Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method for processing hydrocarbon-containing wastes are described. The system and method include the use of a gasification apparatus comprising a rotary kiln reactor and a gas distributor. The rotary kiln reactor and gas distributor are configured to generate multiple reaction environments within the gasification apparatus. Each of the reaction environments has unique temperature reaction conditions to suit various physical and chemical properties associated with processing of the varied-source hydrocarbon-containing wastes.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a common purpose apparatus for carrying out physical and chemical reactions of carbonaceous materials with oxygen bearing gases and preheated gases that is used for carrying out thermo chemical transformation of carbonaceous materials into gaseous and liquid fuels, and for combusting carbonaceous fuels and to recover energy there from, and for remediating hydrocarbon-contaminated materials, and further for producing bio-chars from biomass.
