Long-chain hydrocarbons may gel or solidify as the product cools toward ambient temperature—often around 45 °C or higher, depending on composition. Temperature control, heat tracing, staged condensation and accessible cleaning keep vapor lines, condensers, filters and tanks productive.
PYROLYSIS ENGINEERING MAP
36 engineering priorities. Reliability by design.

01 / PLASTIC
Engineering keys for reliable plastic pyrolysis
Polyolefin conversion reaches consistent performance when wax, heat transfer, feedstock, metallurgy, uptime and product acceptance are engineered together.
WHY PYRTHERM
Engineer the complete system.
Pyrtherm connects the decisions vendors usually separate. The work starts with the real feedstock and ends with a product a real customer can accept.
