Nettenergy produces ultra dry pyrolysis oil
January 2018
As a result of its ongoing internal PyroRefinery R&D program a pyrolysis oil upgrading installation has been constructed. It allows the removal of all the water from the wet or dry pyrolysis oil. This leads to a high viscous oil, solid at room temperature. The removed water fraction is high in concentration of light organic substanbces such as acetic acid, acetol. As can be seen from below picture the ultra dry pyrolysis oil becomes brittle at temperatures below 10C.
