Klean Industries is proud to announce that its 40-tonne-per-day (40 TPD) biomass pyrolysis retort plant has successfully begun operations, advancing sustainable biomass conversion and waste-to-energy technology. This cutting-edge facility transforms biomass waste into high-quality biochar, syngas, and renewable energy, supporting carbon-neutral initiatives and circular economy goals. By utilizing Klean’s advanced pyrolysis technology, this plant is setting new industry standards in low-emission biomass processing and sustainable resource recovery.

Vancouver, Canada - Klean Industries Inc. “Klean”- Announced today that all major systems of the Bio-Oil plant are completed and that the initial successful start-up of the “MORPPS” mobile organic retort pyrolysis processing system began at the Vancouver facility on May 30th. Full commissioning will be finalized once the Ministry of Environment of the Province of British Columbia receives the acceptance certificate. Key systems have been tested and operated within design standards, and operator training has occurred. 

The commissioning process comprises installing instrumentation and testing all subsystems in preparation for full Bio-Oil and Charcoal production. The engineering team has completed the initial testing of the closed-loop pyrolysis process, charcoal handling system, and receiving tanks. 

The final commissioning will test indirect heating systems and feed input to the reactor. In the coming weeks, a significant milestone will be completed during the “Full Circle” test of all the systems. 

We have successfully demonstrated the mobile conversion process and have spent 8 years testing the system. “We have now begun commercializing the mobile system and are extremely pleased to announce the start-up and commissioning of the 40tpd system,” said the Business Development Director Marc Smith. 

Through retort pyrolysis, the system unlocks the natural energy inside the world’s abundant organic resources, usually discarded by the agricultural and forest industries. The unique technology economically and commercially converts biomass into a renewable, environmentally friendly Biofuel. The system is designed for easy modular scale-up and minimal pre-treatment to input feedstock. 

The system can process these residues into fuel, known as Bio-Oil and char. Approximately 24 tonnes of bio-oil and 8 tonnes of char will be produced daily, and gas will fuel the system.

Bio-oil is a free-flowing, dark brown liquid comprised of highly oxygenated compounds. As a fuel, Bio-Oil is considered CO2 neutral and emits no SOx and low NOx when combusted. Bio-oil density is high at 1.2kgs/liter. The heating value on a weight basis is approximately 40% of diesel’s. On a volume basis, the heating value compared to diesel is approximately 55%.

Bio-oil can be stored, pumped, and transported like petroleum-based products and combusted directly in boilers, gas turbines, and slow—and medium-speed diesel for heat and power applications.

The next step in the design process calls for a plant capable of processing 200 tonnes per day of dry biomass and producing approximately 120 tonnes of Bio-Oil and 50 tonnes of char per day (equivalent in energy to 450 barrels of hydrocarbon oil per day). 

Benefits of these applications include:

• Agro and Forest industries - Mitigation of residue management costs.
• Off-Grid Power - Produce local fuel at no transportation cost.
• Fuel importers - Replace and mitigate import costs & produce fuel from a local resource.
• Climate Change - Greenhouse gas neutral (credits), no sulfur; low thermal NOX
