Abstract

A device for upgrading a solid organic material into a resulting product comprises a reactor with an organic material inlet, and a flue gas inlet adapted to introduce flue gas into the reactor, an input driver adapted to continuously transfer the solid organic material to the organic material inlet, an output driver adapted to continuously transfer the solid organic material out of the reactor, a gas flow element operatively connected to the flue gas inlet permitting flue gas to mix with the solid organic material but restricting flow of the solid organic material away from the flue gas inlet, and a rapid cooling device operatively connected to the output driver and adapted to apply a heat transfer liquid directly onto the solid organic material and thereby form the resulting product.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent application 61 / 705,190, filed on Sep. 25, 2012, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to a device for upgrading of solid organic materials, and more particularly to a device for upgrading of solid organic materials suitable for high volume operations.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Solid organic materials include peat, biomass, garbage, and coal, especially low rank coals. Such solid organic materials have been considered as fuel and a source of energy. However, many of these solid organic materials contain relatively large amounts of water—often on the order of 30-60% by weight or more. Because of this high water content, and related low energy density, such solid organic materials have been commercially unattractive for use in industry, especially when the industry that ne...
