Pyrolysis (3)

During pyrolysis process, the product distribution can be optimized based on:
  • temperature
  • residence time
Fast pyrolysis: moderate temperatures (around 550 °C) and short reaction times (sec)
  • optimized bio-oil production
Slow pyrolysis: lower temperatures (400-500 °C) and longer residence time (min to hrs)
  • optimized biochar production
