NOVELTY - Production of hydrocarbon fuel (M1) involves: exposing a carbon-based material to catalytic liquid media to form hydrocarbon fuel.    USE - For production of hydrocarbon fuel selected from non-condensable gases, kerosene or diesel fuel; in a waste to fuel conversion process; in a power generation process; in fuel generation process; for servicing reactant media pumps coupled to both inlet and outlet conduits containing reactant media (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The process converts carbon-based material such as waste material into fuel which is used to power turbine and vehicles; and is economically and environmentally friendly.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a waste to fuel conversion process (M2) involving providing a low-moisture carbon-based waste material; exposing the waste material to a catalytic liquid reaction media under oxygen-free atmosphere within a reactor; and recovering gaseous hydrocarbon fuel from the reactor;    (2) a waste material processing reactor configured to convert waste to fuel comprising columnar vessel extending along the vessel walls from a base portion to a top portion; opening within the top portion of the vessel, where the opening is configured to receive carbon-based waste material; and liquid media conduit extending from the base portion to the top portion of the vessel, where the conduit is configured to circulate liquid media from within the base portion of the reactor to the top portion of the reactor;    (3) a waste to fuel process (M3) involving exposing a solid carbon-based material to a liquid reaction media to form a hydrocarbon fuel mixture, where the fuel mixture comprises non-condensable hydrocarbon fuel and condensable hydrocarbon fuel; and separating the non-condensable hydrocarbon fuel from the condensable hydrocarbon fuel;    (4) a power generation process (M4) involving exposing solid carbon-based material to a liquid reaction media to form vaporized hydrocarbon fuel; and providing the vaporized hydrocarbon fuel to a combustion turbine to generate power;    (5) a combustion turbine exhaust apparatus comprising columnar housing extending along a plane from an inlet portion to outlet portion; columnar exhaust chute within the housing and extending parallel along the plane, where the exhaust chute recessed from the walls of the housing, and the exhaust chute and housing defines a space between the chute and housing; and several heating fluid conduits within the space and extending along the plane;    (6) a fuel generation process (M5) involving exposing a solid carbon-based material to a liquid reaction media to form a mixture of hydrocarbon fuel; separating the fuel into at least two portions, a first portion and a second portion; providing the first portion to a combustion turbine to generate power; and storing the second portion for use as fuel;    (7) a fuel generation system (90a) comprising a reactor configured to house a liquid reaction media and receive solid carbon based material; distillation apparatus coupled to the reactor and configured to receive gaseous hydrocarbon fuel from the reactor; and combustion turbine (92) coupled to the distillation apparatus and configured to receive distillate portions from the distillation apparatus;    (8) a reaction media conduit coupled to a reaction media pump, a portion of the conduit proximate the pump comprising a jacket defining a volume configured to receive a refrigerant material; and    (9) a process (M6) for servicing reactant media pumps coupled to both inlet and outlet conduits containing reactant media involving at least partially solidifying portions of the reactant media proximate to the pump and within each of the inlet and outlet conduits; and uncoupling at least a portion of the pump from either of the conduits while maintaining a majority of the reactant media within the conduits.
