PyroFlex™
Advanced Pyrolysis Technology
Technology and advanced pyrolysis products developed in association with Aston University’s Energy & Bioproducts Research Institute
FuturEnergy Turnkey Solution
FuturEnergy delivers fully integrated, turnkey PyroFlex pyrolysis systems within a single optimised process
The supplied system includes:
Feedstock handling and infeed equipment
PyroFlex reactor and thermal treatment package
Biochar cooling and discharge systems
Vapour & gas energy systems
Condensation, and phase separation
The turnkey solution ensures controlled, efficient conversion of a wide range of biomass feedstocks - including agricultural residues, wood, and organic materials - into stable, commercial outputs.
As the plant supplier FuturEnergy delivers a complete pyrolysis system ready for integration and operation.
Choose from two system configurations
PyroFlex Vapour
Products: Biochar + Energy
Setting a new benchmark in pyrolysis and biochar production beyond currently available technologies.
Electrically heated, not self-consuming
Conventional pyrolysis systems combust their vapour to heat the reactor. PyroFlex is electrically heated, preserving the full value of pyrolysis vapour instead of consuming it.
Maximum commercial flexibility
Captured vapour can be directed to the highest-value use for each site - including process heat, electricity generation, cooling applications, or an integrated combination - maximising overall system returns.
OR
PyroFlex Condenser
Products: Biochar + Energy + Liquids
Designed to maximise value from every stage of the pyrolysis process by intelligently separating and utilising each output stream.
Advanced vapour capture
The PyroFlex Condenser system intercepts pyrolysis vapour before energy generation, recovering valuable liquid products rather than destroying them in combustion.
Access to low-carbon markets
Recovered liquids can be used as plant growth enhancers, wood preservatives, herbicides or fungicides, and as feedstocks for industrial chemical applications.

PyroFlex Pyrolysis System Process Flow
This diagram shows the PyroFlex™ process and its two configurable product options. Biomass is converted in the PyroFlex reactor into biochar and a hot process vapour. The solid red lines represent PyroFlex Vapour, where this vapour is used directly for heating, cooling, or electricity generation. The solid green lines show PyroFlex Condenser, where additional equipment condenses the vapour into organic oils and aqueous liquids, with the remaining fuel gas recovered for energy use.
