Top 6 Pyrolysis Applications

Pyrolysis allows converting clean wood biomass into biochar as a functional material (soil nutrient, bioremediation product, filtration material and many other). The possibility of changing the operating conditions in Biogreen® opens unique opportunity to produce your own functional material. In addition, produced energy from the process can be transformed into useful heat (for drying), steam (for industrial purposes) or other forms of power.

The low-temperature process of biomass torrefaction and carbonization allow obtaining high-quality calorific fuel at LHV 21 to even 29 MJ/kg, suitable for the power generation markets. Thanks to adaptable treatment conditions of the Biogreen® system, process can be carried exactly according to the required properties of the solid fuel. Small quantities of calorific gas obtained in the process can be an additional resource for drying.

Low or medium temperature pyrolysis of dry sewage sludge allows obtaining sterilized, odorless and easy to store product, that can be provided further as a renewable source of energy. Thanks to the Biogreen® adaptability of processing conditions, you can choose the degree of treatment in order not to overheat the material and keep its important fuel properties.

High-temperature pyrolysis is a process involving Biogreen® operating at temperatures of 800oC, aimed at the maximum decomposition of the sludge and generating as much as possible calorific syngas, that can be a source of energy for drying. Thanks to this type of treatment, Biogreen® can achieve high reduction rates and continuously produce energy to minimize the OPEX of your dryer.

Recovered carbon black is a material obtained from the solid product of tire pyrolysis process. Further treatment allows it to develop many useful properties that make reCB high added value product, which can be considered a filler for the rubber industry, paints and coatings, ink production, and many other industrial applications. Recycled carbon black produced in tire pyrolysis becomes increasingly popular, an environmentally friendly alternative to carbon black obtained from oil-based processes. In addition to that, Biogreen® pyrolysis allows obtaining a calorific mix of gases that can be a source of heat for your industrial processes and give extra source of income for your project.

Production of reCB (see above) can be combined with more advanced methods of using the syngas in order to generate the steam, heat, and electricity – depending on your individual demand. Continuous Biogreen® process combined with suitable auxiliary equipment can allow producing useful reCB as a functional material, steam and hot water for district heating.
