Abstract:
1. Apparatus for thermally processing slurry, comprising: a first reservoir for accepting slurry; a second reservoir for accepting bio-mass; a mixer pump connected to the first and second reservoirs and heatable to a cracking temperature to produce a reaction mixture; an outgas passageway connected to the mixer pump for receiving an outgased portion of the reaction mixture; a distillation column connected to the outgas passageway to produce at least one fraction from the outgased portion of the reaction mixture; a condenser disposed downstream of the distillation column for delivery of the at least one fraction of the distilled reaction mixture in liquefied form; and a residual matter container connected to the mixer pump by a conduit for temporary acceptance of a solid portion of the reaction mixture.
