Process for and processor of natural gas and activated carbon together with blower

A method of processing carbon-based feedstock into natural gas, the method comprising:

• introducing the carbon-based feedstock to a fluidized bed;
• flowing superheated non-oxygenated gas through the fluidized bed to the carbon-based feedstock at a velocity sufficient to separate natural gas and activated carbon from the feedstock;
• converting the carbon-based feedstock into natural gas and activated carbon;
• separating the natural gas from the activated carbon;
• and
• recycling a portion of the separated natural gas into the flow of superheated non-oxygenated gas, the recycled portion at least partially converting the carbon-based feedstock into the natural gas and the activated carbon.
