With respect to municipal solid waste what toxic and hazardous byproducts are generated by pyrolisis. Incineration of MSW generates dioxin and the ash generally contains lead, etc. The USEPA requires testing of ash via the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) with stabilization of ash that fails and burial in a haz. waste landfill.

Currently i am attached to a pyrolysis technology which is capable of consuming 3 MT per hr. We are consuming mainly oil palm biomass mainly EFB pallets and Palm shells. The whole idea of this project is support burner fuel. from my observation and understanding … The type of bio oils produce mainly water and none water solubles. The water soluble is actually know as Wood Vinegar ( WV ) in general and this is not suitable as burner fuel. The burner quality fuels are about 5 to 8% to feed. And the rest of the liquid ( about 30% to the feed ) or WV. Please don’t get confused with the term used as Bio-fuel.. The char is about 25% but we just can’t export due to some volatile presence and we need dedicated vessels or assume they are categorized as Coal. They burn faster than charcoal which make then not so suitable as briquettes. But Char is a good feed stock for bio char ( Biochar = Char inoculate with microbes ) Due to export restrictions we must look for local use mainly to rehabilitate soil. The gas produce which is about 25% has very low calorific value ( 5k to 6kcal per kg ) . We are planing to fuel a dual fuel ICE. Even at 25% gas to feed the estimations indicating that we can generate surplus electricity. Hopefully we can share some data about the gas potentials by end of May 2020.
For those interested in Pyrolysis of biomass i strongly suggest to explore the potential use of WV as herbicides , fungicides and growth enhancer. Without this we have to dispose the WV and we are wasting our time. The burner grade fuel and the Char can be sold as fuel where the pricing can be correlated with fossil fuels by kCal to kCal.

In reply to Debojyoti Roy.

Dear Debojyoti
Thanks for the message.
Slow pyrolysis is the preferred route for production of biochar/activated carbon. Fast pyrolysis is more inclined towards production of bio oil.
Hope I have been of some help.

Best wishes

In reply to Salman Zafar. Dear Salman, We are in a process to implement a Plan on Slow Pyrolysis of Biomass (mainly agriculture waste) to produce Biochar and then activate the Biochar to produce activated carbon. Which is more commercially viable, Slow Pyrolysis or Fast Pyrolysis to produce Biochar.

Dear Nikunj
The product of the pyrolysis is bio oil or pyrolysis oil. Bio oil can be upgraded to biodiesel but such technologies are still in the development phase and very expensive.
Hope this information is of interest.

Dear Hnin
Thanks for your query
Carbon monoxide from the pyrolysis process is contributed by syngas. Carbon monoxide can be removed by catalytic oxidation or membrane separation processes.
Hope I have been of some help.

[…] Pyrolysis is rapidly developing biomass thermal conversion technology and has been garnering much attention worldwide due to its high efficiency and good eco-friendly performance characteristics. Pyrolysis technology provides an opportunity for the conversion of municipal solid wastes, agricultural residues, scrap tires, non-recyclable plastics etc into clean energy. It offers an attractive way of converting urban wastes into products which can be effectively used for the production of heat, electricity and chemicals. […]

[…] Continuous pyrolysis is the best technology for charcoal production. Continuous pyrolysis has the ability to handle large biomass volumes, the process is fast and smoke production is negligible. When using conventional pyrolysis technology (or batch carbonization), the process is lengthy, processing capacity is small and there are concerns related to harmful smoke emissions. […]
