thermal treatment

Thermal-treatment offers the means to transform organic materials into value-added “engineered biocarbon” for various sustainable applications such as bioenergy, biofuels, biomaterials, sustainable agriculture, etc.

Omega Thermal Solutions Group offers a variety of options for thermal processing and is a leader in the innovation of future system designs.

Diagram showing the conversion of various waste types, such as wood waste, MSW, food waste, agricultural waste, manure, and sewage sludge, into biocarbon through dehydration and thermal treatment processes.

Biocarbon Flow Process

Omega developed a versatile and reliable pyrolysis system to transform organic feedstocks into engineered products for valued-added applications.

  • Patented, pyrolysis system

  • Variable processing temperature for tailored properties

  • Variable retention time

  • Oxygen-starved condition inside reactor to prevent ignition.

  • Waste Heat Recovery for onsite process

  • VOC Combustion and heat recovery

  • Pyrolyzed product cooling and transfer

  • Utilized multiple sources of thermal energy

  • Processing rate ranging from 200pph to 50,000pph feed rate
