ABSTRACT:
A tunnel oven for heating transported carbonaceous materials includes an enclosure having a passage and a transport device for moving solid carbonaceous materials through and along a length of the passage. A direct convection heater is operably connected to the enclosure to heat the solid carbonaceous material as the material is moved along the length of the passage. A temperature controller is operably coupled to the heater to provide one or more selected temperatures along the length of the passage. An atmosphere controller controls the heating atmosphere along the length of the passage so that the surface of the solid carbonaceous material is protected against oxidation.
