Pyrolysis Platform

SRC is commissioning a one tonne/day pyrolysis unit based on Advanced Biorefinery (ABRI-Tech Inc.) technology. The mobile pyrolysis unit will be operated within the laboratory, but may also be transported to the feedstock location for remote processing. The capability for remote processing will allow assessment of pyrolysis as an energy densification technology.  In doing so, it will create pyrolysis products that can be transported to central locations for processing into fuels, fertilizers and chemicals at larger economies of scale.
 

The pyrolysis unit is staffed by SRC research employees and is available to assist clients with:

• processing various biomass feedstocks including agricultural and wood residues;
• assessing the impact of process performance on product characteristics;
• assessing the potential for remote pyrolysis for energy densification; and
• capturing bio-oils and bio-char for further assessment and characterization as saleable products or as direct inputs to create other high value fuel, fertilizer, and chemical products

The pyrolysis unit may be utilized to produce scalable bio-oil and bio-char samples that may be used for developing new products by the syngas and pyrolysis oil utilization team and the biological processing team at SRC.
