Abstract:
The invention discloses a coal decomposition method and equipment in cycle heating gas style. The coal decomposition equipment can avoid introducing impurity, ensure a pure decomposed gas and keep continuous heating without extrinsic heat source, which includes an airtight kiln body with coal inlet and coal outlet; a facility for impelling and decomposing coal set in the kiln body; a coal decomposed gas collecting pipe set in one end of the airtight kiln body, and a high temperature gas input pipe set in the other end of the airtight kiln body; wherein the coal decomposed gas collecting pipe is connected with a post-processing facility and communicates with the high temperature gas input pipe through a circle pipe, and the circle pipe and/or the high temperature gas input pipe comprises a heating device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for an apparatus for converting an organic liquor into a mixture of hydrocarbons and carbon solids, comprising: a heater for heating the organic liquor, thereby producing a mixture of liquid and vaporized oil; a reactor for converting the mixture of liquid and vaporized oil into carbon solids, and a mixture of hydrocarbons and gases; a first cooler for accepting the carbon solids; and a second cooler for accepting the mixture of hydrocarbons and gases. The apparatus of the present invention finds application in the processing of waste and low-value products to produce useful materials in reliable purities and compositions, at acceptable cost, without producing malodorous emissions, and with high energy efficiency. In particular, the organic liquor derives from feedstocks such as offal, animal manures, municipal sewage sludge, tires, and plastics, that otherwise have little commercial value, and are thereby converted into useful materials including gas, oil, specialty chemicals, and carbon solids.

Abstract:
A method for operating a battery of coke ovens capable of accomplishing an increase in production and a decrease in the quantity of heat required for carbonization. The battery of cove ovens include a plurality of carbonization chambers to which a series of working numbers indicating the order of unit oven workings are assigned. An operation step is repeatedly practiced which includes a working step of carrying out the unit oven workings in the order of working numbers with respect to the carbonization chambers without providing a working interrupting time between the unit oven workings and an interruption step of interrupting the unit oven working until the the carbonization chamber of the coke oven which has been first subject to the unit oven working reaches a time at which discharge from the carbonization chamber is made possible.
Abstract:
Method of controlling heat input into a coke oven to obtain a desired temperature of the coke mass of the oven at the time of pushing comprising (1) determine the moisture content and heat of carbonization of a sample of coal scheduled for transfer into the oven; (2) determine a coal mass, a target coking time, and an efficiency for said oven; (3) calculate the heat requirement and temperature of the coke mass during the coking operation of the coke oven based upon the coal moisture, the heat of carbonization, the coal mass, the target coking time, and the efficiency; (4) determine the temperature of the coke mass during the coking operation; (5) compare the temperature determined from step (4) with the calculated temperature based upon the calculation of step (3); (6) analyze any deviations noted in step (5) to obtain a more accurate heat requirement for said oven, and (7) vary the heat input into said oven in accordance with the more accurate heat requirement.This method preferably also includes the following additional steps: (1) compare a target temperature of the coke mass with the calculated temperature; (2) analyze the deviations of the target temperature from the calculated temperature, and (3) vary the heat input in response to the deviations.

Abstract:
Clean, safe and efficient methods, systems, and processes for utilizing thermolysis methods to processes to convert various carpet, rug, polymeric materials and other waste sources, such as solid waste, tires, manure, auto shredder residue, glass and carbon fiber composite materials, municipal solid wastes, medical wastes, waste wood and the like into a Clean Fuel Gas and Char source are disclosed. The invention processes the carpet, rug, polymeric material to effectively shred and/or grind the waste source, such as post-consumer carpet remnants and waste, and then process using thermolysis methods to destroy and/or separate halogen and other dangerous components to provide a Clean Fuel Gas and Char source. Additional waste sources, such as solid waste, tires, manure, auto shredder residue, glass and carbon fiber composite materials, municipal solid wastes, medical wastes, waste wood and the like, are suitable for the processing of the invention disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for heating a biomass moving along an industrial treatment line including an inlet (1) for the incoming biomass, a heating unit (4), and a treatment station (5). A fraction of the biomass heated by the heating unit (4) is returned along a return branch (R) to a mixing station (2) upstream of the heating unit (4) so as to form, together with the incoming biomass, a mixture having a temperature above the temperature of the incoming biomass, the heated biomass fraction being removed at an outlet (51) of the treatment station (5).
Abstract:
A process for converting biomass to products is described. Biomasss is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a fluidized bed of hydropyrolysis catalyst in a reactor vessel under hydropyrolysis conditions; and products and char are removed from the reactor vessel. The products leave the fluidized bed at an exit bed velocity, the char has a settling velocity that is less than the exit bed velocity and hydropyrolysis catalyst has a settling velocity that is greater than the exit bed velocity.
