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
