Very well said! There is never a free lunch.
The 3 products would be the un-condensible gas witch would be recycled and flared off into the heating process. The liquids which are the target. And then the mysterious solids which is essentially carbon black. In theory the heavy metals would be left in the petroleum coke from the original refinement. Wish I had my own independent lab to figure out what exactly is left over. Can think of a ton of industrial uses which are far from back yard capable. Press briquettes?
