    Abstract: A municipal or like refuse, from which large articles of metals have been removed, is mixed with an alkaline substance like limestone preferably in a triple screw mixer, and then advanced along the pyrolysis path in which the refuse mixture is subjected to heat from combustion gases from an incineration chamber therebelow. A portion of the pyrolyzed product is recycled to the upstream side of that path and the remainder of the pyrolyzed product is scrubbed with an aqueous medium, e.g. water and/or aqueous acetic acid and the washed pyrolyzed product is then incinerated to produce the combustion gas.

    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling the hydrocarbon release rate during thermal processing of materials having a variable caloric content. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a first chamber for receiving successive batches of feed materials for thermal processing; (b) producing heat in the first chamber to pyrolyze the feed materials into fluid materials; (c) providing a second chamber, communicating with the first chamber, for receiving the fluid materials from the first chamber and for communicating the fluid materials to a discharge location; (d) producing heat in the second chamber to oxidize the fluid materials into discharge gases reaching the discharge location; (e) providing a jacketed vessel defining a coolant-fluid-containing channel surrounding the first and second chambers; (f) producing separate variable flows of primary and secondary air respectively into and through the first and second chambers; (g) sensing the temperatures in the first and second chambers; (h) sensing the temperature of the coolant in the jacketed vessel; (i) sensing the concentration of a preselected gas in the discharge gases. In response to the foregoing sensed parameters, controlling the primary and secondary flows of air into the first and second chambers so as to maintain the concentration of the preselected gas in the discharge gases at a preset target level, thereby generating substantially harmless discharge gases and producing substantially carbon-free residue ash. Also, in response to the sensed temperatures sensed and to the sensed concentration of the preselected gas, selectively stirring ash residue collected within the first chamber according to a predetermined pattern so as to maintain the concentration of the preselected gas in the discharge gases at a preset target level corresponding with the generation of substantially harmless discharge gases and production of substantially carbon-free residue ash.

    Abstract: In an improved system for recovering heat from a combustion gas produced by burning wastes, the combustion gas or combustible gas produced by partial burning of the wastes subjected to dust filtration in a temperature range of 450-650.degree. C. at a filtration velocity of 1-5 cm/sec under a pressure of from -5 kPa (gage) to 5 MPa before heat recovery is effected. The dust filtration is preferably performed using a filter medium which may or may not support a denitration catalyst. Heat recovery is preferably effected using a steam superheater. The dust-free gas may partly or wholly be reburnt with or without an auxiliary fuel to a sufficiently high temperature to permit heat recovery. The combustion furnace may be a gasifying furnace which, in turn, may be combined with a melting furnace. If desired, the reburning to a higher temperature may be performed under pressure and the obtained hot combustion gas is supplied to a gas turbine to generate electricity, followed by introduction of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine into a steam superheater for further heat recovery. The system can raise the temperature of superheated steam to a sufficient level to enhance the efficiency of power generation without possibility of corrosion of heat transfer pipes by the combustion gas or combustible gas.

    Abstract: A refuse recycling system which recycles municipal waste as energy, includes a shredder for shredding the waste and removing rejects via a feed pipe to a circulating fluidized bed reactor, the reactor producing flue gases. The reactor includes a side dense fluidized bed situated on the wall of the reactor which is provided with the feed pipe, the side dense fluidized bed extracting non-fluidizable heavy elements and transporting them to a coarse-particle sorter apparatus via an extraction duct disposed at a base of the side dense fluidized bed. At least a portion of the rejects from the shredder is fed into the coarse-particle sorter apparatus. The coarse-particle sorter apparatus cools the elements and extracts non-fluidizable inert matter from the elements, the remaining matter being fed back into the reactor. A module for recovering energy and for treating the flue gases output by said reactor is connected downstream from the reactor.

    Abstract: A process for the production of heat energy from solid carbonaceous fuels is disclosed which comprises subjecting the carbonaceous fuel to substantially anaerobic pyrolysis in at least one first zone and thereafter transferring the char resulting from the pyrolysis to a second zone which is segregated from the first zone or zones. The char is subjected to gasification in the second zone by introduction of primary combustion air, optionally with steam and/or recycled exhaust gas. The off gases from the second zone and the pyrolysis gases from the first zone or zones are thereafter subjected to secondary combustion and the first zone or zones is heated by heat derived from the secondary combustion. Ash is removed from the bottom of the second zone.

    Abstract: A process of gasifying waste containing organic substances which may be combusted or gasified by means of partial oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen and steam. The gasification process includes the step of adjusting the molar ratio of steam/carbon (H.sub.2 O/C) for supplied steam and the organic substances containing carbon to a desired ratio. The process continues with partial oxidation at about 700.degree. C. to about 900.degree. C. and discontinuing the steam supply while continuing only air or oxygen supply to combust the remaining combustibles having carbon as their major component.

The upper inner walls define an upper airtight vessel, while the lower inner wall defines a lower airtight vessel containing a material processing chamber. The outer wall and upper and lower inner walls also define a channel therebetween surrounding the upper and lower vessels for containing a flow of coolant fluid. Also, a heat exchanger is defined by the upper airtight vessel and the portion of the channel defined by the outer wall and upper inner concentrical walls. The heat exchanger is disposed above and connected in flow communication with the material processing chamber in the lower vessel. The apparatus also includes a heater unit for heating a material in the material processing chamber. The heater unit includes a plurality of elongated electric heating elements extending in generally parallel relation to one another and being operable for emitting heat radiation and a mounting structure which mounts the electric heating elements through spaced side portions of the outer wall and lower inner wall of the casing so as to extend across the material processing chamber in an orientation positioned intermediately between vertical and horizontal orientations.
