Pyrolyzer generates energy from waste using the patented KUG gasification method. The process uses synthesis thermolysis gasification to transform waste into a very refined Synthesis Gas (SynGas).
The thermolysis method is as follows:
- Waste fuel is fed into the system via the hopper.
- To reduce the water content in the fuel it is directly and indirectly heated in the production area and dried via exhaust gases. During this process the temperature of the waste fuel is increased and the water content reduced.
- The dried material is forwarded by screw conveyors into the pyrolysis main reactor. There the thermolysis process takes place at temperatures from 400 °C to 800 °C without pressure and without oxygen.
- In a cascade of pyrolysis reactors, a combination of ascending and descending gasification processes take place. This method causes a separation of liquid and vapor reaction products allowing for separate treatment.
- The Char-carbon black mix is transported to the exit storage area in enclosed cases, is mechanically treated, weighed and then delivered to the customer.
- The produced gas then enters the gas processing area. In this area the production gas passes through several cleaning systems that have a defined temperature which leaves liquid condensate and pollutants behind and cools the gas.
- In a pressurizing stage the gas is extracted from the thermolysis process and is metered and transported to the customer or fed to gas engines for electricity production.
- The extracted liquids are buffered and either used in the smolder chamber or transformed into gas in the cracker.
