Fast pyrolysis is a process that typically takes a few seconds to a few minutes.
This rapid thermal decomposition of biomass occurs at high temperatures, ranging from 450 to 550 °C.
Heating rates during fast pyrolysis are between 500 to 1000 °C/s.
The residence time of the biomass in the pyrolysis process is up to 5 seconds.
The process is designed to maximize the yield of bio-fuels.
Up to 80% of the dry feed can be converted into bio-fuels.
The primary bio-fuels produced are liquids (65%) and non-condensable gases (10%).
4 Key Steps in the Fast Pyrolysis Process
1. High Heating Rates
Biomass is rapidly heated to the pyrolysis temperature.
This is crucial for achieving the desired product yields.
High heating rates ensure that the biomass is quickly brought to the necessary temperature for pyrolysis to occur.
2. Short Residence Time
The biomass spends very little time at the pyrolysis temperature.
Typically, this is less than one second.
This short exposure time is essential to prevent excessive degradation of the bio-oil.
It also optimizes the production of condensable vapors.
3. Rapid Cooling
After pyrolysis, the products are rapidly cooled.
This step is critical for preserving the quality and quantity of the bio-oil produced.
4. Twin-Screw Mixing Reactor
The use of a twin-screw mixing reactor, as described in the FPP 02 Fast pyrolysis plant, demonstrates how modern technology can facilitate this rapid and controlled thermal decomposition.
This ensures high yields of bio-fuels.
