Abstract

A pyrolysis system may include a source of feed material having carbon and hydrogen bonds, a feed material transport system and a pyrolysis unit. The pyrolysis may be configured to rest upon a support surface and having a feed material inlet coupled by the feed material transport system to the source of feed material. The pyrolysis unit may define therein a reaction chamber having a length and having the feed material inlet defined at one end thereof. The reaction chamber may define a material flow axis in the reaction chamber from the feed material inlet along its length that is oriented one of parallel to and at an acute angle relative to the support surface. The pyrolysis unit may define at least one outlet for extraction of at the least one of a solid, gaseous and liquid fuel from the reaction chamber.

Claims

1. A pyrolysis system for producing at least one or more of a solid, gaseous and liquid fuel, comprising:

a source of feed material having carbon and hydrogen bonds,

a feed material transport system,

a pyrolysis unit configured to rest upon a support surface and having a feed material inlet coupled by the feed material transport system to the source of feed material, the pyrolysis unit defining therein a reaction chamber having a length and having the feed material inlet defined at one end thereof, the reaction chamber defining a material flow axis in the reaction chamber from the feed material inlet along its length that is oriented one of parallel to and at an acute angle relative to the support surface, the pyrolysis unit defining at least one outlet for extraction of at the least one of a solid, gaseous and liquid fuel from the reaction chamber.
