Apparatus for processing heat-decomposable non-gaseous materials
Abstract
Abstract METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING HEAT DECOMPOSABLE LIQUIDS OR SOLID MATERIALS, SUCH AS INDUSTRIAL AND MUNCIPAL WASTES, WHEREIN THE MATERIALS ARE HEATED DIRECTLY BY CONVECTION AND PREFERABLY ALSO BY RADIATION FROM AN OPEN FLAME TO EFFECT PYROLYSIS. MEANS ARE DISCLOSED FOR ASSISTING IN THE TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION OF ADDITIONAL HEAT ENERGY TO THE MATERIALS BEING PROCESSED, AND TO EFFECT COMBUSTION OF A PORTION OF THE DECOMPOSITION GASES PRODUCED BY PYROLYSIS AS THE DECOMPOSTION GASES ARE FORMED. A SEPARATE CHAMBER IS PROVIDED FOR COMPLETE OXIDATION OF DECOMPOSITION GASES WHICH ARE NOT OXIDIZED AS FORMED. ALSO DISCLOSED IS A SYSTEM FOR HANDLING QUENCH, WASHER, AND SPRAY TOWER LIQUID TO AVOID ANY LIQUID WASTE BEING DISCHARGED TO THE SEWER AND TO AVOID THE FORMATION OF A STEAM PLUME FROM THE APPARATUS.
