TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - Preferred Process: At least a portion of the gas including hydrocarbons and the liquids including hydrocarbons are input into a burner within the heated enclosure. Fuel to the burner is controlled as a function of a measured drum temperature.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Preferred Components: A drum sensor senses a temperature within the rotating drum. A vertical input conveyor is in fluid communication with input control valves for providing a plug of waste material for minimizing vacuum loss. A vertical waste conveyor is in fluid communication with the discharge control valves for providing a plug of carbon black solids for minimizing vacuum loss. Each of the input conveyors, discharge conveyors and heated conveyor within the flow line includes a rotary auger. The flow line extends in one axial direction and in an opposing axial direction within the heated chamber. A drum magnet is provided upstream from the input conveyors for removing metal particles from rubber particles of recycled waste. A nitrogen supply system supplies nitrogen to carbon black solids discharged from the discharge conveyors. A water chiller cools hydrocarbon vapors passing through the condenser. A condensing column upstream of the condenser separates liquids and gases. Hydrocarbon vapors are input into a lower portion of the condensing column. Sensors detect a leak within a vacuum system between the input control valves and the discharge control valves. A flow meter measures a flow rate of hydrocarbon vapors to the condenser. Load cells measure a weight of recycling waste in a hopper upstream from the input conveyors to provide an input weight of waste material as a function of time. A steam line inputs steam at greater than 800degreesF into the rotary drum. A boiler is heated by the gas including hydrocarbons and/or the liquids including hydrocarbon to provide steam to the steam lines. A vacuum pump maintains a selected vacuum between the input valves and the discharge valves of 0.5-2.5 inches of water.
