A system for refining hydrocarbon containing materials in a continuous coking mode may provide a pyrolyzer () which may be inclined to effect a liquid seal between a liquid conduction environment () and a gaseous conduction environment (). A heat source () may heat the material past the coking point and the system may include a screw or auger () which can continuously remove the coke while simultaneously outputting refined products.

A process for the recovery of tank bottom wastes employing a flash tank fed with hot, pressurized tank bottom wastes and separating a vapor component and heavier bottoms then fed to a stripping reactor along with hot gas producing an overhead vapor with a solid remainder. Such remainder is alternatively fed to a pyrolyzing reactor at elevated temperatures producing vapors with a solid residue. The vapor streams are used with a regenerative heat exchanger to heat said tank bottom wastes to a temperature appropriate for entering the flash tank. Certain recycled material is employed as fuel.
