FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of the heat shield wall 20. A large number of spherical ceramics 22 mounted on the support 21 in multiple stages form a heat-permeable heat-insulating wall 20 that defines the reforming region 15. Since the gap 25 of the heat shield wall 20 forms a large number of narrow channels that are dispersed and irregularly continuous throughout the heat shield wall, the droplets of the waste paint and the high-temperature air-fuel mixture flowing into the reforming area 15 are: It is dispersed in each narrow channel of the heat shield wall 20 and is effectively mixed in each narrow channel of a high-temperature atmosphere. For this reason, the steam reforming reaction of the hydrocarbon in the waste paint by the high-temperature steam effectively proceeds when the high-temperature gas passes through the gap 25 of the heat shield wall 20, and the reaction time of the steam reforming reaction is reduced. . At the same time, the heat shield wall 20 functions as a purifying means for trapping soot in the pyrolysis gas, condensed liquid of the tar-like component, etc., and purifying the reformed gas.

The mixing of the waste oil droplets and the high-temperature mixture in the reforming zone 15 and the gap 25 thermally decomposes the waste oil, and at the same time, the hydrocarbons of the pyrolyzed waste oil react with steam and air under a high-temperature atmosphere. Then, a steam reforming reaction of hydrocarbons in the pyrolysis gas proceeds. The spherical ceramic 22 is in heat transfer contact with the high-temperature gas and stores heat, and the high-temperature state of the gap 25 is maintained. The heat shield wall 20 prevents the heat of the reforming zone 15 from radiating to the horizontal flow path 51, insulates the reforming zone 15, and maintains a high-temperature atmosphere in the reforming zone 15.
