Pyrolysis gas

Pyrolysis is the process when complex molecular compounds break down into simpler ones under high temperature and without oxygen. During this process pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis resin (liquid material) are formed. When such volatile gas mixes with oxygen, burning process is started, which can be used for heating. The fuel here is wood chips and wood waste.

Modern technologies allow to have maximum benefit from vegetable raw materials. Because simple burning in furnaces inferior in energy production efficiency and does not meet ecological security requirements.

Pyrolysis gas has undeniable advantages:

• Burning takes place under high temperatures. Gas reacts with active carbon. As a result - ecologically safe burning without harmful materials.
• Amount of carbon dioxide is several times lower comparing to fire in furnace.
• Small amount of ash and soot allows to clean equipment less often.
• Pyrolysis burning is controllable and can be automatized.
• Efficiency is higher comparing to simple burning of wood material.

Special gas-piston power plants allow to transform pyrolysis gas into thermal energy. Gas-piston plants gained worldwide popularity for several reasons:

• Raw materials are available industry and household waste.
• Equipment meets modern ecological requirements.
• They maximize benefit from fuel.
• Energy intensity is low, which allows to reduce productions costs and produced energy price.
• Plant is easy to transport.
• There is no capital construction costs.
• Plant can be placed in remote locations.
• Production site can be placed near forest and source of raw materials.
• Gas-piston plant can satisfy the energy needs of mining farms.
• Plant reduces load of already-working production and makes up for the lack of energy.

Usage of pyrolysis gas with gas-piston plants solves problem of waste recycling at the same time meeting ecological requirements. Such a technology of utilization is more promising than simple burning of waste. Thermal and electrical energy production with these plants is definitely a profitable trend.

Amount of technical and household garbage grows every year. And need for uninterrupted electricity stays. Autonomy of gas-piston plants solves this task. Ease of use, economy of operating costs and safety - some of the undeniable advantages of pyrolysis gas production and usage.
