Pyrolysis Units

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 and clean water, which have a use in agricultural or industrial purposes. 

IQ Energy can also produce a hybrid style auto-thermal pyrolysis unit which we would be happy to discuss with you further.

Pyrolysis- Inputs & Outputs

Waste Input

Mixed Residual Wastes/Plastics

Tyre Waste

Wood Waste/Forestry Slash

Agriculture Wastes

Biosolids/Sewage Sludge

Legacy Wastes

Mixed/Contaminated Organics

Other Wastes, e.g. Medical Waste

Dried Waste (~15-20%MC)

Pyrolysis Unit
Gasification Unit Output

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), can be used for:

- Power Generation
- Onsite or Offsite Use, e.g. natural gas replacement
- Advanced Recycling -condensing it to an oil if the target is plastic

Biochar or Char/Ash
- Valuable for Carbon Sequestration
- Use within Agricultural/Industry

Hot Water/Steam
- Recovered Water for Industrial/Agriculture Use

Additional Benefit Examples: Carbon Credit Generation, Offset High Disposal/Trucking Costs, Offset Emissions and other additional benefits we can discuss.
