Embodiment Construction

)

[0039]Described herein is a rotary retort system 10 that can be used for the thermal treatment of waste or other material M.

[0040]The material M being processed by the rotary retort system 10 is converted into a desired end product, described herein as a pyrolyzer gas product P-G. The rotary retort system 10 provides an improved and high heat transfer efficiency to the material M such that the pyrolysis process occurring within the system is more rapid than could previously be achieved. The substantially complete and rapid pyrolysis of the material M generally means that there need only be a relatively short residence time of the feedstock material within the rotary retort system 10. As such, in certain embodiments, the rotary retort system 10 can be configured to occupy a small, yet efficient area where a pyrolyzing process is needed.

[0041]Referring first to FIGS. 1-3, the rotary retort system 10 generally includes a pressurized furnace vessel 12 and a rotary retort 14. In the emb...

Abstract

A process for the pyrolysis of at least one material includes: introducing the material into a pressurized rotary retort system, heating the material in the pressurized rotary retort system within a desired temperature range and within a desired pressure range for a desired period of time; and, advancing the heated and pressurized material from a first end to a second end of the pressurized rotary retort by rotating the pressurized retort about its longitudinal axis; where at least a quantity of the material is converted into one or more end products. Also the system generally includes: a pressurized rotary retort system configured for producing at least one gaseous product from pyrolysis of material, and having a pressurized furnace vessel and a retort positioned within the pressurized furnace vessel; and; a solids reactor system operatively connected to the rotary retort for receiving material from the pressurized rotary retort system.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND STATEMENT REGARDING SPONSORED RESEARCH[0001]The present invention claims the benefit of the provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 218,197 filed Jun. 18, 2009. This invention was made with no government support and the government has no rights in this invention.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There is no admission that the background art disclosed in this section legally constitutes prior art.[0003]To ensure a sustainable energy future, businesses are moving away from the current use of fossil fuel energy sources, such as gas, coal and petroleum, as the only sources of energy. Also, global climate change and possible decrease in the availability of fossil fuels are providing challenges to businesses and communities alike.[0004]One solution being investigated is the use of organic materials (often called biomass feedstock) to both sequester carbon and to produce renewable energy. Generally, the biomass feedstock is heated to produce sy...
