    About Technotherm

    Technotherm is a global leader in thermal energy, pyrolysis, and waste-to-energy solutions. With over 15+ years of development, our Plastic-to-Fuel Technology converts waste plastics into high-quality liquid fuels. We specialize in advanced low-temperature pyrolysis, thermal and mechanical depolymerization, and sustainable manufacturing. With decades of experience, our proven systems can process mixed waste streams, providing valuable outputs including diesel, naphtha, and syngas.

    Technotherm brings cutting-edge technologies from the laboratory to full production scale, driven by our commitment to environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and circular economy principles.

    Plastics to Liquid Fuels

    Plastics to Liquid Fuels

    Our proprietary twin pyrolysis systems convert waste plastics into high-grade diesel and naphtha, with zero harmful emissions and a 95% uptime guarantee. Each plant is engineered for maximum efficiency, scalability, and off-grid operation.

    Key Features:

    • Twin Pyrolysis System with optional Distillation
    • Processes up to 30T/day of plastics
    • Yields 1,000L/hr liquids (ā‰ˆ8M L/year | 600T PPO/month)
    • Produces A-Grade TPO for large refineries
    • Distillation separates Diesel (470k L/month) & Naphtha (250k L/month)
    • SynGas fuels burners & generators (off-grid capable)
    • Zero harmful emissions, fully automated PLC + HMI
    • Optional Wash Plant, Nā‚‚ Generator, Distillation Tower
    • Outputs: PPO, Diesel, Naphtha, SynGas, Power, Residue
    • Plant payback <2 years

    The Problem

    Each year, millions of tons of waste end up in landfills, polluting and degrading land and harming our planet. The need for sustainable waste-to-energy solutions has never been more urgent.

    Distinction between PTE and Technotherm

    Flash Pyrolysis vs Phase Pyrolysis

    PTE

    PTE uses rapid 'flash' pyrolysis at relatively high heat levels, used across a wide spectrum of feedstock, but the rapid heating can lead to lower product quality for feedstock that requires slower, more controlled heating and oxygen-free stabilization, resulting in less stable final product.

    Technotherm

    Technotherm's phased pyrolysis involves the process of heating material over a series of distinct phases, each with specific conditions, with much lower temperatures over a longer period. This results in significantly more stable and higher quality end products including Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fractions (Diesel, Naphtha).
