• Technology

    The Tucker technology is a closed-loop system for conversion of carbonaceous feedstock at a temperature of over 850°C, with feedstock airlocks and no inputs of oxygen, or carrier gas during the conversion process; oxidation during conversion is very low, resulting in high organic gas output. The organic gas is cleaned using a portion of the carbon biochar as a filtering medium, eliminating the need for filter or scrubbers. One unit has the capacity to process 32 tonnes of dry feed stock per day.

The patented design can process multiple biomass feedstocks (Plastic, Wood, MSW, Coal) via a continuous feed design producing an organic gas and biochar with virtually a ‘zero’ emission footprint. Noxious materials are retained from entry into environment.

The superior design allows end users to scale from one master unit and adding an additional 5 clone units operating from the master operating system depending on the clients’ feedstock processing needs.

The Tucker technology is a proprietary, high temperature, catalytically enhanced pyrolysis process, designed to accept a wide variety of feedstocks, that can be optimized for methane content of the resultant gas or the fixed carbon and nutrients passed through to the residual by-product.

  • Most ‘gasifiers’ utilize a process known as partial oxidization in which the material is heated along with small injections of air.
  • Advanced pyrolysis represents a process in which the material is thermally decomposed without the introduction of outside air. It takes place at higher temperatures and the oxygen content is specifically managed.
  • Tucker technology is a further refinement of the pyrolysis process, with a patented process that sequesters sulfur, mercury and other heavy metals and noxious compounds.
  • The simplicity, scalability and low start-up costs, ability to utilize a wide range of feedstocks and ability to produce outputs of high commercial and environmental value, and carbon sequestration abilities make the Tucker advanced pyrolysis system a necessary environmental solution.
  • The unit is relatively small, measuring 20’x16’x10’ and requires no special manufacturing. The unit is skid mounted. The base of the unit is standard I-beam, requiring a small crane to ‘mount’ the unit on a flat concrete pad. The unit requires no special modification other than a level site.
