Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis is the cornerstone of Ultra Green’s waste to energy capability, providing us with a valuable tool to allow our clients to regain value from their waste in the form of electricity and heat.

Pyrolysis is a technology whereby material is heated in the absence of oxygen to produce a useful syngas consisting of methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide.  As the material is heated in the absence of oxygen, traditional contaminants such as Nitrogen Dioxides, Sulphur Dioxides and dioxins are not produced as the required oxygen molecules are not available.
