  • the adjacent bed of fill can be heated to temperatures of up to 300 °, as a result of which the condensation point of the pyrolysis oils and of the tar products shifts into the core of the bed.
  • the shaft melt carburetor sized for about 1 t / h throughput, filled with filling coke to about 500 mm above the injectors 14 before the start of the process.
  • the feed is set, which consists of the aggregates 0.04 t / h coke and 0.04 t / h lime and 1 t / h waste wood with metal components, railway sleepers and chipboard is, by means of the delivery device 18 through the shaft parts 8: 7 directly to the high temperature zone H.
  • the shaft-melt carburetor is filled to the level indicator 16 and the injectors 9; 14 and used as suction quench, steam boiler or spray absorber 10 are put into operation.
  • the oxygen introduced by the injectors 9 is considered to be important A prerequisite for the entire process of melt gasification
  • the energy demand of the system can be ensured in such a way that the flowability of metal and slag is ensured with normal use of coke and the pyrolysis coke bed temperatures required for pyrolysis and reduction work are maintained become. This creates the conditions for complete thermal decomposition of both the charged and gaseous organic pollutants that are newly formed during the process.
  • the crude gas is composed of the gaseous reaction products formed in zones H and Z. At the same time, it is sucked off laterally between the high-temperature zone H and the reduction / crack zone Z in counterflow, in the direct current and transversely to the flow directions of the furnace gases.
  • the quenches or spray absorbers 10 promote about 1600 Nm 3 / h of crude gas containing 334 1 / h of water, which is condensed out.
