Pyrolysis is a process that has its own set of challenges. One of the main problems is the variability of the feedstock.
Different polymers fed into a pyrolysis reactor break along different patterns.
Molecules with high degrees of branching crack more easily than linear ones.
The weaknesses or disadvantages of biomass pyrolysis include high energy consumption, high capital cost, and the need for efficient separation and purification of the end products.
The process requires high temperatures and long residence time, resulting in high energy consumption.
The equipment and machinery needed for the process are costly and require significant investment.
Additionally, the process produces a mixed product stream that requires further separation and purification before it can be used.
This adds to the overall process cost and can be challenging and time-consuming.
The liquid bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis also needs further refining and upgrading before it can be used as a transportation fuel.
These factors make the process less cost-effective, especially for small-scale or domestic use.
Moreover, the process may not be suitable for certain types of feedstock and certain locations.
