Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon Portable “Fast Pyrolysis” equipment demonstration to be held at Kinzua Mill Site The Umatilla Na tional Forest, in coopera tion with Morrow County, Rocky Mountain Research Station, University o f Idaho and the University o f Mon tana, is sponsoring a free public demonstration o f fast pyrolysis equipment. The dem ostration on August 31 will be held at the K inzua M ill Site, located two miles north of Heppner on State Highway 207. The equipm ent will be set up on site that morn ing for view ing with the presentation taking place at 1 p.m. T his d e m o n stra tion investigates w hether portable fast pyrolysis is econom ically feasible to decrease wildfire risk by reducing hazardous fuels. Fast Pyrolysis is a therm al process that rap idly heats woody biomass to a controlled temperature (500 degrees C), and then quickly cools the volatile products to yield bio-oil (-6 0 % ) bio-char (-2 0 % ) and syngas (-2 0 % ). The syngas can be collected or recycled into the combus tion cham ber to run the fast pyrolysis operation. The bio-oil and bio-char are collected and trucked off-site for later use. Bio-oil can be refined into #2 diesel fuel or used for industrial heating while the bio-char can be used as a valued soil amendment. For more informa tion about the fast pyrolysis demonstration, please con tact: Dave Powell, Forest Silviculturist Umatilla Na tional Forest, at 541-278- 3852 or Carrie Spradlin, Heppner RD Supervisory Forester at 541 -676-9187.
