pyrolysis can be used for heating during production.” In June, Pyrolyx merged with CCT Stegelitz (CCT) in Germany, while in the US it has signed a letter of intent with the CH2E Group. “Together with CCT and CH2E, we have plans to build Pyrolyx plants,” says company vice president Rolf-Hendrik Arens. “Our schedule depends on regulatory and structural requirements, but we like to start in 2016 with operations at both sites.” Arens notes that the merger with CCT makes Pyrolyx


the only company in the world with both batch and continuous technologies for producing carbon black from waste. “Pyrolyx would like to build the continuous production line parallel to the CCT [batch] production line, which has been in operation since 2012,” he says. Aemerge is another company developing ways to


create carbon-based products from waste. It says its Carbonizer technology can convert any organic waste stream into both clean energy and profi table material co-products with low to zero air emissions. It says its core differentiator is in its ability to accommodate multiple and mixed waste streams. Over 100 types of

carbon black for plastics compounds from old wooden pallets (CW Nov 2014). “We have transitioned the waste feedstock that we treat away from wood and toward medical,” says Adam Seger, head of sales and market- ing. The company is currently researching the carbons generated.
