PYROLYSIS FURNACES

NUTEC Bickley Pyrolysis Furnaces are constructed with a water spray system that controls the release of gases and reduces cycle times, thereby minimizing emissions into the atmosphere.

Pyrolysis is a treatment process for organic materials that consists of breaking down the material chemically by increasing its temperature.

The organic material decomposes into volatile material (which must be burned in an incinerator) and a solid residue that, depending on the oxygen level in the furnace, can be soot or ash. Our pyrolysis furnaces have a main combustion chamber where the material (hooks, racks, fixtures, etc.) is heated in a low oxygen environment where the pyrolysis process takes place.

The gases released from this process are burned in an incinerator that operates above 800°C (1,470°F). Our furnaces have a water spray system that controls the release of gases to the incinerator and reduces cycle times, minimizing emissions into the atmosphere.
