Product
Problem
Industrial and agricultural operations generate significant volumes of biomass, sludge, and complex waste streams that are costly to manage and often end up in landfills or open burning, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Existing pyrolysis solutions are frequently single reactors requiring extensive pre-treatment, external fuel inputs, and substantial operator oversight, limiting their economic and environmental viability for widespread adoption.
Solution
ITER Technologies provides complete, turnkey modular pyrolysis systems that convert waste feedstocks into stable, high-purity biocarbon for long-term carbon sequestration and soil restoration. Each installation is fully customized to the client's feedstock and process requirements, integrating a multi-stage reactor operating between 500 and 750 °C under oxygen-limited conditions. The systems feature Internal Thermal Energy Recovery (ITER©), which redirects pyrolysis vapors into the combustion chamber to sustain autothermal operation for weeks without external fuel. Siemens IoT automation enables remote monitoring, process control, and data acquisition for traceability and carbon-credit verification, while the compact modular footprint allows deployment in remote, rural, or industrial environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial and agricultural operators managing biomass, sludge, or complex waste streams who seek carbon-negative processing solutions, as well as project developers pursuing verified carbon removals under standards such as Puro.earth and VERRA.
