During the first stage, gasification of solid and liquid wastes is produced in the reactor in the super-diabatic mode. The resulting product is a gas containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon hydrides as combustible components. When wastes including complex organic compounds are processed the resulting gas product, besides hydrogen, carbon oxide and monoxide, etc., contains aerosol of very fine hydrocarbon or resin drops whose composition is determined by the nature of processed raw materials. The gas product is removed from the gasificator at the temperature of 100° to 300°C and passes through a high temperature (900° to 1,500°C for various technological options) zone having a high oxygen content, and after that it does not actually have any unburned carbon and organic remnants. Low linear speeds of gas flows inside the gasificator, availability of a dense layer of batch mixture and absence of preliminary grinding lead to a complete absence of solid dust particles in the gas product. Gasification is performed under a pressure close to atmospheric pressure.

When the aerosol contains products of independent value (e.g. hydrocarbons resulting from processing oil wastes, isoprene oligomers when processing caoutchouc, car tires, etc.) they are separated before secondary combustion.

• High-energy efficiency reaching 95% at the gasification stage with absence of external energy sources.
• Possibility to process solid and liquid ash-rich and high-moisture wastes which either burn poorly in other devices or leave after burning much soot and other products of incomplete combustion. Thus, for example, coal-containing rocks having ash content of up to 90% to 95% or organic materials with moisture content of up to 60% to 80% may be transformed into gas in the super-diabatic mode with high-energy efficiency.
• Relative simplicity and inexpensive cost. The gasificator is a pit furnace.
• Process is environmentally sound: complete combustion, absence of soot, carcinogens and other toxic substances, absence of dust in smoke gases, etc.
• Relative simplicity of preparing raw materials. The fine crushing and grinding stage is absent.

• ash-rich coals, coal-containing rocks, resulting during shaft sinking and quarry stripping, coal-cleaning, cinder and ash residual at power stations, boilers, etc. Variants of technologies are possible, producing ash after the gasificator, possessing cementing properties (for example, cement, grade 200);
• old tires, wastes from tire-making and rubber industries, resulting in production, besides oligomer power, of zinc oxide and metal;
• wastes of oil-producing industry and refineries including earth and stones spilled with oil, resulting in return of a part of the hydrocarbons;
• industrial oils, not subject to regeneration;
• garbage, hospital and specific industrial wastes, containing substantial quantities of organic compounds (including toxic ones).

The periodic or permanent process can be implemented both in a stationary and a movable option.
