  • Apparatus for solid waste pyrolysis
    Patent number: 4261795
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an economical system for the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste to recover valuable by-products while reducing the putrefaction and bulk of the residue requiring disposal. Prior to this treatment, the solid waste has been processed to remove most of the metallic components, and shredded, which steps are not part of the invention disclosed. The pyrolysis and by-product recovery technology is complicated by (a) the inherent variability of the chemical and physical characteristics of the shredded solid waste as received at the pyrolysis plant and (b) the relatively low heat value of said waste as thus received.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 1979
    Date of Patent: April 14, 1981
    Inventor: Bertram B. Reilly
  • Apparatus for solid waste pyrolysis
    Patent number: 4247367
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an economical system for the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste to recover valuable by-products while reducing the putrecibility and bulk of the residue requiring disposal.
