Patent ID: 7182028

Claim:
A system for the pyrolization of waste comprising: a combustion chamber having a fuel inlet and a hot gas outlet; a pyrolization chamber separated from said combustion chamber, said pyrolization chamber connected to said hot gas outlet of said combustion chamber, said pyrolization chamber having a waste inlet and a pyrolized waste outlet, said pyrolization chamber comprising: a housing having an interior volume, said pyrolized waste outlet opening at a bottom of said housing; and a plurality of radiant tubes in fluidic connection with said hot gas outlet of said combustion chamber; and a conveyor means positioned in said pyrolization chamber, said conveyer means for moving waste from said waste inlet through said pyrolization chamber to said pyrolized waste outlet, said conveyer means comprising: a first conveyer having one end adjacent said waste inlet such that waste can be deposited thereon, said plurality of radiant tubes positioned over said first conveyor so as to direct heat toward a top surface of said first conveyor; and a deck with a surface supporting said first conveyor thereon, said deck having an interior volume, said plurality of radiant tubes in fluidic connection with said interior volume of said deck such that said hot gases from said plurality of radiant tubes can pass into said deck so as to transfer heat to said surface of said deck and to said first conveyor extending thereover.
