NOVELTY - The system (100) has a reciprocating reactor assembly (106) receiving a carbonaceous feedstock (204) and reacting the feedstock to produce product gases (206) and product solids (208). A gas off-take assembly (108) is connected to an outer reactor zone (180) of the reactor assembly for removing the gases from the system. A solids off-take assembly (110) is connected to the zone of the reactor assembly for removing the product solids from the system. A junction (102) fluidly joins a feeder assembly (104) to the reactor assembly and joins the zone to the gas and solids off-take assemblies.    USE - Continuous pyrolysis system for providing thermal decomposition of a carbonaceous feedstock to produce biochar, water and gases. Uses include but are not limited to a sort of organic material i.e. woody, herbaceous plant material e.g. wood log, slab, chip and bark, agricultural residue e.g. corncob, corn stover, wheat straw, nutshell and sugar cane bagasse, organic fraction of municipal solid waste, plastic, tire, sewage sludge, manure and residue of animal husbandry e.g. bone and carcasses.    ADVANTAGE - The system allows return auger and gas ports to minimize gas flow in a portion of the zone that is located past the gas ports so as to ensure reverse flow of gas against direction of the feedstock in an inner reactor zone and to enhance heat transfer within the reactor assembly. The system utilizes pressurization to increase thermal efficiency of the system due to reasons and to compress the gases to enhance convective heat transfer between the gases and solids, so that pressurization can increase residence time within the reactor assembly by virtue of gas compression and decrease gas flow velocity within the reactor assembly, thus allowing higher throughputs without reaching critical gas velocities inside a given reactor geometry. The system increases residence time to facilitate high gas/solids interactions, thus allowing the gases to more fully approach chemical equilibrium before exiting.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for facilitating continuous pyrolysis.
