As a typical tubular reactor, the screw tube, with its lower construction and operation costs, has great future prospects. For this design, the screw speed can be varied within 0.5–25 rpm (rotations per minute), thereby changing the residence time of the materials. Examples of tubular reactors used in pyrolysis systems include in the Thermoselect process, the Compact Power process and CNRS thermo-chemical convertor<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0956053X20305869 Comparative Analysis for Pyrolysis of Sewage Sludge in Tube Reactor]</ref>. | As a typical tubular reactor, the screw tube, with its lower construction and operation costs, has great future prospects.

This reactor system has been found to be useful for both the thermal and catalytic cracking of waste plastics. However, tubular reactors have the same rigid requirements for MSW pre-treatment as the fluidised-bed reactors due to the small channel for passage of MSW. In addition, erosion caused by sand and other hard solids contained in the MSW can be a risk for this reactor, and heat transfer rates are not well defined for different waste types<ref name="ref1" />. | |||
