- First production run scheduled for next week
- Throughput to be quickly increased to 75 to 80%
Dillingen /Saar, 24 May 2024 – Pyrum Innovations AG (‘Pyrum’, the ‘Company’, ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) is commissioning the third and thus final thermolysis reactor (TAD 3) at its main plant in Dillingen/Saar. Yesterday, following the positive progress of the commissioning of TAD 2, the third reactor was heated up for the first time. In the course of this, the new reactor was heated to a temperature of around 650°C for the first time.
The findings from the commissioning of TAD 2 to date have been fully applied 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 carried out this weekend, the first warm run with the production of thermolysis oil and rCB is scheduled for next week. The aim is to then also ramp up the throughput of TAD 3 to 75 to 80% of the target performance within a few start-up 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 to soon be able to exploit the full potential of our thermolysis technology. The insights gained from the commissioning of TAD 2 enabled us to make minor optimisations before the start of TAD 3, which led to a smooth first warm run of TAD 3. With the first warm start of the last reactor, we are now on the home straight of our expansion of standing orders at our main plant in Dillingen.”
In addition, the final commissioning of the power generation from the thermolysis gas produced in-house is scheduled for the next few weeks. Adjustments and fine-tuning are currently still being carried out.
