Carbonization and pyrolyzation method and system

A method for the carbonization and/or pyrolyzation of a hydrocarbon comprising material, comprising:

• a first feeding step of continuously or intermittently feeding a feedstock of the hydrocarbon comprising material to a reaction zone defined by heat conducting walls, at a supply position upstream of the reaction zone;
• a heating step of indirect anoxic heating of the feedstock through the heat conducting walls, while displacing the feedstock downstream through the reaction zone, thereby carbonizing and/or pyrolyzing the feedstock to obtain a pyrolyze gas and a residue;
• a first discharging step of discharging the obtained gas from the reaction zone at a gas discharge position downstream of the reaction zone;
• a second feeding step of feeding an oxygen comprising gas to the discharged gas;
• a combustion step of at least partially combusting the discharged gas with the oxygen comprising gas, thereby indirectly heating the feedstock through the heat conducting walls;
• and
• a second discharging step of discharging the residue from the reaction zone at a solid discharge position downstream of the gas discharge position.

A reactor system for the carbonization and/or pyrolyzation of a hydrocarbon comprising material, comprising:

• a housing comprising:
• heat conducting walls delimiting a reaction zone, wherein the reaction zone is configured to allow displacement of feedstock, and wherein the reaction zone is configured to allow carbonization and/or pyrolyzation of the feedstock to obtain a gas and a residue;
• an inlet for supplying the feedstock to the reaction zone at an upstream supply position;
• a gas outlet for discharging the obtained gas from the reaction zone, wherein the gas outlet is positioned at a first discharging position downstream of the reaction zone;
• a combustion channel that is in heat conducting relationship with the heat conducting walls, wherein the combustion channel comprises gas entry points configured to receive an oxygen comprising gas;
• and,
• a connection channel connecting the gas outlet and the combustion channel, and
• a solid outlet for discharging the residue at a discharging position downstream of the gas outlet.
