Abstract:
1. A catalytic reactor comprising a heatable reactor pipe with a feed arrangement located at a beginning of the reactor pipe for the supply to the reactor pipe of organic material which is transported through the pipe by way of a conveyor system and thereby catalytically decomposed; a removal arrangement located at an end of the reactor pipe to remove char generated by the catalytic decomposition; and a recirculation arrangement which recirculates at least a part of the char as catalytic material to the beginning of the reactor pipe; wherein the reactor is oriented upright and has an inner pipe concentric with the reactor pipe, whereby the organic material is transported from the top down through an annular gap defined between the reactor pipe and the inner pipe, and the recirculation arrangement is positioned in the inner pipe.
