description The invention comprises a multi-stage process and apparatus that converts various waste and low~value feedstocks, such as offal, animal manures, municipal sewage sludge, tires, and plastics, to produce useful materials, including gas, oil, specialty chemicals, and carbon solids, in reliable purities and compositions, at acceptable cost and with high energy efficiency, without producing malodorous emissions. The invention further provides for an apparatus for converting an organic liquor into a mixture of hydrocarbons and carbon solids, comprising: a heater for producing a mixture of liquid and vaporized oil from the organic liquor; a reactor for converting the mixture into carbon solids and a hydrocarbon/gas mixture; a first cooler for accepting the carbon solids; and a second cooler for accepting the hydrocarbon/gas mixture. The invention still further relates to a separator that separates out particulates of a dimension of about 1 micron, such as cellular debris from bacteria, from a surrounding fluid. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil à étages multiples permettant de convertir divers déchets et matières premières de faible valeur, de type abats, engrais animaux, boues d'épuration municipales, pneumatiques et plastiques afin d'obtenir des matières utiles, notamment du gaz, de l'huile, des produits chimiques spéciaux et des solides carbonés dans des produits purs et des compositions fiables, à un coût acceptable et à un rendement énergétique élevé, sans production d'émissions malodorantes. L'invention concerne également un appareil permettant de convertir une liqueur organique en mélange d'hydrocarbures et en solides carbonés, qui comprend: une unité de chauffage permettant de produire un mélange d'huile liquide et vaporisée à partir de la liqueur organique; un réacteur permettant de convertir le mélange en solides carbonés et en mélange hydrocarbures/gaz; une première unité de refroidissement permettant d'accepter les solides carbonés; et une deuxième unité de refroidissement permettant d'accepter le mélange hydrocarbures/gaz. L'invention concerne en outre un séparateur qui sépare des particules de dimension environ égale à 1 micron, de type débris cellulaires de bactéries, d'un fluide environnant.
