A proven process, built to last
Our production is based on fast pyrolysis — a well-established thermochemical conversion process that transforms dry biomass into liquid bio-oil at high efficiency. We selected the world’s best technology for each step and integrated them into a single, reliable production chain.
The production chain
Feedstock reception & conveying
Conveyer belts receive incoming wood residues — bark, chips and sawdust — from the adjacent sawmill and moves them via conveyor belts to the drying stage. Local presence means rapid service and minimal logistics.
Feedstock drying
Wood residues arrive with variable moisture content. An industrial belt dryer system reduces moisture to the precise level required for stable, high-yield pyrolysis. Consistent feedstock quality is the foundation of consistent bio-oil output.
Fast pyrolysis
A rotating cone reactor converts dried biomass at approximately 500°C in the absence of oxygen. The result is bio-oil (pyrolysis oil), biochar and non-condensable gases. This technology is proven at commercial scale at multiple plants globally.
Process automation & control
A distributed automation control system governs the entire plant — from feedstock intake to product storage. Continuous monitoring ensures stable operating conditions, rapid deviation response and full data logging for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
