A technology to meet our future needs

Below are some basic principles about the Stein pyrolysis process and why it truly represents an answer for the future.

  • Stein pyrolysis is a pure pyrolosis process. As there is no oxygen present, nothing burns and no dioxins are created.
  • As there is no oxygen involved in the process, materials remain in their elemental form, which means chlorine cannot be converted into a dioxin, for example. Without oxygen, dioxins cannot be generated.
  • There is no gas dilution, which means that you can start with the highest calorific value gas and can achieve the cleanest possible gas pyrolosis. This makes running an engine easier as it does not need to be adjusted or require special parts. No gas dilution.
  • As no pollutants are generated, there is no need to spend time, effort and energy in dealing with them or mitigating their impacts.
  • Char, a by-product of the process, is basically charcoal (carbon and ash), a clean-burning material, which is why people use it for BBQs.
  • 100% of the gas is available for the engine, which improves its efficiency.
  • The only by-product of the process is vitrified slag, a non-leaching and inert material that is usable by the construction industry as an aggregate.
