Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, a catalyst tower is provided, which comprises a gas inlet and a catalyst holding plate set therein. The gas inlet is the opening where the catalyst tower and the upstream piping connects with one another. The distance between the gas inlet and the catalyst holding plate is directly proportional to the difference in diameter between the catalyst tower and the upstream piping.
Claims16
An apparatus, comprising:
- a tower with an opening, wherein said tower receives a gas stream via said opening;
- a plate for holding a bed of chemicals, wherein said plate is set in said tower, and said bed of chemicals is used for treating said gas stream;
- and
- a reactor for generating said gas stream from a reactant selected from a group consisting of the following, or combinations thereof:
- waste plastic, waste tire, and waste oil;
- wherein said tower has a first diameter, said opening has a second diameter, and said first diameter is equal to or greater than 4.5 times of said second diameter.

A method for thermal cracking a feed material selected from a group consisting of the following or combinations thereof:
- waste plastic, waste tire, and waste oil, comprising:
- subjecting said feed material to a thermal cracking reaction thereby generating a gas stream;
- and
- sending said gas stream to a first tower, wherein said first tower includes an opening for receiving said gas stream and a bed of chemicals therein for treating said gas stream, said first tower has a first diameter, said opening has a second diameter, and said first diameter is equal to or greater than 4.5 times of said second diameter.
