Pyrolysis is a process where

Organic Waste materials are thermally

decomposed at elevated temperatures

in the absence of oxygen.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INOKS PYROLYSIS

Pyrolysis process for a 1.0 MW pyrolysis plant, focusing on the pyrolysis of:

- PINE CHIPS and

- RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) wastes

Feedstock Preparation

Both pine chips and RDF wastes need to be prepared before entering the pyrolysis reactor.

Pine chips are typically obtained from wood processing industries or forestry activities,

while RDF wastes are derived from municipal solid waste streams and may contain a mixture of plastics, paper, textiles, and organic materials.

Feedstock Drying

Before entering the reactor, the feedstock, especially RDF wastes, may undergo a drying process to reduce moisture content. This step is essential to ensure efficient pyrolysis and prevent excessive energy consumption during the process.

Feeding into the Reactor: The prepared feedstock, in the form of pine chips and RDF wastes, is then fed into the pyrolysis reactor. The reactor is a sealed vessel where the pyrolysis process takes place.

INOKS Pyrolysis PLANT

Inside the reactor, the feedstock is subjected to high temperatures ranging from 300°C to 500°C in the absence of oxygen. This thermal decomposition process breaks down the organic materials into three main products:

Syngas: A mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and other light hydrocarbons, syngas is produced as a gaseous byproduct of pyrolysis. It will be used in the Biogas Plant as a fuel for CHP - Cogeneration Unit for generating heat and power.

The INOKS Pyrolysis Process

offers a sustainable solution for converting biomass and waste materials into valuable Syngas, and contributing to renewable energy production.
