Welcome to PYREG
PYREG is a systems manufacturer and solution provider for environmentally friendly technology systems. As a market leader in carbonization technology, it offers solutions for the conversion of biomass to biochar or sewage sludge to phosphorus fertilizer. PYREG Technology can also be used in the production of high-quality activated carbon and feeding char from regional biomass ressources. The sustainable technology contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions (improved CO2 footprint) through closed material cycles.
The carbonization of sewage sludge also solves a global waste problem in a cost-saving way and at the same time produces valuable phosphorus as a fertilizer substrate. There are already more than 25 PYREG systems in operation worldwide.
ACTIVATED CARBON – PRODUCED ACCORDING TO EU ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS
Global demand for activated carbon is increasing, and most of it is produced outside the EU under questionable conditions. With PYREG System Technology, activated carbon can be produced according to European environmental standards and from regionally sourced, renewable raw materials: energy-efficient and with surfaces of up to 1000 m²/g.
CARBON PRODUCTS & CO2 -REDUCTION
Rising raw material costs, finite resources, excessively high carbon emissions or image problems – PYREG Carbon Technology Systems provides multi-faceted solutions for our industrial customers. Biochar as a substitute for fossil energy sources or for carbon reduction… PYREG Carbon Technology Systems are individually adaptable to a wide array of applications.
CARBON SUBSTRATES FOR SOIL & PLANTS
Climate changes, heat stress, droughts and heavy rainfall demand more and more from the soil and thus also from plants and trees. Natural carbon substrates sustainably and gently improve soil fertility, are ideal nutrient carriers and make plants/trees more resistant. With PYREG Technology, climate-friendly and high-quality carbon products (biochar, fertiliser substrates) can be produced from various biomasses.
CARBON SUBSTRATES FOR ANIMALS & STABLES
Natural carbon substrates for improved stable hygiene and enhanced animal welfare are regarded as gentle alternatives to antibiotics or wood chips, lime and chalk. We create the technical prerequisites for this. With our plant systems, high-quality, certifiable biochar litter substrates and charcoal feed substrates can be produced from various biomasses.
RENEWABLE HEAT & ELECTRICITY
With the energy-efficient PYREG Technology, regenerative heat can be generated from various biomasses and used for further processes. Depending on the system components, the heat can also be converted into electricity, thus replacing fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions.
WASTE DISPOSAL & REFINEMENT
Recycling and disposal of surplus biogenic materials is not limited to energy production and landfilling. With carbonisation technology, biogenic substances (or residues with a biogenic content) can be hygienised, numerous pollutants eliminated and the total quantity significantly reduced. Depending on their composition, the biogenic residual materials can also be refined into new carbon products using PYREG System Technology and thus recycled.
SLUDGE UTILISATION & PHOSPHORUS RECYCLING
Treatment and recycling of sewage sludge is becoming an increasingly sophisticated process. With a PYREG system, the sewage sludge is thermally hygienised, pollutants are eliminated and the total quantity is significantly reduced. What’s more, the phosphorus contained is recycled so that it is available to plants. Sewage sludge can thus be fully utilised in our single-stage, energy-efficient carbonisation process to produce an EU-wide approved fertiliser substrate.
Environmental facts at a glance
The PYREG systems are compact, decentralized systems that can be integrated easily into existing material cycles and infrastructure. Due to the CO2 sequestration and the production of reusable energy they are not only economically but also environmentally the write solution.
