Biomass Pyrolysis Furnace

What Is Biomass Pyrolysis?

Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical conversion process that decomposes organic materials—such as agricultural residues, forestry waste, wood chips, coconut shells, and bamboo—under oxygen-free or low-oxygen conditions.
During this process, biomass is transformed into biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, which are widely used in renewable energy, soil improvement, environmental protection, and material development.

With the accelerating global shift toward carbon neutrality and renewable energy technologies, biomass pyrolysis has become an essential research topic for universities, institutes, and industry. To obtain stable, controlled, and repeatable pyrolysis results, a specialized system is required — and this is where the Biomass Pyrolysis Tube Furnace plays a crucial role.

What Is a Biomass Pyrolysis Tube Furnace?

A biomass pyrolysis tube furnace is a type of laboratory tube furnace designed specifically for biomass pyrolysis, carbonization, and thermochemical studies.
The system consists of a high-temperature tube chamber, multi-zone heating configuration, and controlled-atmosphere design, enabling precise simulation of pyrolysis conditions under nitrogen, argon, CO₂, or other inert gases.

Compared with a conventional high-temperature furnace, a professional high-temperature tube furnace offers better temperature uniformity, improved sealing performance, and enhanced gas flow design, making it ideal for biomass pyrolysis mechanism studies, biochar property analysis, and product distribution research.

Key Features
