Title:
MODULAR PLANT FOR PERFORMING CONVERSION PROCESSES OF CARBONACEOUS MATRICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/085880
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The modular plant, comprised of at least one basic module, is suitable for converting carbonaceous matrices (6) into fuel or other useful products with no adverse environmental impact. The modular plant includes a rotary reactor (9) equipped with a rotating drive mechanism (22) and a fixed stationary body (1). The inclination of the reactor (9) with rotating central longitudinal axis can be varied from 0° to 45° with respect to a horizontal plane. The reactor is comprised of a central body, substantially a cylinder closed at the first one end, the entry end, with a stationary fixed head (8) and at the other, the exit end, with a head fixed to the rotary reactor (9). The inlet end (8) contains two conduits, one (7) for the introduction of the carbonaceous matrix (6) into the rotary reactor and the other inlet (5) for the introducing of thermally conductive carriers (4). The rotary reactor (9) is devoid of internal components which provide rotation motion relative to the cylindrical body. The fixed housing body (1) enclosing the rotary reactor (9) seals the reactor and maintains the integrity of the reactor atmosphere with respect to the external ambient atmosphere. The housing has openings for the passage of the first and second inlets, as well as an exit for the converted carbonaceous matrix (17, 19) and the thermally conductive carrier (4).
