[Terrapreta] 200 tons per day Dynamotive plant in Missouri

[Tom Miles]

Sean,

 

Another point to remember is that the process can be tilted.  You can "burn
out" the char by converting more of it to oil or gas depending on the
moisture in the fuel and the temperature of the reactor. In the absence of
char markets most processes plan to use the char as fuel to generate heat
for drying the fuel or for reheating the media  - sand, rocks, etc. - used
to heat and pyrolyze the fuel.

Hi Gerrit,

 

Well that's impressive.  I did not think "fast-pyrolysis" was capable of
such a high yield in charcoal.  My reading on this has lead me to believe
that it produced large gas and liquid fractions, but little or no charcoal.
Apparently that is wrong?

 

Regards,

Here at Dynamotive's plant in West Lorne, they get about 18% yield of char.
