RETRACTED: A pilot-scale biomass pyrolytic poly-generation plant performance study and self-sufficiency assessment

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Pilot-scale plant with rotary kiln for biomass pyrolytic poly-generation was used. Pyrolysis gas yield increased with increasing pyrolysis temperature (550- °C). Pyrolysis gas rich in H2, CH4, other alkanes, and olefins; LHV >17.10 MJ/m 3 .  Energy balance assessment showed 74.8% energy conversion efficiency. Surplus of pyrolysis gas increased as pyrolysis temperatures increased 550-650 °C.
