Pyrolysis involves the heating at high temperature of materials (between 600 and 900°C in the thermal oxidiser, from 500 to 850°C in the reactor) in an atmosphere that is deprived of oxygen. Under these conditions, the under process does not combust, but instead undergoes a chemical decomposition producing gasses and a solid material known as char. This process captures carbon and does not release CO2, which gives the possibility to create value for a second time.
The pyrolysis of waste allows you to recover on the one hand, a gas or a liquid with a high energy content, and on the other hand, a solid residue (similar to coal) which can, depending upon the materials being processed, be reintegrated in the production cycle.
It is a circular and ecological solution to manage waste that is not recyclable and therefore not currently recycled.
