  • APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A PYROLYSIS PRODUCT
    Publication number: 20150191655
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a pyrolysis product, the apparatus comprising a pyrolysis reactor for forming pyrolysis product fractions from raw material by fast pyrolysis, a condensing device for condensing gaseous pyrolysis product fractions to mainly liquid pyrolysis product fractions, a combustion boiler arranged in conjunction with the pyrolysis reactor for forming energy fractions, and feeding devices for feeding raw materials to the pyrolysis reactor and the combustion boiler. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a separating device arranged substantially in conjunction with the pyrolysis reactor for separating other fractions from the gaseous pyrolysis product fractions after the pyrolysis and means for conducting other fractions than the gaseous pyrolysis product fractions from the separator to the combustion boiler.
    Type: Application

  • METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT PYROLYSIS
    Publication number: 20110041388
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out pyrolysis in such manner that a first raw material is fed to a combustion boiler and a second raw material is fed to a pyrolysis reactor which are integrated together, energy fractions are formed from the raw material in the combustion boiler and gaseous and liquid product fractions are formed from the raw material in the pyrolysis reactor by fast pyrolysis.
