Abstract

An improved process of the type wherein a fuel is first pyrolyzed in a chamber and the resulting volatiles and non-volatiles are then transferred to a combustion region for burning, the improvement comprising temporarily storing at least a portion of the volatiles in an enclosure spaced from the chamber and the combustion region when volatiles production exceeds the volatiles incineration capability of the combustion region. Apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention is also disclosed.
