Patent ID: 8518218

Claim:
A continuous fed pyrolysis reactor for decomposing rubber products through pyrolysis, the continuous fed pyrolysis reactor includes: a thermal inlet for receiving thermal energy to heat up the continuous fed pyrolysis reactor under a controlled temperature; a feed port for receiving inlet products; an outlet port for discharging carbonized products; an outlet duct for extracting oil vapour and synthesis gas after the inlet product is partially decomposed; a first cylinder to partially decompose the inlet product; a second cylinder to completely decompose the inlet product; a chamber including a void surrounding the sealed first and second cylinder, wherein air is circulated within the void of the chamber to heat the first and second cylinder; and a conveyor means to move and drag inlet product through to the first cylinder and the second cylinder, wherein: the first cylinder and the second cylinder are sealed and operate under partial vacuum to chemically decompose the inlet product; temperature of circulating air within the continuous fed pyrolysis reactor is between about 500° C. to about 600° C.; and in operation, the conveyor means is continuously moving and dragging the inlet product from the feed port through the first cylinder and through the second cylinder and re-enters the feed port to further collect inlet product to be decomposed.
