Problem
Industrial, agricultural, forest, municipal and non‑recyclable plastic wastes are often landfilled or incinerated, creating greenhouse‑gas emissions and lost resource value. Existing treatment methods lack the ability to convert these heterogeneous residues into market‑ready, high‑value products while meeting environmental regulations.
Solution
Pyrovac offers an advanced pyrolysis platform that thermally decomposes organic and plastic waste streams into commercially viable outputs such as biostimulant liquids, biochar, biocarbon briquettes and pyrolytic fuels (diesel, gasoline, kerosene). The process is based on more than three decades of R&D, scaling from laboratory to pilot plants that have demonstrated conversion of almond shells, mixed plastics and forest residues. Resulting products replace fossil‑based inputs in agriculture, metallurgy and energy sectors, thereby reducing carbon footprints and creating new revenue streams for waste generators. Pyrovac works with partner companies to design, engineer, and commission turnkey pyrolysis units that comply with ISO‑14001 environmental standards.
Target Audience
Primary customers are waste‑generating industries (agriculture, forestry, municipal services, plastics manufacturers) and downstream users such as agronomists, metallurgical producers, and fuel distributors seeking sustainable, high‑value feedstocks.
Features
- High‑temperature, oxygen‑starved reactor design optimized for mixed organic and plastic feedstocks
- Integrated product fractionation system delivering liquid biostimulants (Coriphol™), solid biochar (Corichar™), and liquid fuels in a single run
- Customizable briquette formulation for biocarbon used as a low‑carbon reductant in metallurgical processes
- Scalable pilot and commercial units (e.g., 1 500 kg/h biocarbon plant) with modular engineering for rapid deployment
- Real‑time process monitoring and control software for consistent product quality and regulatory compliance
- Partnerships with industry leaders (e.g., Elkem Métal, Polynergy) to validate applications in steelmaking and municipal waste-to-fuel projects
