PYROLYSIS-OXIDATION<br />

What is a pyrolysis-oxidation<br />

system?<br />

This technology causes organic solids and<br />

liquids to vaporize, leaving behind an inert ash<br />

including inorganic material such as glass and<br />

metal fragments. Vapors are drawn by an<br />

induced draft fan from the pyrolysis chamber<br />

into a two-stage oxidation chamber operating<br />

at high temperatures. Controlled amounts of<br />

oxygen are added in the oxidation chamber to<br />

complete the combustion process.<br />

How does a dry heating system work?<br />
