Patent abstract
A method and device for converting municipal waste into energy. This method involves heating the waste in multiple sections of a chamber to produce syngas and biochar. The syngas is removed with a vacuum pump and the biochar advances to the next section and is heated to a higher temperature to release more syngas. All of the collected syngas is then transferred to a bio-reactor that removes dangerous carbon monoxide from the syngas mixture by combining the syngas with hydrogen, causing the carbon monoxide to react with the hydrogen and produce methane and water. The resulting syngas can then be used for electricity production or stored as dimethyl ether.
