Abstract
Abstract In a method of thermal solid waste exploitation the pure pyrolysis gases are used for auxiliary heating in combustion and the flue gases from combustion are used for heating in pyrolysis. In a solid waste processing installation the pure gas outlet of the pyrolysis unit is connected to the auxiliary burner of the combustion unit and the pyrolysis reactor is arranged between the flue gas outlet of the combustion unit and a waste heat retrieval unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A solid waste procesing apparatus comprising: a pyrolysis unit including a pyrolysis gas purifying means; a combustion unit including an auxiliary burner; first means for communicating pure pyrolysis gas from said pyrolysis unit with said auxiliary burner; second means for communicating flue gas from said combustion unit with said pyrolysis unit; means for waste heat retrieval; third means for communicating said flue gas from said pyrolysis unit with said means for waste heat retrieval; and a pure pyrolysis gas storage container connected to said first means for communicating, whereby a sufficient volume of said pure pyrolysis gas for start up and peak gas eduction is available for use in said combustion unit.
