Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing a pyrolysis product, in which raw material are fed to the pyrolysis reactor and gaseous pyrolysis product fractions and by-product fractions are formed from raw material by pyrolysis in a pyrolysis reactor. According to the invention the method comprising steps: combusting at least one by-product fraction from the pyrolysis reactor in at least two combustors, and recovering energy formed in the combustor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a pyrolysis product, in which raw material is fed to a pyrolysis reactor and gaseous pyrolysis product fractions and by-product fractions are formed from raw material by pyrolysis in the pyrolysis reactor, and the gaseous pyrolysis product fractions are condensed to liquid pyrolysis product fractions, where the method comprises the steps of: combusting at least one by-product fraction comprising solid components from the pyrolysis reactor in at least two combustors so that the by-product fraction is partially combusted in a first combustor, solid components of the by-product fraction are recirculated back to the pyrolysis reactor, and the flue gases from the first combustor are supplied to a second combustor in which the flue gases are combusted to form energy; and recovering energy formed in the second combustor. 2. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that temperature is adjusted in the first combustor so that the temperature is below 700° C. 3. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the energy recovered in the second combustor is supplied to at least one of feed water and a steam circuit of a boiler.
