Abstract:
A system and method for the pyrolysis of a pyrolysis feedstock utilizes a pyrolysis reactor having a pyrolysis conduit and a solids return conduit segment. Each segment is configured with an outlet and an inlet to receive and discharge solid materials that are circulated through the reactor through the different segments. A solids conveyor is disposed within the pyrolysis conduit segment to facilitate conveying solid materials from the solids inlet upward through the pyrolysis conduit segment toward the solids discharge outlet. A pyrolysis feedstock is introduced into the pyrolysis reactor and at least a portion of the feedstock is converted to pyrolysis gases within the pyrolysis conduit segment, which are discharged through a gas outlet.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for the pyrolysis of a pyrolysis feedstock comprising:\n a pyrolysis reactor comprising:\n a pyrolysis conduit segment having a solids inlet at an inlet end and a solids discharge outlet at an opposite discharge end, the pyrolysis conduit segment also having at least one gas outlet for exhausting gases from the pyrolysis conduit segment, the pyrolysis conduit segment being sloped upward from the inlet end to the discharge end; \n a solids return conduit segment having a discharged solids inlet at one end that is positioned below and in communication with the solids discharge outlet of the pyrolysis conduit segment for receiving solids discharged from the solids discharge outlet of the pyrolysis conduit segment and a solids return outlet at an opposite end, the solids return conduit segment being sloped downward from the discharged solids inlet end to the solids return outlet end, the solids return outlet being positioned above and in communication with the solids inlet of the pyrolysis conduit segment for delivering solids to the solids inlet; and \n a solids conveyor disposed within the pyrolysis conduit segment to facilitate conveying solid materials from the solids inlet upward through the pyrolysis conduit segment toward the solids discharge outlet.
