Allgie Biotech has patented a low-cost, high-capacity PYROLYSIS OVEN.
Pyrolysis is the thermo-chemical process of heating a material, such as biomass, in the absence of oxygen. Biomass pyrolysis is typically carried out between 350 and 500 °C (662 and 1,022 °F), which provides enough heat to deconstruct the biopolymers.
Allgie's patent uses a marine container adapted to process waste of any type, allowing the extraction of all vapors from the waste. The vapors are converted into liquid fertilizer for microalgae and the residues into biochar.
The biochar is burned to provide heat to the pyrolysis oven and the CO2 produced during burning is collected to feed the microalgae.
No CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
The cost of the initial pyrolysis oven is 1/10 of the cost of the same capacity pyrolysis oven currently on the market.
It was conceived and designed to process urban waste WITHOUT manual SEPARATION of recyclables and contain odors.
The maritime container also used as a means of transporting waste reduces shipping and handling costs as it is an already-known technology and does not require any adaptation or special equipment other than those already used and known.
