[[Heated Tube|Heated tube]] reactors include a 'family' of [[Treatment|thermal treatment]] reactors with fixed walls in a tube shape with the [[Feedstock|feedstock]] inside being transported via various driving modes. Tubular reactors are externally heated and so are often used for [[Pyrolysis|pyrolysis]] applications as this allows the introduction of heat without oxygen. The type of driving modes/systems takes different forms such as a screw pyrolyser, a tubular rectilinear reactor (with solids driven forward by a vibro-fluidised transport), and a tube with an inner mixer. The advantages of these systems include: | [[Heated Tube|Heated tube]] reactors include a 'family' of [[Treatment|thermal treatment]] reactors with fixed walls in a tube shape with the [[Feedstock|feedstock]] inside being transported via various driving modes.
