Pyrum’s third reactor at the Dillingen factory has been successfully scaled up. This means that the reactor technology that GreenTech Recycling will build in our factory in Sweden is safe.
GreenTech Recycling has, under our agreement with Pyrum, received the descriptions and documents that we need in the pre-projection of copies at the Dillingen factory.
In the now ongoing project with Pyrum’s technical consulting staff, GTR gets access to instructions and the information we need for our own construction and commissioning.
Here is the press release from Pyrum Innovations AG:
First warm-up of line 3 starts at the main plant in Dillingen
- Successful start of hot commissioning of reactor 3
- First production run scheduled to start next week
- Throughput to be brought up to 75 to 80% quickly
Pyrum Innovations AG (“Pyrum”, the “Company”, ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) is commissioning the third and thus last thermolysis reactor (TAD 3) at its main plant in Dillingen/Saar.
Yesterday, following the positive commissioning process of TAD 2, the third reactor was heated up for the first time. This involved heating the new reactor to a temperature of around 650°C for the first time. The findings from the previous commissioning of TAD 2 were transferred in full to TAD 3. In recent weeks, additional minor adjustments have been made on this basis, which have contributed to a smooth start of the new reactor. After the reactor has cooled down and final preparatory work has been completed this weekend, the first warm-up run with the production of thermolysis oil and rCB is scheduled for next week. The aim is to ramp up the throughput of TAD 3 to 75 to 80% of the target output within a few commissioning runs. Within the next six to twelve months, TAD 2 and TAD 3 are then to be successively ramped up to full capacity utilisation of 100%. Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “We are proud that we will soon be able to utilise the full potential of our thermolysis technology. Thanks to the findings from the commissioning of TAD 2, we were able to make minor optimisations before the start of TAD 3, which led to a smooth first warm-up of TAD 3. With the first hot run of the last reactor, we are now on the home stretch of our site expansion at our main plant in Dillingen.” In addition, the final commissioning of the power generation of the produced thermolysis gas is scheduled for the next few weeks. Adjustments and fine-tuning are currently still being carried out.
