The previous discussion on chemistry showed that oil components are intermediates that are susceptible to consecutive decomposition reactions, i.e., cracking and condensation. It is therefore essential to remove them from the reaction environment as soon as they are formed. In other words, the volatile components should have a very short residence time. The Pyrolysis process also requires the supply of heat to drive all these cracking and decomposition reactions. An elegant answer to these two challenges has been proposed and developed by van Swaaij et al. [30] and forms the basis of the Pyrolysis process that is commercialized by BTG, the Biomass Technology Group BV [31].
