Incineration fully converts the input waste into energy and ash. Under controlled conditions conversion could be deliberately limited so that combustion does not take place directly. Waste is converted into valuable intermediates that can be further processed for materials recycling or energy recovery
During gasification thermal decomposition of organic materials takes place in the presence of such a controlled limited supply of oxygen is performed that it does not lead to combustion of the treated compounds. Main target for gasification is to convert organic compounds into a syngas can be used in conjunction with gas engines/turbines. Conventional incineration used in conjunction with steam- boilers and turbine generators, achieves lower efficiency.
Pyrolysis is the decomposition of organic materials during heating in oxygen-free atmosphere to produce gas, liquid and solid residuals. Decomposition products of the pyrolysis depend upon the heat, pressure and time the material is held within the vessel.
The pyrolysis technology does offer the scope for increasing recycling rates reach higher profitability, to address environmental concerns, and to achieve government targets.
Increased possibility for recycling: a) Incineration: the only practical product is energy; b) Pyrolysis: gases, oil and carbonized materials. Gas and liquid phases can further be used as a combustion fuel while carbon black can used in different industries.
Emissions from pyrolysis are considerably lower: most of the materials are recovered. Very little escapes into the environment. By displacing fossil-fuels, waste pyrolysis can help meet renewable energy targets, address concerns about global warming and contribute to achieving Kyoto Protocol commitments
Pyrolysis systems could be developed for a wide range of capacities and a very wide range of wastes, recovering materials and energy from residues left from materials recycling, e.g. electrical and electronic scrap, tyres, mixed plastic waste and packaging residues;
Pyrolysis is the process that is relatively insensitive to its input material: It can accept unsorted MSW (Municipal Solid Waste), dioxins and contaminated soils.
Pyrolysis technology is simultaneously old and new one. Main drivers for the pyrolysis technology always were to avoid incineration and landfilling. High oil and energy prices should further trigger pyrolysis technology implementation on a broad industrial scale.
Pyrolysis waste processing is a non combustion heat treatment that
chemically decomposes wastes by applying heat (directly or indirectly)
to the wastes in an oxygen free environment.
The developed efficient pyrolysis system can be flexibly utilized for
processing high polymer waste, old tyres, organic and medical waste and
direct oil producing. Approximately 42-44% of oil can be recovered when
processed wasted scrap tyres through the pyrolysis; this amount is
almost doubled in the case of waste plastics pyrolysis. Single pyrolysis
unit combines optimal construction with the safety of equipment.
Direct contact with deoxidized hot thermal gas (carrier gas) is employed
to derive oil content gas, to cool it in a condenser, and to collect the
condensate as oil. Non-condensable hydrocarbon gas is to be used as a
thermal source gas for pyrolyser
The industrial implementation of this pyrolysis
technology has begun in 1988, when first
facility for disposal of waste tyres and
plastics was put into operation. The pyrolysis
system is designed and manufactured for batch
and continuous operations.
Comparing with the conventional pyrolysis systems the construction costs
of the pyrolysis system under consideration could be decreased up to
30-50%, costs of running and installation area up to 20%. Just 2
operators per shift are required to run this pyrolysis facility. The quality
recovered oil is used as fuel for burners and diesel generators, heating
oil, additive for biodiesel.
Batch pyrolysis systems have volume from just 1 m3 and up to 50 m3.
Batch pyrolysis units with
the capacities up to 6-8 t/d can be easily operated by factories,
communities and farmers themselves
Single continuous pyrolysis units (1 t/d -50 t/d) can be combined to
increase the total capacity of a processing facility.
Continuous pyrolysis system combines power and flexibility. Enhanced
system functionality enables users to select the usage either for oil
producing or carbonization or dry processing as users choice.
Mobile pyrolysis installation design is possible as well.

Summary: efficient patented pyrolysis system; simple, economical and safe in operation
Incineration fully converts the input waste into energy and ash. Under controlled conditions conversion could be deliberately limited so that combustion does not take place directly. Waste is converted into valuable intermediates that can be further processed for materials recycling or energy recovery









Carbon black is a valuable product from the pyrolysis process; this product is required in large amounts to be used as essential ingredient in tyres and other mechanical rubber goods, as a pigment in printing inks, paints and plastics, etc.
Tyres | Plastics | Medical waste | MSW | Biomass | E-waste | Soil remedation
The industrial equipment recycles asbestos to the harmless materials, which can be easily utilized in different ways, e.g. in building industry, as additives to asphalt, etc.
Standard capacities of the installations: 10-20 t/d. Other capacities are also possible.
Fully automatic batch biodiesel production facility: no human intervention is required during the process. The final product corresponds to EU requirements. Waste cooking oil is used as the raw material.
Compact size: max dimensions ~ 2.5 m x 1.5 m x2m. Load: 50-500 liters; power consumption 6 -25 kWh
Recycling of used motor oil
collected from engines and
containing particles, soot,
dirt, water, etc. Th
e
same units can be used to
recover the coolants.
Process temperature does not exceed engine working temperature: all additives remain their properties.

Compact batch units (50 -300
l), max dimensions ~ 2m x3m
x2m, batch time 8 hours,
power consumption 0.4-0.8
kWh
Continuous units, capacities 10-20 t/d,
max layout of the installation 4.5 m x 8.5 m x 5m
Parameters of the discharged water do not exceed daily requirement on maximum biochemical oxygen demand: BOD < 60 mg/L (state of California requirements on Industrial Waste Treatment Plants)
Solid product of the pyrolysis process can also be converted to high grade activated carbon. The reactivating process performance is depending on the steam usage and temperature, therefore no detrimental materials are included in the activated carbon product
Heavy metals such as zinc contained in the material are completely removed. The material is processed in the reactivation furnace. Process atmosphere and high temperature (ca 1100 C) lead to sublimation, therefore the zinc material is totally removed.
Since the production cost for activated carbon is mostly determined by fuel costs, the system was designed for efficient heat recovery to minimize the fuel costs
