Patent ID: 8419812

Claim:
A reactor for the recovery of carbon and hydrocarbons from organic input material through pyrolysis, comprising: a vessel with a chamber that is limited outwardly by an outer jacket and by an upper and a lower end-wall section, and in which chamber input material in fragmented form is to be placed; an inlet which for the introduction of heated inert gas into the chamber for passage through the input material comprises several inlet units arranged in areas in the chamber; an outlet which for the passage out from the chamber of gas that has passed through the input material that has been placed in the chamber comprises number of outlet units ( 50 : 1 - 50 : n ) arranged in areas in the chamber; inlet units of the inlet arranged at mutually different levels of height in the chamber above the bottom of the vessel on which the input material is placed, wherein the inlet is placed in gas-transfer connection with a gas-emitting source through an inlet pipe belonging to each individual inlet unit such that the inlet units can lead gas to the chamber independently of each other, and wherein the outlet comprises a number of outlet units arranged in areas in the chamber that, for the leading of pyrolysis gas generated in the chamber out from the chamber, are placed in gas-transfer connection with a separate outlet pipe belonging to each outlet unit such that the outlet units can lead gas out from the chamber independently of each other.
