Abstract
Applying heat from a heat source to a first region to cause a first pyrolysis process, the first pyrolysis process resulting in a gaseous mixture, and applying heat from the heat source to a second region to cause a second pyrolysis process, the second pyrolysis process being applied to the gaseous mixture, wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region. Pyrolysis is used to destroy oils, tars and/or PAHs in carbonaceous material.
Claims20
An advanced thermal treatment (ATT) method comprising:
- applying heat from a heat source to a first region to cause a first advanced thermal treatment (ATT) process, the first ATT process resulting in a gaseous mixture;
- applying heat from the heat source to a second region to cause a second ATT process, the second ATT process being applied to the gaseous mixture;
- wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region.

An advanced thermal treatment (ATT) apparatus comprising:
- a first region;
- a second advanced thermal treatment (ATT) region;
- and
- a heat source being positioned such that, when operated
- the heat source heats the first region to cause a first ATT process, the first ATT process resulting in a gaseous mixture, and
- the heat source heats the second region to cause a second ATT process, the second ATT process being applied to the gaseous mixture;
- wherein the second region is located closer to the heat source than the first region.
