Abstract: A continuous high capacity system for converting hydrocarbon-containing post-consumer waste, post-industrial waste, and/or renewable hydrocarbon feedstock into biofuels having an extruder for agglomerating particles and pressurizing them, a shredder to shred the agglomerated particles, a heating system to rapidly heat the fine particulate, a separator that receives heated solids and prevents heated vapors from leaving the system, and a filter with solids separator that receives the heated vapor and further separates microfine solids from the heated vapor forming a substantially cleaned vapor. A vapor cooling system receives the substantially cleaned vapor and using controlled pressure and controlled temperature, cools the substantially cleaned vapor to at least one hydrocarbon liquid and a gas, forming a hydrocarbon liquid for transfer to another device and/or using the gas as a fuel.

Abstract: A continuous high capacity system for converting hydrocarbon containing post-consumer waste, post-industrial waste, renewable hydrocarbon feedstock into a biofuel, using a pug for blending less than 200 micron diameter particulate with a plasticizing agent; a sealing auger for forming an agglomerated material and sealing, a cutting device, a vacuum chamber to remove air from the cut material, an extruder forming an extrudate, a heating chamber or the heat exchanger to evolve at least one gas; a pressure sensor and temperature sensors in the heating chamber or the heat exchanger, a cooling chamber providing controlled pressure and controlled temperature cooling of the evolved gasses, wherein the cooling chamber liquefies sequentially at least 50 percent of the evolved gasses forming a liquid.

Abstract: A continuous high capacity system for converting a combination of natural gas and coal into liquid fuel, using a pug for blending less than 200 micron diameter particulate with a plasticizing agent; a sealing auger for forming an agglomerated material and sealing, a cutting device, a vacuum chamber to remove air from the cut material, a second sealing auger for forming a de-aerated agglomerated material and sealing, a second cutting device, a gas injection chamber for impregnating the de-aerated cut material with natural gas, an extruder forming an extrudate, a heating chamber to evolve at least one gas; a pressure sensor and temperature sensors in the heating chamber, a cooling chamber providing controlled pressure and controlled temperature cooling of the evolved gasses, wherein the cooling chamber liquefies sequentially at least 50 percent of the evolved gasses forming a liquid.
