Switzerland based Holcim Technology Ltd filed patent application for method for treating
alternative, carbon-containing, low-caloric waste materials for use in
furnace systems. The inventors are Ernst Frank and Obrist Albert.
According to the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks, "In a method for treating alternative, carbon-containing, low- caloric waste materials for use in furnace systems, in particular rotary tubular kilns for the production of clinker, the carbon-containing, alternative fuels are subjected to high- temperature gasification under anoxic conditions at temperatures above 1000C, wherein water, water vapor or CO2 is injected to ensure a reaction forming CO and H2. The waste heat from a clinker cooler is used for the high-temperature gasification."
