  • Publication number: 20260110491
    Abstract: A plant for treating organic material, having a reactor configured to dry organic material and a closure device (9) operating on a loading channel (6) for feeding material into the reactor. The closure device is designed to interact with material located at the outlet mouths (7) of the loading channel using separation elements (11). According to further aspects, the system may include an active filter (34) on a gas exhaust duct (30) that directs moisture-rich gases outside the reactor. In addition, the plant may be equipped with one or more suspension systems (57) that connect a frame (56) supporting the reactor to an angular position sensor (59), enabling translational movement of the sensor (59) relative to the frame. In other aspects, a process for treating organic material is provided, which involves loading the material into the reactor in a differentiated manner across two or more zones (3a) within the reactor (2).

  • Publication number: 20250002799
    Abstract: Reactor for treatment of organic material comprising a main channel (31) defining a treatment chamber (2) of the organic material comprising an inlet (3) and an outlet (4), a main conveyor (17) operating in the treatment chamber (2) and configured for moving the organic material under treatment from the inlet (3) to the outlet (4) along a predetermined treatment path within the main channel (31), a heater active on the main channel (31); the reactor also has a gas branch manifold (7) having a proximal portion (7a) connected to the main channel (31) at a gas outlet opening (8) present on the main channel (31) and spaced apart from the inlet (3) and from the outlet (4) of the main channel (31), and a distal portion (7b) spaced apart from the gas outlet opening (8) and having a gas discharge orifice (10). A plant and a process using the above reactor are also described.

  • Publication number: 20250003583
    Abstract: An apparatus for combustion of synthetic gases comprises a burner (75), a combustion chamber (62) cooperating with the burner (75) and having an outlet (64) destined to eject exhaust gases, a fluid supply circuit (65) configured for supplying a comburent gas to the burner (75), wherein the fluid supply circuit (65) is at least partially outside the combustion chamber (62) and has one or more channels (66) in contact with an outer surface (62a) of the combustion chamber (62) for exchanging heat with the combustion chamber itself. A plant and a process using the above combustion apparatus are also described.
