USDA ARS researchers get tail-gas reactive pyrolysis to farm scale

May 5, 2016 |

In Pennsylvania, researchers with the USDA’s ARS Sustainable Biofuels and Coproducts Unit at the Eastern Regional Research Center in Wyndmoor have made substantial progress in developing an on-farm scale mobile pyrolysis unit to produce bio-oil from agricultural wastes that can then be used for machinery such as tractors. The “tail-gas reactive pyrolysis” or TGRP uses non-food-grade plant matter procured from agricultural or even household waste residue, including wood, switchgrass, and animal manure to make a higher quality bio-oil that is more marketable than traditional pyrolysis methods.
