Abstract

The invention relates to a tubular reactor with a rotating reactor chamber (9) for thermal treatment of biomass. It is characterized by the reactor chamber (9) being subdivided into zones by ring-shaped plates (10). These zones cause the particles to be retained in a particular area and thoroughly mixed there, i.e., the particles being treated are homogenized and the retention time also becomes more homogenous.
