## Abstract

A process for the pyrolysis of waste material and/or organic material in a pyrolysis reactor is provided. According to the process, the material is placed in the reactor and heated with an induction heater, optionally in the presence of one or more soft magnets. The products of the pyrolysis reaction, such as gases and liquids may be collected in a storage vessel attached to the reactor. A pyrolysis reactor for the pyrolysis of waste and/or organic material is also provided.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-18. (canceled)

### Claim 19

A pyrolysis apparatus for the processing of organic or waste material to produce one or more pyrolysis products including lower order carbon containing products, the apparatus comprising:
a pyrolysis chamber having an induction coil and a pyrolysis container which is positioned within the induction coil;
a generator electrically connected to the pyrolysis chamber modulated for supplying current to the induction coil at a power level for producing pyrolysis products comprising gas, liquid, or both liquid and gas, including lower order carbon containing products;
a vacuum system connected to the pyrolysis chamber for evacuating the pyrolysis chamber to create a vacuum with the process chamber; and one or more storage vessels, connected exterior to the pyrolysis chamber, for the storage of pyrolysis products.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 19 further comprising a cooler for delivering a coolant to the coil.

### Claim 21 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 19 further comprising an insulating material for insulating the coil.

### Claim 22 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 19 wherein at least one of the one or more storage vessels is a detachable gas storage vessel.

### Claim 23 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 19 wherein the induction coil is positioned vertically within the pyrolysis chamber.

### Claim 24 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus according to claim 19 wherein the pyrolysis chamber and generator are positioned such that they are stacked vertically with respect to each other.

### Claim 25 (depends on 19)

The pyrolysis apparatus of claim 19 wherein the pyrolysis container comprises a conducting body and a vented portion.

### Claim 26 (depends on 19)

The apparatus of claim 19 wherein the pyrolysis chamber contain a soft magnet.

### Claim 27 (depends on 19)

The apparatus of claim 19 wherein the pyrolysis container comprises a filter to trap process material from escaping into the vacuum system from the pyrolysis container.
