A pyrolysis apparatus comprises a furnace (1) operating by fluidized bed combustion, a pyrolyzer (4) and flow paths, which connect the furnace (1) and the pyrolyzer (4) for arranging the circulation (C) of carrier material of the fluidized bed combustion between the furnace and the pyrolyzer .The ap
A pyrolysis apparatus comprises a furnace (1) operating by fluidized bed combustion, a pyrolyzer (4) and flow paths, which connect the furnace (1) and the pyrolyzer (4) for arranging the circulation (C) of carrier material of the fluidized bed combustion between the furnace and the pyrolyzer .The apparatus also comprises a supply inlet (14) for supplying fuel to be pyrolyzed to the pyrolyzer (4), fluidizing gas supply means (5) arranged in the pyrolyzer for fluidizing the mixture of carrier material and fuel, and an outlet (6) for taking condensible gaseous substances separated from the fuel to be pyrolyzed out of the pyrolyzer (4), and a condenser for condensing the condensible gaseous substances. The carrier material circulation is arranged at the furnace (1) by a cocurrent principle along the flow path of hot flue gases, which comprises a separator (3) located higher than the pyrolyzer (4), which separator is arranged to separate carrier material from flue gases, while the circulation also comprises a connecting conduit (11) between the separator (3) and the pyrolyzer (4) for moving the carrier material by gravity to the pyrolyzer (4), and a return path (12) between the pyrolyzer (4) and the furnace (1) for returning the carrier material to the furnace (1). The outlet (6) is arranged in the chamber formed by the pyrolyzer (4) in its upper part in a space above the fluidized mixture of carrier material and fuel in order to remove the condensible gaseous substances from the pyrolyzer.

The method according to claim 3, wherein fuel is supplied from above to the beginning of the pyrolysis process. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein most of the energy of the fuel of the combustion process originates in the pyrolysis process. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein additional fuel is supplied to the combustion process, in an amount corresponding to at the most 10% of the energy content of combustion process fuels originating in the pyrolysis process. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the fuel entering the pyrolysis process is dried with waste heat, such as heat from flue gas, low-pressure steam or product gas from pyrolysis process. 8. A pyrolysis apparatus, comprising a fluidized bed combustion furnace, means for fluidizing carrier material in the furnace, a pyrolyzer chamber, a flue gas channel exiting the furnace, a separator for separating carrier material from the flue gas channel and being located higher than the pyrolyzer chamber, and a connecting conduit between the separator and the pyrolyzer chamber for feeding carrier material by gravity to the pyrolyzer chamber, the apparatus further comprising a supply inlet for supplying fuel to be pyrolyzed to the pyrolyzer chamber, fluidizing gas supply means arranged in the pyrolyzer chamber for fluidizing a mixture of carrier material and fuel, and an outlet arranged in the upper part of the pyrolyzer chamber in connection with a space above the fluidized mixture of a carrier material and fuel for taking condensable gaseous substances that have separated from the fuel to be pyrolyzed out of the pyrolyzer chamber, and a condenser for condensing the condensable gaseous substances, the pyrolyzer chamber being bordered by the fluidized bed combustion furnace, being parallel to one wall of the furnace, and comprising a middle part and ends on both sides of the middle part, the connecting conduit for carrier material forming a carrier material inlet to the middle part of the pyrolyzer chamber, and the ends comprising carrier material return outlets to the fluidized bed combustion furnace, gas locks being provided by means of flow by gravity of said carrier material between the separator and the fluidized bed combustion furnace, said gas locks comprising:a first gas lock being located adjacent the carrier material inlet to said middle part of the pyrolyzer chamber and comprising an inlet for carrier material that is located in a lower position than an outlet for carrier material succeeding said inlet, andsecond gas locks being located at the ends of the pyrolyzer chamber and comprising inlets for carrier material that are located in a lower position than said carrier material return outlets succeeding said inlets. 9.
