feedstock material. The gasifier may also include an ash grate disposed in the gasification chamber. The gasifier may further include a rotary crusher disposed in the gasification chamber above the ash grate. The rotary crusher may include at least one crushing element. The rotary crusher may be configured to break apart, between the at least one crushing element and an opposing surface, the feedstock material responsive to rotation of the rotary crusher.

A plastic pyrolytic conversion vessel comprises a conveying mechanism for moving a liquid, or a semi-molten, or a molten waste material, or a solid inert residue, or any combination thereof through the vessel. During pyrolyzation of the waste material, the same is heated and vaporized and undergoes in situ chemical reactions comprising cracking, recombination, reforming, recracking, and the like, and is subsequently removed from the vessel. A plurality of scraper blades serve to mix the liquid, or the semi-molten, or the molten waste material, or a solid inert residue, or any combination thereof and convey the waste material forward toward a vessel egress. In another embodiment, one or more sweeping devices serve to move forward the waste material that is located between adjacent rotating conveyor devices.
