The Flash Pyrolysis process involves the rapid heating of finely shredded organic materials in the absence of air using a proprietary heat exchange system. The incoming feed is heated by contact with recycled char and pyrolysed to form liquids, gas, and char.

CONT

Flash pyrolysis is a rapid heating rate process (greater than 2°C/s) occurring at moderate temperatures (typically 400-600°C) whose liquid tar/oil products are maximized at the expense of char and gas. Vapour residence times are normally less than 2s.

OBS

The term may well be a trademark of the Occidental Research Corporation.
