    Validating Waste-to-Energy Potential
    Through Real-World Testing

    Technotherm provides on-site laboratory and demonstration facilities that allow prospective clients to validate fuel content and optimize pyrolysis processes for a variety of waste streams. A unique whitespace in the industry that offers "trial before you commit" visibility, we enable clients to prove viability and efficiency of converting specific feedstocks into valuable outputs like diesel, naphtha, carbon black, and syngas.

    How It Works

    Comprehensive Material Analysis

    Technotherm receives varied, pre-selected plastics, and methodically analyzes energy content through precise testing. It also produces yield percentage breakdowns providing clients.

    Empirical Data Utilization

    Leveraging testing data and in-house comprehensive analytical parameters to predict gas, condensable, and non-condensable outputs.

    Mass and Energy Flow Diagrams

    Develop client-specific diagrams to track total output, share with operations planning, and better deal flow.

    Testing Options

    • Batch Pyrolysis Test:Per sample, 1-5 hour test time, suitable for preliminary material screening.
    • Continuous Pyrolysis Test:10kg sample, 24-hour test time, suitable for materials requiring in-depth testing.
    • Commercial Potential Test:Full 1000kg sample, 3-day test facility, a real-life demonstration of viability.
    • Gas Analysis:Detailed data on volume of non-condensable gases created, as well as energy content.
    • Residue Analysis:Details for carbon-char quality including semi-activated carbon classification.
    • Data Integration:Results are used to create Mass and Energy Flow Diagrams, aiding in project viability assessments.
