The HOTCO PyroKracker TM  thermal converter oven produces the cleanest burning fuel gas of any waste to energy thermal cracking device and is the only one that can be changed from pure pyrolysis to partial oxidation (gasification) mode while operating.

The PyroKrackerTM Edmondson Patent Oven can be used to heat, dry or sanitize virtually any feedstock. It can be utilized to pyrolyze and thermally reform or gasify any organic carbon based compound. The materials and products being processed are transported through the oven without the application of rotating screw conveyors and augers. The PyroKrackerTM Oven is the most simple of all thermal conversion devices to manufacture and offers the most dependable and low cost operation.

HISTORY:

April 2004 HOTCO Engineering was asked to evaluate equipment being constructed by Simeken Inc. of Signal Hill, CA for a scrap tire processing plant to be installed at Shafter, CA. A component of the system was a Pyrolysis Retort Oven utilizing screws and augers to move shredded scrap tires through the oven for thermal decomposition to vapor and carbon char. It was determined by HOTCO that the oven under construction would not provide sustained operation due to likely frequent failure of the rotating mechanisms and further it did not provide a means for sufficient heat transfer to the feedstock. HOTCO designed and patented the PyroKracker(tm) Thermal Decomposer, a radically different and greatly improved Oven, with a manufacturing cost one third of the original oven. HOTCO is the sole owner of the patents. Details of this original application available at www.simeken.com
