This video presents the demonstration of simple pyrolysis of wood into three products , pyrolysis oil, pyrolysis gas and char. First, the glass work is prepared to condense the gas and the wood sample is fed into our borosilicate glass tube. Then, the wood sample is heated by simple torch to breakdown the organic fraction. Later , the condensable gas is cooled down and the pyrolysis oil is collected and the pyrolysis gas is combusted before sent to the fume.
The pyrolysis oil from wood has high water content compared to fossil fuel.
Setup: standard glass work (Borosilicate glass work).
