PyroPure^® is designed for mixed waste. If you intend to use it only for one specific waste type please consult PyroPure Ltd or your distributor first.

Performance

Cycle time, energy and water usage are adjusted automatically according to characteristics of the waste load. Generalised figures for typical wastes are as follows:

Tests underway to refine these figures

Energy Recovery

Energy in the form of heated water is available for recovery from the PyroPure process. Depending on waste load and cycle time the potential energy reclaim is 6kWh to 11.5kWh.

Emissions

The unit is not an incinerator (EA ruling January 2010) but is designed to meet the European Waste Incineration Directive Emission Limit Values for air (in mg/Nm3) and water (in mg/litre) for municipal and clinical waste mixtures, with the exception of suspended solids (ash) which are not retained but are flushed into the sewer. Discharges to sewer are governed by water authority consent limits.
