Claims
- 1. A process for operating a plant for thermal waste disposal, which comprises:
- indirectly heating waste within a pyrolysis reactor with a first heating device performing a major basal heating of the waste over an entire length of the pyrolysis reactor;
- directly heating the waste within the pyrolysis reactor with a second heating device performing a regulated, slight supplementary heating of the waste as required over the entire length of the pyrolysis reactor by introducing air into an interior of the pyrolysis reactor;
- converting the waste into low-temperature carbonization gas and solid pyrolysis residue in the pyrolysis reactor; and
- burning at least one of the low-temperature carbonization gas and the pyrolysis residue in a high-temperature reactor.
- 2. The process according to claim 1, which comprises controlling the introduction of the air into the interior of the pyrolysis reactor for keeping a temperature of the low-temperature carbonization gas substantially constant.
- 3. The process according to claim 1, which comprises introducing the air into a waste outlet region of the pyrolysis reactor.
- 4. The process according to claim 1, which comprises carrying out the heating performed by the first heating device with heating tubes passing through the interior of the pyrolysis reactor.
- 5. The process according to claim 1, which comprises carrying out the basal heating of the waste with heat energy being generated separately with the aid of a fuel.
- 6. The process according to claim 1, which comprises carrying out the basal heating of the waste with heat energy being taken off as waste heat from the high-temperature reactor.
- 7. The process according to claim 1, which comprises carrying out the basal heating of the waste with heat energy being generated separately with the aid of a fuel and being taken off as waste heat from the high-temperature reactor.
- 8. A plant for thermal waste disposal, comprising:
- a pyrolysis reactor having a given length and an interior;
- said pyrolysis reactor having a first heating device for indirectly heating waste within said pyrolysis reactor, said first heating device extending entirely over said given length of said pyrolysis reactor for major basal heating of the waste;
- said pyrolysis reactor having a second heating device for directly heating the waste within said pyrolysis reactor by air feed, said second heating device performing a regulated, slight supplementary heating of the waste as required entirely over said given length of said pyrolysis reactor, and said second heating device having a feed line for air terminating in said interior of said pyrolysis reactor;
- said pyrolysis reactor converting the waste into low-temperature carbonization gas and solid pyrolysis residue; and
- a high-temperature reactor for burning at least one of the low-temperature carbonization gas and the pyrolysis residue.
- 9. The plant according to claim 8, wherein said first heating device includes at least one burner device being fed with air and a fuel.
- 10. The plant according to claim 9, wherein said burner device is incorporated into a heating circuit.
- 11. The plant according to claim 10, wherein said heating circuit has a blower.
- 12. The plant according to claim 8, wherein said first heating device includes a heat exchanger disposed at said high-temperature reactor.
- 13. The plant according to claim 12, wherein said heat exchanger is incorporated into a heating circuit.
- 14. The plant according to claim 13, wherein said heating circuit has a blower.
- 15. The plant according to claim 8, wherein said high-temperature reactor has a superheater disposed therein, and said first heating device includes a steam air preheater connected to said superheater.
- 16. The plant according to claim 15, wherein said steam air preheater is incorporated into a heating circuit.
- 17. The plant according to claim 16, wherein said heating circuit has a blower.
- 18. The plant according to claim 15, including a flue gas control circuit for regulating a steam temperature of said steam air preheater.
- 19. The plant according to claim 8, wherein said second heating device includes at least one air nozzle supplying a stream of air, and a controller for controlling the stream of air.
- 20. The plant according to claim 19, wherein said controller is a low-temperature carbonization gas temperature controller.
- 21. The plant according to claim 19, including a discharge apparatus, a low-temperature carbonization gas line leading from said discharge apparatus, and a temperature sensor being disposed at said low-temperature carbonization gas line and being connected to said controller.
- 22. The plant according to claim 19, including an adjustable valve controlling the stream of air into said interior of said pyrolysis reactor, said controller having an output side connected to said adjustable valve.
