Pyrolysis
The Innovation of our Energy Future
About Ecoproject




Ecoproject is an engineering company
boasting an extensive experience in the field
of alternative energy sources.
Over the past five years the company has
developed and implemented a technology for
the energy recovery of RDF.
Over these years we collaborated with a
number of international companies and
academic institutions.
At present, an industrial scale installation of our
technology is being certified by TÜV.
RDF Pyrolysis
RDF Pyrolysis
An RDF Pyrolysis plant comprises the following modules:
• Feedstock preparation and feeding into the reactor
• Pyrolysis Reactor
• Module for purification of the resulting gas
• Module for fuel storage
• Module for energy generation
• Computer-aided process control (SCADA)

Energy and Environment
Pyrolysis either solves or minimises:
Dependence on fossil fuels
 The problem of disposal of solid waste
 CO2 emissions
 Waste treatment combined with energy
production (fossil fuel savings)
 Soil conservation by reducing percentage of
waste going to landfill
 Groundwater conservation
 Reducing air emissions (GHGs, POPs).
