System Description
The new technology incorporates a high temperature
energo-technological, non-hazardous, gasification process for any
materials containing carbon and hydrocarbon. This proven technology is
unique in that an all other mal supply of self generated high heat is
injected into the reactor in the total absence of oxygen and nitrogen.
Traditionally generated heat is replaced by a unique
restorer gas which is combined with a ration of water vapor quickly heated
to over 1800O C by a proprietary heater. The heat carrier (H2 & CO) is
blasted into the reactor with water vapor (H20). This combination
possesses special thermo physical properties due to the hydrocarbon
content.
The use of the unique carrier provides principal
advantages for this technology. For example, the combination of the high
temperature of the recycle mixture in the complete absence of oxygen and
nitrogen produces an intensive flowing pyrolysis process causing complete
transformation of the waste's organic structure. Absence of oxygen and
nitrogen in the heat source excludes direct oxidation, eliminating toxic,
chemical and other hazardous wastes.
The PURWOX System converts organic and inorganic
materials into a vitreous substance and a hydrogen-rich, clean and safe
pyrogas.
The interrelation of the properties of energy products
in the flow results in achieving maximum values of energy efficiency (95%)
and efficiency of the gasification process (99% plus). Once started, the
System does not require any external power to operate, only more trash,
24-hours a day.
