Methods and apparatus for compact and easily maintainable waste reformation. Some embodiments include a rotary oven reformer adapted and configured to provide synthesis gas from organic waste. Some embodiments include a rotary oven with simplified operation both as to reformation of the waste, usage of the synthesized gas and other products, and easy removal of the finished waste products, preferably in a unit of compact size for use in austere settings. Yet other embodiments include Fischer-Tropsch reactors of synthesized gas. Some of these reactors include heat exchanging assemblies that provide self-cleaning effects, efficient utilization of waste heat, and ease of cleaning.

One variation of a method for converting tires into pyrolytic byproducts includes: in a pyrolytic reactor, thermally depolymerizing a volume of rubber extracted from tires within an inert atmosphere into pyrolytic synthetic gas and solid carbonaceous material; within a centrifuge, removing from the pyrolytic synthetic gas residual solid carbonaceous material carried over from the pyrolytic reactor into the exhaust gas channel; within a vapor-liquid separator, separating vapor-phase pyrolytic synthetic gas from liquid-phase synthetic gas; depositing the liquid-phase synthetic gas into a heavy oil tank to form a cut of heavy oil in liquid phase; condensing a first portion of the vapor-phase synthetic gas in a light oil condenser to form a cut of light oil in liquid-phase; combusting a second portion of vapor-phase gas within a combustor; and recycling a third portion pyrolytic synthetic gas into heating elements within the pyrolytic reactor to heat the pyrolytic reactor.

A pyrolysis apparatus for solid hydrocarbon feedstock and a process method thereof are related to a pyrolysis apparatus and a process method thereof. A multi-tubular pyrolysis reactor of the apparatus is composed of one or more tubular pyrolysis reactors that are arranged in a tube-by-tube manner, its heating section being arranged in a heating chamber. A pyrolysis gas obtained from feedstock pyrolysis or an externally supplied fuel gas is combusted in the heating chamber through a regenerative combustion, so as to provide heat for the pyrolytic reaction. A gas collecting internal component is arranged at a center of each tubular pyrolysis reactor, and a pyrolysis gas product is regulated to radially flow across a moving particle bed so as to achieve in-situ filtering dust removal and selective cracking upgrading.
