The present invention concerns an arrangement for the recycling of carbon and hydrocarbon compounds from organic input material through pyrolysis treatment, comprising: a reactor (1) comprising a chamber (110) that is limited by a jacket (111) and upper and lower end-wall sections (112, 113), in which chamber input material (M) in fragmented form is intended to be introduced, gas inlet means (120) for the supply of heated inert gas (101) to the input material, whereby the gas inlet means (120) is connected in a manner that transfers gas to a gas emission source (102) through inlet pipes (104, 129, 187.1, 187.2) that are associated with inlet pipes, and gas outlets (160) for leading the gas out of the chamber, where the gas outlet means (120) comprises openings (125, 146, 155, 185) through which gas flows intended to supply the gas (101) into the chamber (110), whereby the openings (125, 146, 155, 185) through which gas flows are arranged such that a fall in pressure dP is generated during the supply of gas that exceeds the fall in pressure dM of the gas during passage through the input material M that has been introduced into the chamber. The invention concerns also a method for the recycling of carbon and hydrocarbon compounds from organic input material through pyrolysis.

Systems and apparatuses for controlling oven draft within a coke oven. A representative system includes an uptake damper coupled to an uptake duct that receives exhaust gases from the coke oven and provides the exhaust gases to a common tunnel for further processing. The uptake damper includes a damper plate pivotably coupled to a refractory surface of the uptake duct and an actuator assembly coupled to the damper plate. The damper plate is positioned completely within the uptake duct and the actuator assembly moves the damper plate between a plurality of different configurations by causing the damper plate to rotate relative to the uptake duct. Moving the uptake damper between the different configurations changes the flow rate and pressure of the exhaust gases through the uptake duct, which affects an oven draft within the coke oven.

The invention relates to a plant complex for steel production comprising a blast furnace for producing pig iron, a converter steel mill for producing crude steel, a gas-conducting system for gases that occur when producing the pig iron and/or the crude steel, and a power-generating plant for electricity generation. The power-generating plant is designed as a gas-turbine power-generating plant or gas-turbine and steam-turbine power-generating plant and is operated with a gas that comprises at least a partial amount of the blast-furnace top gas that occurs in the blast furnace and/or a partial amount of the converter gas. The plant complex additionally comprises a chemical plant and a biotechnological plant, the power-generating plant, the chemical plant and the biotechnological plant being arranged in a parallel setup with regard to the gas supply. The gas-conducting system comprises an operationally controllable gas-distributing device for dividing the streams of gas.
