Biomass Pyrolysis System
The Biomass Pyrolysis Reactor is a high-performance thermal processing system designed to decompose organic feedstocks in the absence of oxygen, yielding biochar, bio-oil, and syngas. Operating at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 1100°C, this sustainable technology offers a versatile platform for renewable energy generation, waste-to-energy conversion, and carbon-negative innovations.Â
At the core of the system lies a sealed, oxygen-free chamber where biomass such as agricultural waste, wood chips, husk, algae, or municipal solid waste is thermochemically broken down. Depending on the heating rate and residence time, the system supports slow, fast, or flash pyrolysis, each tailored to specific product outcomes.Â
Advanced Options for Research & Industrial Use
Ants’ pyrolysis systems are available in lab-scale and pilot-scale models, with optional modules includingÂ
- Gas analysis systems for syngas composition studiesÂ
- Automated feedstock feedersÂ
