Pyrum Innovations AG is commissioning the third and thus last thermolysis reactor (TAD 3) at its main plant in Dillingen/Saar. 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%. 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.
