A pyrolysis furnace having a heating chamber which surrounds a cylindrical pyrolysis chamber. The heating chamber is assembled from an upper part and a lower part, which can be joined. Each part of the heating chamber is provided with two rows of heating elements, which are arranged along the length of the housing of the heating chamber symmetrically relative to a vertical plane passing through the axis of the pyrolysis chamber. The heating elements are in the form of units, containing at least one flameless gas burner. The heating elements in the upper part of the heating chamber are arranged in a checkerboard fashion relative to the heating elements in the lower part. The furnace relates to power generation and the environment and is intended for the thermal processing of solid and free-flowing materials, particularly in processes for the pyrolysis of solid carbon-containing materials, including municipal and domestic waste.

The invention relates to a refractory product, a batch composition for producing said product, a method for producing the product and the use of the refractory product.

There are provided processes for producing liquid fuels from a mainly organic starting material with a reduced content in water and/or with a reduced content in solids. The mainly organic starting material can be at least partially liquified and optionally further dewatered. The obtained at least partially liquid fraction can be thereafter used as feeding stream that is submitted to a pyrolysis treatment resulting in a solid gas fraction allowing the recovering of a liquid fuels after a controlled liquid solid separation treatment. There are also provided various other processes for producing liquid fuel from waste hydrocarbon and/or organic material as well as reactors, apparatuses, uses and managing systems thereof.

The present invention relates to a heat-permeable tube which has a double-walled construction. The material of the interior wall contains ceramic matrix composite. The material of the exterior wall contains metal. The present invention further relates to the use of this tube in a rotary tube furnace and the use of the rotary tube furnace for thermal treatment of materials. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a single-walled tube containing ceramic matrix composite as rotary tube.
