Abstract

A continuous pyrolysis system is adapted for continuous pyrolysis of tire shreds with the simultaneous recovery of solid, liquid, and gas pyrolysate. The pyrolysis system includes an anaerobic pyrolyzing chamber with a conveyor for conveying tire shreds therethrough from an infeed end to a solids output end, and a heater for pyrolyzing the tire shreds as they are conveyed. The system also includes a solid pyrolysate output device for removing solid pyrolysate from the chamber, a liquid and gas pyrolysate output device for removing liquid and gas pyrolysate from the chamber, and a tire shred infeed device for feeding tire shreds into the chamber without interrupting either the pyrolysis of tire shreds already in the chamber, or the removal of pyrolystate from the chamber. The tire shred infeed device, and pyrolysate removal devices are each adapted for operation without the introducing substantial amounts of air into the chamber and without allowing substantial amounts of pyrolysate to escape into the atmosphere.
