A continuous pyrolysis system includes an enclosure which receives an influx material at an entrance thereto and discharges a pyrolysate at a discharge therefrom. The entrance directs influx material into the enclosure while evacuating oxygen from the influx material. A conveyor is provided within the enclosure transporting the influx material from the entrance to the discharge. Pyrolysis is caused by a series of heat sources overlying the conveyor belt, the heat sources each including a parabolic reflective surface to enhance radiation heat transfer into the influx material. The pyrolysate is discharged in solid form through an output auger, in liquid form through a liquid outlet and in gaseous form through a gas outlet. The continuous pyrolysis system includes controls to provide a speed of the conveyor belt, completeness of the pyrolysis process, temperature of the heat sources and maintenance of an anaerobic environment within the enclosure.

A method for continuously pyrolizing an influx material into different constituent compounds within an anaerobic environment, including the steps of: providing an enclosure with an entrance, a discharge and a heating means therein, defining a quanta of influx material to be entered into the enclosure, compressing the quanta of influx material, purging oxygen from the quanta of influx material, entering the quanta of influx material into the enclosure without substantial oxygen coupled thereto, activating the heating means to pyrolize the influx material into pyrolysates, and discharging the pyrolysates from the disclosure.
