[ The Pyro-ClinX ]
Your wood residues become power, heat and biochar.
The Pyro-ClinX 150 generates power and heat for your site around the clock from woody residues. It also produces biochar that you can sell or use yourself. The carbon bound in it can be certified as a CO₂ sink and opens up a further revenue stream.
[ Fuel ]
Suitable residues
Not just wood chips: the Pyro-ClinX uses untreated woody residues from forestry, landscape maintenance and the wood industry. Wood chips G30 to G45 with 10 to 25 % moisture content are ideal. We check everything else for you in advance.
[ How it works ]
Pyrolysis meets externally fired micro gas turbine
These residues are turned into power, heat and biochar in two coupled steps. We developed this combination ourselves, and the technology behind it is patented.

[ Base load ]
Power and heat around the clock
Every business has an energy demand that never takes a break: process heat, heating, ventilation, cooling, compressed air. That is your base load. This is exactly the part the Pyro-ClinX covers. Sun and wind only deliver when the weather cooperates. The Pyro-ClinX delivers steadily: › also at night and in winter › base load from your own generation › designed for 8,000 operating hours a year
[ Application ]
Applications of the Pyro-ClinX
Base load from wood residues fits wherever residues arise and energy is needed around the clock.

Projects with the Pyro-ClinX
Selected projects in which our pyrolysis technology generates power, heat and biochar from woody residues.
Biochar production at an industrial site in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Three Pyro-ClinX 150 plants generate power, heat and biochar from industrial waste wood at an industrial site in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
PyroPark Forst
With PyroPark Forst, an integrated energy site is being created in Lusatia that converts woody residues into power, usable heat, biochar and permanent CO₂ removal.
Our own test and demonstration plant in Cottbus
Our own ClinX plant in Cottbus has reached around 30,000 operating hours, as a test platform and showcase for customers and partners.

The process step by step
For those who want to know exactly. From wood chips to power, heat and biochar: the pyrolysis gas is oxidised flamelessly in the FLOX combustion chamber, the high-temperature heat exchanger heats clean air, and only this air drives the micro gas turbine. Its warm exhaust air flows back into the FLOX combustion chamber.

[ FAQ ]
Frequently asked questions about the Pyro-ClinX system
01 What is the Pyro-ClinX 150?
The Pyro-ClinX 150 is a pyrolysis plant with combined heat and power, also known as a pyrolysis CHP. From around 315 kg of wood chips per hour it generates 150 kW of power gross, up to 450 kW of heat and around 75 kg of biochar. At its heart is an externally fired micro gas turbine (EFGT).
02 Can I use my own wood residues?
Yes. Wood residues, sawmill by-products or green cuttings from your business reduce fuel costs. Your own residues are not a prerequisite: the plant runs on wood chips G30 to G45 with up to 25 % moisture content. We take care of sourcing and logistics on request.
03 When does a wood chip CHP like the Pyro-ClinX system pay off?
When a site needs heat and power all year round: industrial companies with process heat, the wood industry and sawmills, municipalities, utilities and heating network operators. Biochar and CO₂ sink certificates bring additional revenue that a conventional wood chip CHP does not have.
04 How does the Pyro-ClinX system differ from a wood gasifier CHP?
A wood gasifier burns wood gas in an engine and needs dry, uniform fuel and gas cleaning. The Pyro-ClinX system oxidises the pyrolysis gas in the FLOX burner and only transfers the heat to the turbine. The turbine never comes into contact with the gas, no gas cleaning is needed, and 20 to 25 % of the input remains as biochar.
05 Is the technology proven?
Yes. The externally fired micro gas turbine has been developed further since 2012. More than 100 energy projects have been realised within the group of companies. The technology has received the Berlin Brandenburg Innovation Award.
06 How much space and which permit does the plant need?
The plant itself measures 13.40 × 6.40 m with a height of 5.90 m. We plan fuel storage, drying and delivery to suit your site. We assess the likely permitting route in the pre-project phase.
07 Do we need our own staff?
Permanent staff are not necessary. The plant runs fully automatically around the clock, with PLC control and remote monitoring. Simple tasks arise on site, such as changing full big bags, visual checks and accepting fuel deliveries. Your staff take these on after training by us, which is included free of charge with the purchase of the plant. On request, we also take over operation.
08 Who buys the biochar?
You use the biochar yourself or sell it. If you wish, we take over the sale of biochar and CO₂ sink certificates or buy the biochar at an agreed price.
09 What emissions does the plant have?
The pyrolysis gas is oxidised flamelessly and completely in the FLOX burner. The limit values are below 20 mg/Nm³ for dust, below 150 mg/Nm³ for carbon monoxide and below 370 mg/Nm³ for nitrogen oxides, based on 6 % residual oxygen.
