Disposal of sewage sludge and municipal refuse by the Occidental Flash Pyrolysis process

OSTI ID:6488566
Air-dried and ground municipal sewage sludge, and municipal solid waste have been pyrolyzed in a 2 kg/h pilot plant. An electrically heated vertical flow transport reactor with short residence time was used. Temperatures in the range 755 to 1144/sup 0/K (900 to 1600/sup 0/F) were investigated. Oil, gas, and char yields and composition varied appreciably with pyrolysis temperature. The results presented here suggest that the Occidental Flash Pyrolysis process can be applied successfully to the codisposal of municipal sewage sludge with municipal refuse.
