ULTRAHIGH TEMPERATURE
GASIFICATION
 Ultrahigh temperature gasification
is the destructive distillation of an
organic material.
 This distillation process involves
the application of intense, indirect
thermal energy in the absence of
oxygen which reduces the material
to combustible gases and a nonhazardous, non-leachable
inorganic.

WHY GASIFICATION
WITHOUT OXYGEN?
Principle differences
between incineration and
Pyromex thermal degradation
INCINERATION
PYROMEX HIGH TEMEPRATURE
GASIFICATION
Oxidation with O=O
Very slow reacting molecule
Thermal degradation without O=O
Very fast reaction molecule
Low temperature
Slow reaction
No risk of recombination of
dangerous elements
Great danger of recombination
of dangerous elements
(+100 times faster)

ENERGY BALANCE
If a gas engine is used to
recover the energy from the
pyrogas, the following energy
balance can be assumed:
 Electricity production with a gas engine
 Required energy for the Pyromex reactor
 Available for sale
 Furthermore, off-heat can be used with
an additional value of
1,400 kWh
600-800 kWh

ENERGY RECOVERY
Pyromex offers the following
energy recovery technologies:
 Utilization of the pyrogas for
heating purposes or industrial
applications, replacing oil and
gas
 Operation of a high temperature
afterburner with successive
steam production, steam turbine
and generator
 Operation of a gas engine
combined with a generator
 Conversion of the pyrogas to
hydrogen and production of
electricity via fuel cells
