Pyrolysis Systems

The IQ Pyrolysis process is a safe and controlled oxygen free process to produce a high quality renewable natural gas (RNG) from waste feedstocks. These gases can then be used for energy production, through onsite gas fuelled CHP power generator systems, other existing NG type infrastructure and facilities, such as NG delivery and distribution pipelines and existing NG power generation plants. The other option with dirty and mixed plastics is an advanced recycling pathway and condensing the gas down to an oil to be used for plastic production. These processes result in a cool, clean flue gas with negligible emissions and a very efficient extraction of useful resources from the waste. The IQ Pyrolyser also produces other safe and clean resources, such as biochar or a char/ash depending on the feedstock and clean water, which all have a use in agricultural or industrial purposes.

Unit Examples

Commercial Pyrolysis Unit (HTP1000) – Alberta

The first modular pyrolysis (HTP1000) unit is currently being manufactured in Canada. This unit can convert biomass or mixed waste into syngas or oil.
