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
