| Technology Brief |
The Empyro plant utilizes the BTG-BtL pyrolysis process in which the rotating cone reactor is integrated in a circulating sand system composed of a riser, a fluidized bed char combustor, the pyrolysis reactor, and a down-comer. In this concept, char is burned with air to provide the heat required for the pyrolysis process. Oil is the main product; non-condensable pyrolysis gases are combusted and are used to generate additional steam and power. Excess heat is used for drying the feedstock.
