New High Pressure Pyrolysis Instrument with Built-in Trap
CDS has introduced the first and only high-pressure pyrolysis system. Scientists studying new material, such as biomass feed stock, need to understand how these materials break down in a reactor at varying conditions. The high-pressure pyrolyzer allows them to study both high temperature & pressure on a small scale in the lab before undergoing the time and expense of scaling up to a pilot reactor. And in addition, the analytical atmosphere can be carrier gas or a reactant gas such as air or oxygen. Learn more about the Pyroprobe 5200 High Pressure System.

INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS

High Pressure Pyrolysis from CDS Facilitates Bio-fuel Research
As pressure builds to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce reliance on foreign oil, interest in cellulosic bio-fuels continues to grow. Cellulosic bio-fuels are derived from a wide variety of plant materials as well as non-food based feedstocks and energy crops. However, developing cost-effective means of producing cellulosic bio-fuels on a national scale poses major scientific challenges. Regardless of crop type or feedstock under consideration, analytical research tools are required to study new sources of biomass, bio-engineered crop types, and additives. CDS 5000 Series pyrolysis instruments, including the new CDS Model 5200HP, offer an effective way of meeting one of these analysis challenges. Learn more.
