Abstract: A system for drying a load of wood including: a heat generating device providing heat necessary for drying the load of wood, apparatus for generating a gaseous coolant flow for treating the load of wood by combustion of biomass under O2, the gaseous coolant flow being essentially constituted by CO2, a heat exchange device allowing the transfer of the heat produced by the heat generating device to the gaseous coolant flow for treating the load of wood, a unit for treating/drying the load of wood, including a central volume, known as a technical or treatment volume, dedicated to the drying of the wood, and inlet and outlet hatches for the loads of wood, situated at the upstream and downstream ends of said central volume, and a thermal device for the dehydration and condensation of the steam extracted from the wood during the drying cycle.

Abstract: A system for thermally recycling waste, for example whole used tyres (P) and fractionated waste; includes a first thermal pyrolysis column, having a first thermal base from which combustible gases are produced; a nozzle for introducing these combustible gases into a second instantaneous combustion and rapid reduction column and igniting them by injection of oxygen, this second reducing column having a second thermal base provided for carrying out purification of the burnt gases and molecular cracking; and a chute for introducing waste into this second column.

Abstract: A regulating heat exchange and cooling method and system for monitoring and controlling the temperatures of walls subjected to high temperatures. The system is used to cool the inner wall of a thermal system having a double wall, the inner wall being subjected to temperatures equal to or greater than the physical capacity thereof. The system includes a network of tubes which is independent of the thermal system to be cooled. The tubes contain pressurized cooling water which circulates therethrough. The tubes have nozzles which spray and project water in the form of solid cones against the inner wall, the nozzles being controlled by adjustable-flow valves. The network of tubes forms an integral part of the outer wall of the thermal system to be cooled and the system also includes elements for maintaining the water projection area defined by the inner and outer walls in a vacuum condition.

Abstract: A thermal waste recycling system and method and to the application thereof in the treatment of high-water-content waste includes: a column for thermal waste pyrolysis, a thermal pyrolysis gas combustion chamber, a thermal purification and molecular cracking device, a heat exchange device comprising a condensation device and an element-concentration device, a device for the condensation of carbonic gas CO2, a device for cooling the hot parts of the system, and a cogeneration installation.
