Abstract
Waste solids are treated by pyrolysis at a temperature over 700 degrees C. to produce char and a gas. The gas is treated in an anaerobic digester. In one system, gas and digestate are brought into contact in a diffusion cone. In another option, headspace gas above the digestate is re-circulated through the digestate, for example by way of an eductor downstream of the diffusion cone.
