The slow pyrolysis process requires
extensive use of diesel fuel for heat generation. During operation
in 1st and 2nd hours, no further diesel is required, as the heat production
is supported by the syngas obtained as a byproduct from
the pyrolysis process. The syngas produced during slow pyrolysis is
utilized to generate additional heat for drying and slow pyrolysis.
Excess energy is dissipated through a chimney. The daily production
for one batch is 20 t of EFB, including drying and pyrolysis.
