Principles of the Condensing Retort
  • Batch process (2 x 5 m3 retorts processed simultaneously)
  • Vapour combustion and stored energy sustain the process
  • Combined direct and indirect heating boost capacity, and enable controlled process temperature
  • Fixed bed, controlled moving reaction front
  • Bio-oil condensation inside retort:
    • secondary carbonisation of condensate increases yield
    • secondary carbonisation of condensate reduces ash content
    • surplus liquid bio-oil

Results:

  • Increased production capacity
  • Suitability for many feed materials (from nut shells to lump wood)
  • Increased yield (process efficiency)
  • Controlled and increased product quality
  • By-product (bio-oil)
  • No harmful emissions (proper combustion of product gas)
