Turning Waste Into Valuable Resources
Advanced pyrolysis technology for waste reduction, resource recovery and sustainable energy solutions.
Discover PyrolysisEnvironmental and Industrial Technologies
Nettrix Company has invested in environmental and industrial technologies. One of the most important technologies we have developed is a gasification process known as pyrolysis.
This process converts organic materials into valuable products such as biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, contributing to waste reduction and sustainable energy solutions.
What is Pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis is a thermal conversion process that transforms organic materials into useful solid, liquid and gaseous products.
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic material, such as biomass, in the absence of oxygen. Biomass, which consists of plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or heat, is primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
In the absence of oxygen, the material does not combust but instead undergoes chemical decomposition. The major constituents of biomass—cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin—thermally decompose into a mixture of combustible gases and solid residues known as charcoal.
Organic materials are heated in a controlled oxygen-free environment rather than being burned.

Three Valuable Outputs
Pyrolysis can produce a combination of solid, liquid and gaseous products depending on process conditions.
Biochar
A stable carbon-rich solid material that can be used to improve soil fertility and support carbon sequestration.
Bio-Oil
A liquid product generated from condensable pyrolysis vapors with potential applications in renewable fuels and chemical processing.
Syngas
A combustible gas mixture containing components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and light hydrocarbons.
From Thermal Decomposition to Renewable Resources
The gaseous products of pyrolysis include permanent gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H₂), and light hydrocarbons such as methane (CH₄).
Many of the condensable gases and vapors can be converted into a liquid known as pyrolysis oil or bio-oil. This renewable product can be further processed to produce different chemicals and fuels.
Supporting Soil & Carbon Management
Pyrolysis also produces biochar, a form of charcoal that can be used to improve soil fertility and support carbon sequestration.
Depending on the feedstock and process conditions, biochar can provide a useful pathway for recovering carbon from organic materials while reducing the amount of waste requiring disposal.
Designed for Different Applications
Pyrolysis performance depends on process conditions and can be optimized according to the desired product and application.
Energy Production
Recovering combustible gases and energy-rich products from organic materials.
Chemical Synthesis
Producing useful intermediate materials for chemical and industrial applications.
Waste Management
Converting organic waste into recoverable materials instead of treating it solely as a disposal problem.
Environmental Management
Supporting resource recovery and more sustainable approaches to organic waste management.
