Pyrolysis Kiln
Equipment
The Pyrolysis Kiln is used to break down organic substances by subjecting them to temperatures above their decomposition level in a relatively inert atmosphere.
This enables the investigation and development of pyrolysis options for a wide range of organic waste feedstocks, including bio-fuels, at small batch scale.
Equipment
The Pyrolysis Kiln is capable of processing materials at batch scale or continuous operation. It is fuelled by natural gas with the ability to recycle syngas generated in process (CO + H2). The kiln has with a capacity to accept feedstock input of between 3mm to 20mm in size at a rate ranging from 50kg per hour, and typically used to generate fuel oils and bio-chars.
Applications and Capability
- Used to produce bio-chars, fuel oils and other residues from various feedstocks
- Produces oils and hydrocarbon gases as bi-products
- Quick response and small-scale pyrolysis
- Feed rate of 50kg per hour
- Temperature range up to 600°C
Key Features
- Specialist capability for investigation and development of pyrolysis options for a wide range of organic waste feedstocks, including bio-fuels, at small batch scale
- Surplus syngas is recycled internally to provide energy to support the process
- Operating feed rate of max 50kg per hour
- Burner 150kW in natural gas mode, 30kW in holding mode
Options
This Pyrolysis Kiln can be used in conjunction with the Institute’s other pyrometallurgical facilities to determine the most appropriate material recovery rates, and is supported by the Institute’s extensive range of analytical and characterisation facilities.
