REACTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PYROLYSIS OF CARBONACEOUS WASTE IN A FLUIDIZED BED OF PARTICULATE MATERIAL SUSCEPTIBLE TO INDUCTIVE HEATING

A reactor system for pyrolysis of carbonaceous waste, a method of treating waste comprising carbonaceous waste by pyrolysis in the reactor system, and uses of particulate material in the reactor system and/or method, are provided. The reactor system comprises a fluidised bed pyrolysis reactor. The fluidised bed pyrolysis reactor comprises a shell defining a heating chamber, the heating chamber having a fluidised bed zone configured to contain a fluidised bed of particulate material comprising particulate material susceptible to inductive heating. The reactor system also comprises a pyrolysis induction heater assembly comprising an induction emitter configured to inductively heat the particulate material. The shell of the reactor is made from an inductively inert material.
