Abstract

It is proposed the method of utilizing organic waste continuously fed to a closed-type reactor, wherein said waste are subjected to pyrolysis resulting in the formation of a steam-and-gas mix and a solid residue, said residue being distributed along the reactor length and withdrawn at the outlet thereof in which due to the possibility of repeated recirculation of heavy liquid fractions interacting with a solid residue in the reactor, it would be possible to achieve a required extent of thermal decomposition of products inside the reactor, and to produce a final product having a preset mass at the reactor outlet. One of the aspect of this invention is provided a method of utilizing organic waste, which would ensure the possibility of utilizing waste having a wide range of initial molecular masses, and to produce from such waste a final liquid product having a preset molecular mass through the automatic control of temperatures in first coolers from generated control signals proportional to deviations of measured molecular masses from the preset value.

Dependent claims

A method of utilizing organic waste continuously fed to a closed-type reactor, wherein said waste are subjected to pyrolysis resulting in the formation of a steam-and-gas mix and a solid residue, said residue being distributed along the reactor length and withdrawn at the outlet thereof, comprising the following stages:

a) supplying the steam-and-gas mix produced at reactor outlet to at least two coolers connected in series and disposed in the order of temperature decrease, first of said coolers serving for selective withdrawal of a liquid fraction having a molecular mass above the preset value, and second of said coolers serving for production of a final liquid product, the temperature in each first cooler being preset at the beginning of the process, proceeding from the initial value of molecular mass of the waste to be utilized;
b) returning the withdrawn liquid fraction having a molecular mass above the preset value back into said reactor from each first cooler, ensuring the interaction between heavy fractions and said solid residue in the process of repeated pyrolysis, and producing, at the reactor outlet, a steam-and-gas mix with lighter constituents;
c) repeating stages (a) and (b) till attainment of the required degree of thermal decomposition of products inside the reactor, and thereby producing a final liquid product having the preset molecular mass.

A method of utilizing organic waste continuously fed into a closed-type reactor, in which said waste having a wide range of molecular masses are subjected to pyrolysis resulting in the formation of a steam-and-gas mix and a solid residue, said residue being distributed along the reactor length and withdrawn at the outlet thereof, comprising the following stages:

a) supplying the steam-and-gas mix produced at the reactor outlet to at least two coolers connected in series and disposed in the order of temperature decrease, each first of said coolers serving for selective withdrawal of a liquid fraction having a molecular mass above the preset value, and being provided with a control input intended for temperature control, and second of said coolers serving for production of a final liquid product and for shaping a signal that carries the information on the current value of molecular mass of the outgoing product, the control signal supplied to the control input of each first cooler being shaped proportional to the magnitude of deviation of molecular mass of the outgoing liquid product from the preset value of molecular mass of the final product;
b) returning the withdrawn liquid fraction having a molecular mass above the preset value back into said reactor from each first cooler, ensuring the interaction between said fraction and said solid residue in the process of repeated pyrolysis, and producing a steam-and-gas mix with lighter constituents;
c) repeating stages (a) and (b) till attainment of the required degree of thermal decomposition of products inside the reactor, and thereby producing a final liquid product having the preset molecular mass.
