Abstract
A device for removing carbon deposits on solid objects, includes an inlet (102) for the objects to be treated, a zone (101a) for heating the objects having a feed (104) and an outlet for the heating gas, a zone (101b) for treating the objects by oxidation and/or gasification having a feed (105) and an outlet (108) for the gasification fluid, an outlet (118) for the treated objects. The heating zone (101a ) and the treating zone (101b) are situated in a single enclosure (100) and comprise a substantially flat-bottomed vibrating element (101) intended for transport of the objects, the bottom allowing support of the objects, diffusion of the fluid through the objects and transmission of the vibrations. A zone (101c) for cooling solids, placed in the enclosure (100) downstream from the treating zone (101b) in relation to the direction of displacement of the solids in the enclosure (100), and a heater (115) external to enclosure (100) is provided.
