Frontline - Model JF -Pyrolysis System
JF Pyrolysis System converts waste into products.
STRAIGHT FORWARD PROCESS
A simple, continuous process where multiple augers transport the feedstock through a reactor and exit it as biofuels, after a heating and decomposition process.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
The system uses its own energy to power itself and to dry the feedstock, thus making tremendous savings in energy requirements. No fossil fuels are therefore required beyond ignition.
MODULAR & SMALL FOOTPRINT
The reactor has a modular design: plant capacity can be increased by adding modules, or decreased by subtracting augers from the reactor. The reactor modules are stackable, which grants great space savings.
EASY TO INSTALL & RUN
The system is set up in 3 days and is designed for one person operation. Operation is easy and straightforward.
COST EFFICIENT
Low capex thanks to design simplicity and modularity, as well as space savings. Low opex thanks to the system`s self-fueling capacity and the possibility to keep operations during maintenance.
BIOCHAR
One of the system`s products is a stable, homogeneous and superior charcoal with a high energy value, comparable to bituminous coal but considered carbon-neutral. It has nearly no chlorine; is water resistant and grindable, providing significant advantages in storing and transporting.
BIO-OIL
A dense fluid with lower energy value than fossil fuels, but carbon-neutral and with less emissions when combusted. Bio-oil is more efficient when transformed into green electricity, than as transportation fuel.
SYNTHETIC GAS
Synthetic gas or syngas is a mixture of non-condensable gases mainly used for zero-carbon energy generation.
Second-Generation Biofuels, like charcoal, bio-oil and syngas, are advanced biofuels made from non-food biomass. They are more sustainable than First-Generation Biofuels because they don`t displace food-crops. However, if the biomass used for the biofuels still needs to be grown, it may be taking land and water resources away from food production.
By using residual biomass and waste products, FW`s biofuels may be considered Third-Generation Biofuels since its biomass doesn`t require neither land nor fresh water.
The JF System accepts most types of residual biomass feedstock, including agricultural products and water plants. It accepts municipal solid waste (MSW), plastics, and with additional equipment, it also accepts tires and textiles.
- Main equipment: screw reactor
- Special features: continuous feeding; low operating temperature; self-fueling
- Products: biochar, bio-oil and syngas
- Treatment capacity: 20 to 120 tonnes of dry ash-free feedstock per day
- Emissions control: no combustion, hence no dioxins and no ultrafine particles emission.
- Dimensions L x W x H: 20’ x 8` x 7’/ 6m x 2.4m x 2.1m
This is a scalable system with portable units suitable for on-site processing, as well as for stationary plants, with a 3-day setup time for new locations.
The system fits in two shipping containers and is suitable for international freight. A 40` container transports the reactor and a standard 20` one, the ancillary equipment.
For land transport, the reactor is best carried on a double drop trailer - provided by FW - to ease loading and unloading.
