EPIRC Computer Controlled Pyrolysis Unit

The Computer Controlled Pyrolysis Unit, "EPIRC", has been designed by EDIBON to study the pyrolysis process by the chemical decomposition of organic matter and multiple materials, with different temperature ramp rates.

It consists of two main parts: a pyrolysis chamber and an afterburner chamber of the flue gases produced in the pyrolysis process (smoke purification). The pyrolysis chamber is heated by a heating element while the afterburner chamber of the smoke is equipped with a gas burner.

The furnace enables the pyrolysis of a wide range of raw materials, such as wood or plastics, by varying the operating temperature and the heating speed in the process. A gas analyzer is supplied to test the effect of the operating conditions.

Temperature sensors and temperature control are included in both chambers as well as different safety measures to ensure safe handling, such as open door switch or internal safety mist system in the event of flame production.

This unit can be operated manually through the PLC of the installation itself, or from the Computer Control System (SCADA) designed by EDIBON, which enables operating conditions to be adjusted and data to be acquired and processed.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
