BERAHN®-Oil

The analysis of BERAHN®-Oil, directly taken from a Complete Recycling System-BERAHN®, showed the following results:

  Unit  Value 
Carbon purity in oil  % 99.4
Water content  % 7.4
Flashpoint °C 7
Hydrogen % 7.2
Fuel value (Ho, v) kJ/kg 39,947
Heating value (Hu, v) kJ/kg 37,287


As the above table documents, the BERAHN®-Oil is of premium quality.

Until now the thermal usage of this kind of oil is more common than applications in the chemical industry. Thermal applications are for instance the usage in boiler for heat generation, in turbine diesel engines for power and heat generation, and the production of synthesis gas via gasification.

Chemical applications vary in the usage of oil-fractions or single components. Fractions are mainly used for the production of aromas, glues, and fertilizer. Single components find their deployment in the production of phenol, aldehyde, and levo-glucose.

However, for chemical applications several companies already enforced research and development to utilize pyrolysis-oil more efficiently.
