Abstract:
A Carbon Conversion System having four functional units, each unit comprising one or more zones, wherein the units are integrated to optimize the overall conversion of carbonaceous feedstock into syngas and slag. The processes that occur within each zone of the system can be optimized, for example, by the configuration of each of the units and by managing the conditions that occur within each zone using an integrated control system.
Abstract:
Proposed is a pyrolysis reactor for processing solid municipal and domestic wastes by means of a pyrolytic reaction in the pyrolysis chamber without access of oxygen to the reaction system. The reactor is characterized by containing two waste-feeding screws which have tapered shapes, a gap between the outer surfaces of the threads, are inclined in the vertical plane and converge towards each other in a horizontal plane in the direction from the inlet to the outlet end. The gap is adjustable with diminishing toward the outlet end.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fuel gasification furnace including a gasification chamber (1) for fluidizing a high-temperature fluidizing medium therein to form a gasification chamber fluidized bed having an interface, and for gasifying a fuel in the gasification chamber fluidized bed, a char combustion chamber (2) for fluidizing a high-temperature fluidizing medium therein to form a char combustion chamber fluidized bed having an interface, and for combusting char generated by gasification in the gasification chamber (1) in the char combustion chamber fluidized bed to heat the fluidizing medium, and a first energy recovery device (109) for using gases generated by the gasification chamber (1) as a fuel. The gasification chamber (1) and the char combustion chamber (2) are integrated with each other. The gasification chamber (1) and the char combustion chamber (2) are divided from each other by a first partition wall (15) for preventing gases from flowing therebetween, and which extends vertically upward from the interfaces of the respective fluidized beds. The first partition wall (15) has a first opening (25) provided in a lower portion thereof, and the first opening (25) serves as a communication between the gasification chamber (1) and the char combustion chamber (2), for allowing the fluidizing medium heated in the char combustion chamber (2) to move from the char combustion chamber (2) via the first opening (25) into the gasification chamber (1).

Abstract:
A method of processing liquid organic waste, whereas sludge liquid is separated from sludge solid. The sludge solid is pasteurized and pumped into the formation unit. The heat gases (heart, emission, air pressure, ash, dust, and etcetera) force sludge solid to move more than one direction creating ocean waves look alike and the liquid substance in sludge solid is steamed out of the unit to designate location and the dried substance becomes an energy fuel product equivalent to coal.

Abstract:
A process for treating a waste or treatable material containing noxious component(s), comprising the following steps: (1) carrying out a first step for the treatable material, the first step including (a) mixing a treatment agent with the treatable material to form a mixture, the treatment agent containing alkali metal compound, and (b) heating the mixture in a first furnace at a first temperature in a low oxygen atmosphere to thermally decompose the treatable material to generate a substance containing the noxious component, the substance contacting and reacting with the treatment agent to form a harmless salt; and (2) carrying out a second step for the treatable material, the second step including heating the treatable material in a second furnace separate from the first furnace, at a second temperature higher than the first temperature so as to reduce volume of the treatable material.
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 450-650null C. at a filtration velocity of 1-5 cm/sec under a pressure of from null5 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.
