Abstract
An organic carbonisation system (OCS) and method therefor that includes a reactor vessel, a circulation fan, a separator, and a gas heating system arranged in a pressurised heating circuit filled with heating gas. The heating gas heats a feed of waste organic matter in a pressurised oxygen deficient environment in the reactor vessel under conditions for its carbonisation. The OCs further includes a separator and a cooling system for cooling carbonised organic waste from the reactor vessel.
Claims25
An organic carbonisation system (OCS) for carbonizing of organic matter, the organic carbonisation system comprising:
- a) a reactor vessel, a circulation fan and a gas heating system adapted for heating pressurised heating gas;
- b) a pressurised heating circuit adapted for guiding pressurised heating gas at a pressure of between 300 kPa and 1200 kPa between the reactor vessel, the circulation fan, and the gas heating system;
- c) wherein the reactor vessel is adapted for receiving organic waste and is configured for heating received organic waste by heat transfer from heated working gas in one or more selected from a packed bed and a fluidised bed;
- d) wherein the reactor vessel includes an inlet for receiving a heated gas from the gas heating system, and wherein the inlet is configured to pass heated gas to an underside of the one or more selected from a packed bed and a fluidised bed.

A method of carbonising organic matter, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving organic waste into a reactor vessel in one or more selected from a packed bed and fluidised bed;
- b) pessurising organic waste to a pressure of between 300 kPa and 1200 kPa in a carbonisation reactor vessel in an oxygen reduced environment;
- c) heating the organic waste using a heating gas by feeding the heating gas to an underside of the one or more selected from a packed bed and fluidised bed;
- and
- d) cycling the heating gas through a pressurised heating circuit at a pressure of between 300 kPa and 1200 kPa via a circulation pump and a heat exchanger to reheat the heating gas.
