Abstract
A material transfer system for transferring material into or out of a pyrolysis system is described. The system includes a first conduit comprising a first inlet and a first outlet. a store, and a second conduit comprising a second inlet and a second outlet. The first conduit is configured to receive, at the first inlet, the material and transfer the material, through the first outlet, to the store. The store is configured to store the material. The second conduit is configured to: receive, at the second inlet, the material, transfer the material, and output the material through the second outlet.
Claims27
A material transfer system for transferring material into or out of a pyrolysis system, the material transfer system comprising:
- a first conduit comprising a first inlet and a first outlet;
- a store;
- one or more level sensors;
- and
- a second conduit comprising a second inlet and a second outlet;
- wherein
- the first conduit is configured to:
- receive, at the first inlet, the material;
- transfer the received material from the first inlet to the first outlet;
- and
- provide, through the first outlet, the material to the store;
- the store is configured to store the material received from the first conduit;
- the one or more level sensors are configured to measure a level of material within the store;
- the second conduit is configured to:
- receive, at the second inlet, the material from the store;
- transfer the received material from the second inlet to the second outlet;
- and
- output, through the second outlet, the material;
- and
- transfer of material along one or both of the first conduit and the second conduit is controlled dependent on a level measurement by the one or more level sensors.

A material transfer method for transferring material into or out of a pyrolysis system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first inlet of a first conduit, the material;
- transferring the material along the first conduit from the first inlet to a first outlet of the first conduit;
- transferring the material from the first conduit to a storage tank through the first outlet;
- measuring, by one or more level sensors, a level of material within the store;
- receiving, at a second inlet of a second conduit, from the storage tank, the material;
- transferring the material along the second conduit from the second inlet to a second outlet of the second conduit;
- and
- outputting, through the second outlet, the material;
- wherein.
- the transferring of material along one or both of the first conduit and the second conduit is controlled dependent on the measurement level of material within the store.
