High-Temperature Slow Biomass Pyrolysis

In the pyrolysis oven, dried biomass is heated to 650°C in an oxygen-free atmosphere. The process takes 20 minutes and eliminates harmful pollutants such as microplastics, medical residues, PFAS, and PAH. The decomposing of organic compounds releases pyrolysis gas, which is combusted in the gasburner. The produced thermal energy is used for both the drying and the pyrolysis. The solid residue formed, biochar, consists of inorganic carbon and mineral ash.
