Development of Pyrolysis Technology of Organic Waste Recycling for Maritime Complex: Feeding System of Waste into the Pyrolysis Reactor

Abstract

The technological and structural specific features of the plunger system of organic waste loading into the hermetically sealed pyrolysis reactor operating in a continuous mode are discussed.  Research aim is to develop the safe, eco-friendly system of organic waste recycling which are forming in the process of maritime complex enterprises activity; to provide the continuous eco-friendly safe loading of crushed organic waste into the hermetically sealed reactor of multistage circuit pyrolysis. The theoretical calculations on the geometry optimization of the output nozzle installed at the output of the plunger system which forms the cork from the loaded crushed polymers which provides the sealing of the pyrolysis reactor are carried out. The experimental studies of nozzles in continuous operation mode of the reactor are performed. The development of plunger system structure with the optimal nozzle and simulated in 3D is completed. It is experimentally proved that the proposed optimal structure of the outlet nozzle in the form of a truncated pyramid with conicity of 1:3 installed to the reactor with its big base, in its low point, stably restores the technological cork in the process of the continuous crushed polymers feeding into the medium of molten polymers, at a given internal pressure in the reactor. The research results can be used for designing the industrial plants on thermal recycling of organic waste with obtaining the alternative types of fuel for maritime complexes, airports, hospitals, towns and villages, where during their industrial activity the organic waste are formed.  The established theoretical laws and structural solutions can effectively solve the problem of designing the commercial industrial plants on the thermal recycling of organic waste with obtaining the alternative fuels in the eco-friendly mode.
