Thermal depolymerization

  • Thermal depolymerization is an alternative waste disposal method based on low-temperature closed depolymerization with high efficiency of conversion of carbon waste to the final product (pyrolysis oil, syngas, or carbon black and metal).
  • Thermal depolymerization is one of the few alternatives for the environmentally and economically viable disposal of carbon loads such as plastics or tyres.
  • Thermal depolymerization supports the circular economy by transforming environmental burdens into usable products and energy.

Pirotex technology

The Pirotex and Pirotex NG technologies offered by Technokomplex Czech are successfully proven devices. The production of the equipment takes place at Technokomplex, according to the design of experienced chemical and mechanical engineers.

Currently, two basic series are offered:

  • The optimized Pirotex JDP70 PM cocktail system, which is versatile and can handle even uncrushed material up to 10 tons per day.
  • The highly efficient Pirotex NG series of continuous systems, which further increase depolymerisation efficiency with reduced operator effort and a processing capacity range of 7 to 48 tonnes of crushed material per day.

The systems are manufactured in Hungary and the Czech Republic - they are certified for operation in the European Union and have the necessary CE certificates.

Installation and operation is provided by technicians localized in the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Pirotex technology is highly cost-effective, achieving high efficiency without the supply of an external heat source and any additives - up to 1 litre of pyrolysis oil or equivalent amount of gas (applicable for plastic waste) can be produced from 1 kg of plastic.

The following are some technical parameters of the Pirotex JDP70 and NG series devices.

Areas of application

  • Depolymerization technology is mainly used for the disposal of plastic waste and tyres. Another major area is the disposal of environmental waste (oil and coal sludge, contaminated soil, etc.) and other carbon waste (used oil, used carbon filters, etc.) .
  • The main output is usually pyrolysis oil or pyrolysis gas (syngas - an alternative gas mixture to natural gas). Other important outputs (e.g. from tyre processing) are carbon black and metal.
  • Typical uses are the sale of pyrolysis oil back to the petrochemical industry, its activation into motor fuel (gasoline, diesel, fuel oil), its direct use for heating or in slow-speed engines (marine engines and motor generators for electricity generation).
  • An alternative is the use of gas (syngas) for energy purposes or as a source for hydrogen separation.
