Abstract
The inventive subject matter is directed toward a pyrolytic waste treatment system having a pyrolysis chamber supported in a manner that causes minimal movement or flexing of the chamber as the temperature of the chamber changes. Preferred solutions utilize support structures made from materials having low coefficients of thermal expansion, and structures adapted to allow chambers to expand and contract with temperature changes.
Claims9
A pyrolytic waste treatment system comprising an elongated pyrolysis chamber wherein the chamber is supported by at least one support having a coefficient of thermal (linear) expansion less than U 10−6/° C. where U is 10, and wherein the at least one support comprises a ceramic or phenolic material.
A method of treating waste using a pyrolyis chamber comprising:
- heating the chamber while it contains waste to be treated;
- and
- while heating the chamber:
- supporting the chamber with one or more supports having coefficients of thermal expansion less than or equal to U −6/° C. where U is 10;
- and
- supporting the chamber in a manner that allows the chamber to expand lengthwise without flexing sufficiently to cause a feed mechanism to bind during heating of the chamber.
