Sulzer PyroCon™ Technology for Advanced Recycling
Enhanced Reaction Control and Minimize Fouling for Biomass Processing and Plastics Pyrolysis
Chemical recycling is becoming a crucial solution for transforming waste into high-quality products from biofuels to polymers, even when dealing with contaminated materials. Pyrolysis, the thermal breakdown of materials in the absence of oxygen, plays a key role in this process. A critical factor in optimizing pyrolysis is the rapid cooling or rapid condensation of the products to halt further reactions while preventing issues like fouling and solids formation. Sulzer’s proven PyroCon™ technology addresses these challenges, paving the way for the future of circular solutions.
- Field-Proven Performance: Successful applications range from pilot projects to commercial-scale installations.
- Flexible Setup: Can be configured for single-stage or multi-stage processes to separate products like waxes.
- Process Guarantees: Offers assurance on process performance.
Sulzer PyroCon™ technology delivers a reliable and efficient approach to plastic and biomass chemical recycling, enabling the industry to tackle waste and move toward a more sustainable future.
Applications
- Pyrolysis of Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP): Ideal for processing plastic waste rich in PE and PP.
- Polystyrene (PS) Pyrolysis: Suitable for converting PS waste.
- Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) Pyrolysis: Efficiently handles PMMA materials.
- Biowaste: Adequate for biomass processing.
- Aromatic Quenching: Effective for cooling aromatics from catalytic processes.
