Patented HERTOS© Pyrolysis Technologies
Is designed and developed from our engineering group.
We are highly specialized in decomposition of organic and inorganic materials as
part of a rapid and continuous pyrolysis process. Finally, the refining research
and technology for pyrolysis by products is also part of the smaller, modular
high performance systems rather than larger rigid complex designs.
Our mission is to
roll out the now proven technology that has operated for several years with
processing tires, plastic as well as other waste streams into profitable
products.

pyrolysis process works while our competitive advantage which is our simplicity
and reliability. In today’s hi-tech economy complexity is the norm; however in
evaluating many Pyrolysis systems and similar systems that have failed our
design team has concluded that our focus MUST BE based on simplicity and
reliability using modular technology depending on a fast execution
avoiding massive engineering studies and projects. Simple modular design where
each component has been tested a uniquely specified as integrated system
components which will be described.
The particular
project will include the individual components, specifications, details of the
sources and type of the waste stream. The plant layout and the methodology to
be followed by the direct operation areas and the support functions
illustrating how the system is synchronized to cue up and flow the materials
through the Pyrolysis function. Next, the power generation, distilling and sales
functions are described and applied to a timeline view of the project with an
associated sources and uses of funds.
The scale up plan
for the facilities after the Bulgaria plant will provide the logic and
methodology for adding multiple plants. This is a well thought time line that
is a separate yet crucial scale up model for the related supply chain
management that is required to rapidly scale up the component manufacturing
required building pyrolysis systems.
Finally, the
operating company and the scale up of other facilities is discussed along with
the capital structure and ownership structure.
HERTOS©
pyrolysis plants are designed to be very versatile with the capability to
recycle various carbon containing waste:
This way we are
not constrained by any shortages in a particular waste stream.
Our system is
specifically designed with simple yet very demanding metallurgical tolerances to
insure maximum uptime and maximum cash flow.
Pyrolysis (from
Greek. pyr - fire, heat and lysis - decomposition) is a thermal decomposition of
the organic compounds in the absence of oxygen.
The simple
summary of the process
Raw material (waste) is loaded inside the
container of heat-resistant material (retort). The retort is placed into the
oven vessel. Raw material is heated by the heat transfer through the retort
walls and the Pyrolysis process commences thermally decomposing the raw material
forming a mixture of steam and gas and carbon residue. Steam gas mixture goes
out of the retort through the pipeline, cooled, then it comes to the storage
tank and then to the condensers where the gases are separated from the liquid.
The liquid is collected in a storage tank; gas, partially or wholly is used to
support the pyrolysis process, or burned to produce electric or used to heat
greenhouses, offices and so on. At the end of the pyrolysis process the retort
with carbon black must be unloaded from the oven and the other retort with raw
material is placed into it.
Depending on the
type of raw material used the fluctuations in the volumes of products received
are possible.

Short
Processing Overview
The most effectively is to operate two and more
pyrolysis ovens together with using of the abundant gas of the first oven to
heat the second one. At each period of time the ovens are at different stages of
the process. The shift of the process phase between two ovens is chosen in such
a way that the second oven passes the stage of maximum gassing at the time when
the first oven has the greatest need in fuel. Thus there is no need in the
additional solid-fuel, the emissions into the atmosphere are significantly
reduced (gaseous fuel gives significantly fewer emissions per unit of energy and
almost no soot particles); there is no need in gasholder for temporary storage
of a gas.
The optimal
temperature area of our patented technological process is 350-400 °C; the
following products are obtained (used tires pyrolysis):
