The invention provides a system for pyrolysis, comprising: (i) a gas producer comprising a gasification zone and a producer gas outlet, wherein the gas producer is configured to: oxidise at least one carbon-containing feed in the presence of an oxidising gas in the gasification zone to form a producer gas; and discharge the producer gas from the gasification zone via the producer gas outlet, wherein a residual oxygen content of the producer gas is substantially depleted or maintained below a maximum predetermined amount by controlling a ratio of oxygen fed to the gasification zone to the carbon-containing feed, (ii) a pyrolyzer comprising a pyrolysis zone and one or more pyrolyzer gas outlets, wherein the pyrolyzer is configured to: feed the producer gas discharged from the gasification zone to the pyrolysis zone; pyrolyze a pyrolyzable organic feed in the pyrolysis zone in the presence of the producer gas to produce a carbonaceous pyrolysis product and a gas mixture comprising combustible components comprising pyrolysis gas; and discharge the gas mixture from the pyrolysis zone via the one or more pyrolyzer gas outlets, and (iii) a first combustor comprising a combustion zone, wherein the first combustor is configured to: receive the gas mixture discharged from the pyrolysis zone in the combustion zone; feed an oxygen-containing gas to the combustion zone; and combust at least a portion of the combustible components present in the gas mixture in the combustion zone to produce a combustion product gas.

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 are disclosed. 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.

A feed system for a reactor, a reactor assembly comprising such a feed system, and a method of supplying a feed material to a reactor with a feed system are provided. The reactor may be a pyrolysis reactor, such as a fluidised bed pyrolysis reactor. A method of pyrolysing a feed material is also provided. The feed system may comprise a feed conduit extending from an inlet to an outlet, and may have a first section including the inlet and a second section including the outlet. The first section may accommodate an auger. The second section may comprise at least one plug forming zone in which feed material is compressed into a substantially gas-tight plug during operation. There may be a temperature regulator for controlling the temperature in the second section. The temperature regulator may comprise a cooling jacket.

A pyrolysis waste-to-energy conversion system has a muffle furnace housing a rotating retort drum within the furnace and having an inlet sleeve and an outlet sleeve extending through inlet and outlet ends of the muffle furnace. A rotating retort drum drive applies rotary drive to the inlet rotating retort drum sleeves and an in-feed auger is within a tube within the inlet sleeve. An out-feed auger is within a tube within the outlet sleeve and arranged to deliver char and pyrolysis syngas to a char processing system and a syngas processing system. The inlet sleeve and said outlet sleeve are arranged to provide a gas seal to prevent air ingress or syngas egress to and from the rotating retort drum. A gas cleaning system has a cracking tower arranged to retain inlet gas at an elevated temperature for a residence time, and a gas quench and scrubber system.

A method and apparatus for removing pollutants from organic solid waste by pyrolysis coupled with chemical looping combustion are provided. The apparatus includes: an air reactor, a fuel reactor, and a pyrolysis gasifier. The pyrolysis gasifier is sleeved outside the fuel reactor, and the air reactor is connected with the fuel reactor. A top end of the air reactor is connected with a top delivery pipe; the top delivery pipe is connected with a first cyclone separator; and the first cyclone separator is connected with an oxygen carrier refeeder provided at a top end of the fuel reactor. The apparatus forms a two-stage reaction unit of pyrolysis and chemical looping combustion by decoupling the pyrolysis process from the chemical looping combustion, which avoids the contact between the complex ash of organic solid waste and the oxygen carrier, thereby improving the service life of the oxygen carrier.

A waste processing system includes a pyrolysis apparatus that pyrolyzes a combustible waste, a melt-and-mold apparatus that generates an ingot of resin and combustible gas from a synthetic-resin waste, and an oil extraction apparatus that generates combustible oil and combustible gas from the ingot of resin. The melt-and-mold apparatus has a melter that melts the synthetic-resin waste using heat produced by the pyrolysis apparatus, the oil extraction apparatus has a pyrolyzer that pyrolyzes the ingot of resin using the heat produced by the pyrolysis apparatus, and at least one of the combustible gas generated at the melt-and-mold apparatus and the combustible gas generated at the oil extraction apparatus is supplied to the pyrolysis apparatus.

A disposal system for the processing of solid waste devices to recycle materials located within the devices and recover, reuse and recycle such materials. Such system may include a primary chamber and secondary chamber, attached preferably by use of one or more exhaust ducts, and a secondary chamber exhaust duct. The solid waste devices may include any type of waste, such as electronics waste, medical device waste, and the like.

A pyrolysis system and method of use is capable of continuously processing feedstock. The pyrolysis system has enclosed pyrolysis tubes heated by a heating means to pyrolyze feedstock. Conveying mechanisms such as augers transport the feedstock into and through the pyrolysis tubes. The pyrolysis tubes can be heated to a desired temperature range using a heat exchanger, such as a molten metal bath, or inductively heated using induction coils wrapped around the pyrolysis tubes. The feedstock is physically separated from the outside environment by the enclosed pyrolysis tubes. A dynamic feedstock plug is formed upstream of the pyrolysis tubes to prevent air and moisture from entering via the inlet of the pyrolysis tubes. An outlet section connected to the outlets of the pyrolysis tubes separates the gaseous and solid products of pyrolysis and permits removal of the products while preventing air and moisture from entering into the system.

A solid-fuel burning and drying unit capable of carbonized drying and burning of toxic gases, having a main body with a fuel cell configured in the main body, a barrier surface which closes the fuel cell from the upper region and enables combustion of toxic and volatile gases in the combustion zone without mixing with the atmosphere, fuel supply elements and fuel discharge elements that deliver fuels to be burned into the fuel cell, wherein the said main body contains a drying unit in which the damp fuel is dried by heat from the combustion zone by generating frictional energy by rotating through the configured drive element and coils on the axis of rotation (z).
