PyroCon™ Chemical Recycling: Transform Waste into Biofuels & Polymers
Chemical recycling is key to transforming waste into high-quality products, from biofuels to polymers. Pyrolysis plays a central role, but controlling secondary reactions and fouling is critical. Sulzer PyroCon technology ensures rapid quenching, enhanced reaction control, and minimized fouling unlocking efficient, sustainable recycling for plastics and biomass.
Higher Yield
Fast quenching avoids repolymerization and wax formation
Reduced downtime
Fouling-resistant design keeps solids from building up, minimizing maintenance.
