Process of Pyrolysis

This video is made available as part of the biofuels education projects funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The animation illustrate the process of fast pyrolysis which takes the bio-oil as example of the final product. It includes pretreatment, pyrolysis reaction, char collection, quench system, and bio-oil storage.

Who had the bright idea of using a catalogue Thai bride for the narration? The pyrolysis of our plastic waste will be a game changer, isn't it better that we all understand this?

Oh thanks for the loud music. I love when these play in science video cause when I listen to a science video I usually do not want to hear or understand anything. Music is ok but please make the narrator voice louder then the music. VERY IMPORTANT

[omkr]

This video is very informative. Amazing work!

[BadlanderLitchfield]

Way to go Green, gentle soul. Fabulously verdant.

[turtlezed]

are you making oil that is denser than water? because your water is floating on top of your cooled oil?

[fplagos]

Very strange that the bio oil (density= 0.8) layer is below the water layer (density =1). g-vector points to the sky !

[leamsy]

something's wrong with the quencher illustration, water on top, oil at the bottom?

[guymiklos]

Music too loud. I can't distinguish the words. How does Biofuels Edu thinker the music contributes to the quality of information transmission?

[dewaynemorgan]

Is there another video of this with a narrator that speaks English? I would like to understand what is being said....

[shaunalexthomas]

Great video....when is the English version coming out?

[nlo]

Good explanation. I am partly deaf, so the music background creates a noise that makes the narrative hard to hear correctly and distinguish the words. There is nothing wrong with the explanation, so please ignore the trolls and turn the music off!

Where are the working / operational units in the USA located? We have 60, 000 tons of Paper sludge and poly film scrap in warehouse. Looking for an option.

[marcopolo]

😮 the char goes up with the gasses? That possible? I thoungt going down?

[gabrielokafor]

I understand perfectly. The accent is not great but if you do your homework you would understand even without the audio. Look at the fluid flow and don't be mean. If you think you can do a better video go right ahead.

[ShortGiant]

Cool animation.  Thanks for the references!

Can a pyrolysis work with concentrated sunlight?

[GarikDonagafonovich]

Hello did You come out with this development on the European market

[danielschrecker]

I don't understand. If this is clean energy then what fuel is being burnt to heat the process? Do you burn hydrogen gas so you don't produce CO2? They can't mean to burn the oil to heat the process because tree oils are carbon based which would release CO2.

This seems like a bit of misdirection, like hybrid and electric cars. Sure, YOU aren't producing CO2 but the coal power plant that creates the electricity you charge your car with does.

Seems to be a lot of people who don't have a very good command or understanding of the English language. If the narrators accent is all you took away from the video you have a problem. For all the critics, I am sure you are all at least bilingual and speak your second, third or fourth languages without an

Adding the word *PYROLYSIS* to my vocabulary.
