TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The retort is rotated in direction opposite a direction of rotation of the one or more augers. The temperature adjusting means comprises a cooling/heating jacket encasing the solid products. The conveyor comprises an auger and a retort, where the auger is rotatably disposed in the retort, and the retort is rotatable in a direction counter to a direction of rotation of the auger. The heater comprises heating chambers. The axial length of each of the heating chambers is adjustable. The conveyor comprises one or more augers each comprising a shaft, and further comprises a vapor barrier seal comprising at least two vapor barrier collars disposed about the shaft, where a sensor senses the gas products disposed between the at least two vapor barrier collars. The system further comprises: means for maintaining the resultant chamber at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure; a dust clarifier disposed downstream of the resultant chamber for capturing carbon nanostructures; one or more of directly or indirectly coupled to the pyrolysis unit, pyrolysis unit, a liquefaction system, a vacuum distillation system, and a closed-loop melting and cleansing system; and a control/monitoring system utilizing one or more of IEEE 1701, IEEE 1702, IEEE 1377, IEEE 1703, IEEE 1704, IEEE 1704 over IP communications module, and transparent bridging enhancement technology (TBET).    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The process further comprises: removing at least some of the noxious chemicals from the gas product using activated carbon as a filtering medium, where the removing step occurs at a controlled temperature; injecting steam into or the feedstock prior to or concurrent with the pyrolyzing step; injecting viscous/liquid organic material into or the feedstock prior to or concurrent with the pyrolyzing step; monitoring the gas product for BTU collective value per cubic foot and modifying the pyrolyzing step accordingly; injecting a sequestration agent into or the feedstock prior to or concurrent with the pyrolyzing step; injecting a non-wetting agent into or about the feedstock prior to or concurrent with the pyrolyzing step; maintaining a positive pressure in the retort; collecting carbon nanostructures from the solid product prior to the removing step; and running a low-temperature liquefaction process using waste heat from the pyrolyzing step. The steam injecting step is performed responsive to and controlled based on the constituents of the gas product. The viscous/liquid organic material injecting step is performed responsive to and controlled based on the constituents of the gas product. The sequestration agent injecting step is performed responsive to and controlled based on the constituents of the gas product. The non-wetting agent injecting step is performed responsive to and controlled based on an analysis of the solid product. The removing step comprises removing at least some of the noxious chemicals from the gas product using activated carbon as the filtering medium in the steps, where the removing step occurs at controlled temperatures. The portion of the activated carbon is obtained from the pyrolyzing step. The pyrolyzing step comprises conveying the feedstock through a pyrolysis chamber using one or more augers disposed within a retort. The retort is rotated. The carbon nanostructures are collected by imposing an electrostatic charge on them and gathering them using an electrically-charged plate. Preferred Components: The solid products comprise activated carbon.
