Abstract:
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system having a pyrolysis chamber supported in a manner that causes minimal movement or flexing of the chamber as the temperature of the chamber changes. Preferred solutions utilize support structures made from materials having low coefficients of thermal expansion, and structures adapted to allow chambers to expand and contract with temperature changes.

Abstract:
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system comprising a pyrolysis chamber and a movement mechanism adapted to move waste through the pyrolysis chamber at different speeds along the length of the pyrolysis chamber.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for charcoal production and activation, wherein a multipurpose furnace system is utilized to manufacture high grade charcoal from hardwood starting materials, which, in turn, promotes the manufacture of activated charcoal, while providing a viable and significant cost saving alternative to ongoing, intensive worldwide, efforts to increase yield and quality of charcoal product.
Abstract:
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system comprising a pyrolysis chamber having a chamber wall with a hole through which a shaft passes. An insulating mechanism is used at the hole to inhibit heat from escaping through the opening in the chamber wall.
Abstract:
The ash content of raw coals, lignite, and other carbonaceous materials is reduced by leaching the highash material with an aqueous acidic waste product produced by a Fischer-Tropsch reaction. The acidic aqueous waste is mixed with coal and process conditions are described. The claim takes advantage of using otherwise uneconomic coal, lignite or other carbonaceous material by upgrading the material to a suitable feedstock for combustion in a power plant or gasifier.
Abstract:
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system comprising an outlet adapted to channel a composition out of a pyrolysis chamber. A mechanism is used for cleaning the outlet during operation of the pyrolytic system.

Abstract:
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system having multiple pyrolysis chambers. It is contemplated that the system is adapted to heat at least one pyrolysis chamber independently of at least one other pyrolysis chamber.
Abstract:
This invention presents a sulphurous acid generator which employs a combination of novel mechanisms which maximize the efficiency and duration of contact between sulphur dioxide gas and water to form sulphurous acid in an open nonpressurized system. The present invention also incorporates a novel high temperature concrete for use in constructing portions of the present invention. The present invention also employs for substantially eliminating any discharge plume.
