For a better future
WillPower has developed Pyroboiler, a closed-cycle biomass cogenerator that overcomes certain technical limits common amongst similar technology, focusing on application to reduce volumes of water treatment sludge.
The system
Pyroboiler
The system is small and can be housed in a standard 20″ container.
The process makes it possible to obtain a material, equivalent to carbon, which occupies a volume up to almost seven times less than the sludge introduced into the system.The majority of the energy required is self-generated during the extraction of the gaseous fraction from the organic content of the sludge.
The benefits
The benefits of Pyroboiler are clear:
- the small size of the technology means it can be placed on-site where biomass waste is generated or collected
- the majority of energy required for the conversion process is self-generated
- the system makes it possible to reduce mass by up to 85%
- the conversion process eliminates odour problems, preventing dispersion of the wet fraction that is evaporated.
Pyroboyler represents the virtuous
implementation of circular economics.
