What fuels can be used?
A greater fuel diversity leads to flexibility and sustainability.
The Stein Pyrolysis Unit can use a variety of fuels.
The fuel supply does not need to be homogeneous. It has to be shredded to a size less than 15mm, so that the fuel can be fed into the system with almost no oxygen in it.
The process can also take fuels with a high moisture content. Greater efficiency is obtained by reducing the moisture content to between 5-10%, through utilizing waste heat generated by the Pyrolysis Unit.
