ABSTRACT:
Direct gasification of a high BTU content fuel gas from a hydrocarbon content solid waste material W which may include some glass content is effected by preheating heat carrier solids HCS in a flash calciner to a temperature capable of thermally cracking the hydrocarbon content of the solid waste material W directly into the high BTU content fuel gas. The HCS are separated from the products of combustion and fed into a gas sealed refractory lined horizontal axis rotary kiln retort concurrently with the solid waste W. Momentary contact and mixing of the solid waste W with the HCS in the rotary kiln in the absence of oxygen is sufficient to directly thermally crack the solid waste material into the high BTU gas product. Separated HCS are returned to the flash calciner for reheating. A trommel, coupled directly to the output of the rotary kiln retort and having a trommel screen with mesh openings smaller than glass agglomerates, but sized larger than the HCS, permits separation of the HCS and discharging of glass agglomerates from the downstream end of the trommel screen to prevent shut down of the direct gasification unit. Direct gasification of steel industry waste water treatment plant sludge, automobile shredded refuse ASR, municipal solid waste MSW and refuse derived fuel RDF and oil mill scale is effectively achieved, irrespective of glass content contaminant.
