Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fuels from solid biomass and plastics, characterized in that in a first step biomass and plastics are dispersed at 300-400° C. in the presence of recycled carrier oil; in a second step the obtained mixture is brought to reaction at 300-400° C.; in a third step the resulting gaseous, liquid, and solid products are separated from one another and optionally further processed; wherein the ratio of biomass to plastic is in the range of 80:20 to 10:90% by weight, and wherein the method is conducted without externally supplying carrier oil and wherein the method is carried out without externally supplying catalyst. The invention further relates to facilities for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The biological washing reactor and the wet electrofilter are located in a common container. This container ends at the bottom at a biotank. A droplets remover is located at the purified gas outlet. The exhaust gas which is to be purified and which contains impurities in form of aerosols, dust and organic gases flows through the exhaust gas inlet into the container and flows firstly through the preliminary separator and thereafter through a biological washing reactor and the wet electrofilter. The process water for the continuous sprinkling of the preliminary separator and of the biological washing reactor, and for the intermittent cleaning of the wet electrofilter and of the droplets remover is circulated in a closed loop via the biotank. The circulated process water is regenerated in the biotank.

Abstract: The exhaust gas enters via an exhaust gas line into a washing apparatus. In the washing apparatus solid matter particles are predominantly separated. The pre-washed exhaust gas flows from the washing apparatus through a droplet removing conduit to a trickling filter device in order to be subjected to an activated sludge treatment for the separating of gaseous contaminants. In order to reduce the point of condensation and accordingly the absolute humidity of the exhaust gas for the activated sludge treatment either fresh air is added through a feed line to the pre-washed exhaust gas or the washing water which is led in a closed circuit through the washing water line of the washing apparatus is cooled in a heat exchanger in a cooling tower. A portion of the washing water of the washing apparatus is led through a first solid matter removing apparatus of which a portion of the filtrate is led to an activated sludge basin located under the trickling filter device.
