Abstract
Described herein is an apparatus (10), system (300) and method for pyrolysing and combusting a material. One described embodiment provides an apparatus (10) comprising one or more crucibles (50, 51) for receiving a material to be pyrolysed and combusted therein and one or more heating tubes (100-210) disposed in proximity to the crucible(s) (50, 51). The or each heating tube (100-210) is configured for receiving byproduct(s) produced during pyrolysis and combustion of the material within the crucible(s) (50, 51) and pyrolising and combusting the byproduct(s) to produce flue gas from the byproduct(s). The flue gas produced within the heating tube(s) (100-210) are mixed with a hydroxy gas.
Claims19
An apparatus for pyrolysing and combusting a material, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more crucibles for receiving a material to be pyrolysed and combusted therein;
- and
- one or more heating tubes disposed around the crucible(s), wherein the or each heating tube is configured for:
- receiving byproduct(s) produced during pyrolysis and combustion of the material within the crucible(s);
- receiving an electrolysis gas comprising a mix of hydrogen and oxygen and mixing the electrolysis gas with the byproduct(s);
- and
- pyrolising and combusting the mixture of the byproduct(s) and the electrolysis gas to produce processed gas from the byproduct(s).
A method of pyrolysing and combusting a material, comprising:
- pyrolysing and combusting material received within one or more crucibles using heat generated within one or more heating tubes located around a chamber which contains the crucible(s);
- receiving byproduct(s) produced during the combustion and pyrolysis of the material within the or each heating tube;
- receiving an electrolysis gas comprising a mix of hydrogen and oxygen within the or each heating tube;
- and
- pyrolysing and combusting the mixture of the byproduct(s) and electrolysis gas within the or each heating tube to produce a processed gas.
