A bench scale working model of a patented rotary recycling separator for pyrolysis off-gases has been fabricated and tested. The device has been heated to collect only high boiling organics and refrigerated to collect more than 98 percent of the water and organics in test off-gas streams. The performance was improved by changing the shape of the outer shell and by adjusting the headspace above the self cleaning internal rotor. The cost of construction and the operating energy required are estimated to be similar to those of the condensers and cyclones in common use. 14 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
