Described herein is an apparatus (10), system (300) and method for pyrolysing and combusting a material. One described embodiment provides an apparatus (10) comprising one or more crucibles (50, 51) for receiving a material to be pyrolysed and combusted therein and one or more heating tubes (100-210) disposed in proximity to the crucible(s) (50, 51). The or each heating tube (100-210) is configured for receiving byproduct(s) produced during pyrolysis and combustion of the material within the crucible(s) (50, 51) and pyrolising and combusting the byproduct(s) to produce flue gas from the byproduct(s).

Flue gases are produced in a combustion chamber of a burner unit, in particular for the combustion of exhaust air. Combustion gas can be supplied to a gas burner via a combustion gas line and feed air, in particular exhaust air that can be used as feed air, is supplied to said burner via a feed air line. The feed air is divided into primary air and secondary air by a device. The primary air is mixed with the combustion gas, in a mixing zone, to form a primary air/combustion gas mixture, said primary air/combustion gas mixture being supplied to the combustion chamber. A flue gas re-circulation system comprises a through-flow chamber which is connected to the combustion chamber and in which the secondary air is mixed with the flue gases occurring in the combustion chamber to form a secondary air/flue-gas mixture. The secondary air/flue-gas mixture is supplied to the primary air/combustion gas mixture in the combustion chamber by means of a device. At least one internal cylindrical surface of the through-flow chamber forms a Coanda profile in the direction of flow. A device for the temperature control of objects, in particular for drying painted vehicle bodies, comprises a temperature-control tunnel that is accommodated in a housing and that defines at least one tunnel section comprising at least one air outlet and at least one air inlet. A heating assembly, in which a hot primary gas can be generated by means of a burner unit of this type, is associated with the tunnel section.

A heat exchange device effectively collects heat in a device, in which high temperature occurs, such as a scrubber. The heat exchange device includes a first heat exchange unit having a reactor positioned on the center thereof and having a first passage, which is arranged to enclose the reactor and discharges a first gas generated in the reactor, and a second passage, which is arranged adjacent to the first passage and introduces a second gas introduced from the outside. A second heat exchange unit is installed to enclose the first heat exchange unit and having a third passage, which is connected to the first passage and receives the first gas from the first passage to discharge the first gas to the outside, and a fourth passage, which is arranged adjacent to the third passage and introduces the second gas introduced from the outside into the second passage.

A natural gas system includes a pneumatic controller configured to discharge vent gas, an expansion vessel configured to discharge an expanded pilot gas, wherein the expansion vessel includes an internal volume configured to expand the vent gas discharged from the pneumatic controller whereby the expanded pilot gas discharged from the outlet port falls within a predefined discharge pressure range, a vent gas flowpath extending from the pneumatic controller to the expansion vessel, a burner assembly coupled to the expansion vessel and configured to ignite the expanded pilot gas discharged by the expansion vessel, and a pilot gas flowpath extending from the expansion vessel to the burner assembly.

An apparatus for thermal exhaust gas purification includes at least one thermal reactor to which a raw gas to be purified is supplied and in which the supplied raw gas is thermally purified, and an energy recovery apparatus to which a gas purified in the thermal reactor is supplied via at least one outlet line. For improving the balance of energy, it is proposed that the energy recovery apparatus includes at least one condensation heat exchanger in which the purified gas is cooled down such that condensable substances contained in the purified gas condense, and enthalpies released thereby are transmitted to a heat exchange medium and/or the raw gas upstream of the thermal reactor.

Combustion gas can be supplied to a gas burner via a combustion gas line and feed air, in particular exhaust air that can be used as feed air, is supplied to said burner via a feed air line.

A flue gas re-circulation system comprises a through-flow chamber which is connected to the combustion chamber and in which the secondary air is mixed with the flue gases occurring in the combustion chamber to form a secondary air/flue-gas mixture. The secondary air/flue-gas mixture is supplied to the primary air/combustion gas mixture in the combustion chamber by means of a device. At least one internal cylindrical surface of the through-flow chamber forms a Coanda profile in the direction of flow. A device for the temperature control of objects, in particular for drying painted vehicle bodies, comprises a temperature-control tunnel that is accommodated in a housing and that defines at least one tunnel section comprising at least one air outlet and at least one air inlet.

A recuperative burner (20) for introducing a process air (A) to be treated into the combustion space (15) of the combustion chamber of a thermal process air treatment device (10) and for discharging the flue gas (E) from the combustion space (15) comprises a heat transfer sector (40) having an internal space (46) in which a plurality of process air tubes (43) for introducing the process air (A) to the combustion space (15) extend.

A method for handling a vent gas mixture originating from a fuel system and comprising fuel vapours and inert gas. The method involves: directing the vent gas mixture from the fuel system to a condenser, the condenser condensing at least a majority of the fuel vapours into liquid fuel such that the vent gas mixture comprises liquid fuel and inert gas, separating the liquid fuel and the inert gas of the vent gas mixture from the condenser in a vapour-liquid separator, and selectively directing the liquid fuel from the separator to a boiler system, when the boiler system is in a hot condition and is ready to receive and combust the liquid fuel of the vent gas mixture, or storing the liquid fuel in the separator and/or in a separate storage tank until the boiler system is in the hot condition and is ready to receive/combust the liquid fuel.
