A method and an apparatus for pyrolysing a solid organic feed material are disclosed. Solid organic material is moved through a reaction chamber and exposed to a temperature profile within the chamber that dries and pyrolyses the organic material and releases water vapour and a volatile products gas phase. The water vapour phase and the volatile products gas phase are moved counter-current to the solid organic material so that the water vapour phase and condensable components of the volatile products gas phase condense in cooler upstream sections of the chamber and form a liquid water product and a separate liquid oil product. The liquid water product is discharged via an outlet along the length of the chamber and a dried and pyrolysed solid product is discharged from a downstream outlet in the chamber.

A closed system for producing algae moves water that contains algae through an endless reactor tube that defines a continuous pathway. At least part of the tube floats on a volume of water. The tube is transparent to light. Water partially fills the tube and there is a gas space above the water in the tube, with two phase stratified flow of water and gas in the tube, gas transfer between the gas space and the water, and algae biomass suspended in the water. Nutrients and a gas and water are supplied to the tube. Algae are harvested from the tube.
