GARP 1225
Green Adaptable Recycling Pyrolysis – Our Universal Mobile Pyrolysis Unit
The GARP 1225 system delivers advanced thermochemical recycling, serving as a clean, sustainable alternative to incineration and landfilling. This containerized solution sets a new standard in pyrolysis performance, specifically built to process a wide range of challenging synthetic organic materials, including plastics, end-of-life tires (ELT), and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) with maximum efficiency.
Our unit operates on the principle of thermal depolymerization (pyrolysis). By functioning within a fully anaerobic environment (without oxygen), the system achieves the chemical breakdown of waste materials safely and efficiently. It combines intelligent thermal management with sophisticated automation, maintaining precise control over temperature and residence time to ensure consistent, high-quality outputs while simplifying operation for industrial users.
High-Value Outputs and Applications
The closed-loop process transforms waste into essential raw materials and energy, significantly reducing landfill dependency and creating sustainable industrial value streams. The process generates three main product categories:
- Pyrolysis Oil (Liquid Recyclate) – This primary output is a high-demand chemical feedstock. It can be used as a fuel alternative or, critically, as a substitute for fossil resources in refineries to produce new virgin plastics.
- Syngas (Process Gas) – A valuable energy source used primarily for on-site power and heat generation, ensuring the system’s energy independence.
- Carbon Black & Steel – The solid residue, known as carbon black, has industrial reuse potential. When processing tires, it is a high-demand material for producing new tires. Recovered steel is separated for recycling.
Throughput Capacity
The unit demonstrates robust throughput capacity, processing approximately 750 kg/h of plastics or RDF. Tires are handled at up to 1,000 kg/h due to their higher calorific density. Depending on feedstock and continuous operating hours, the annual throughput capacity can reach between 6,000–8,000 tons.
Energy Independence and Low Carbon Footprint
A core feature of the GARP 1225 is its ability to achieve 100% energy self-sufficiency. The syngas generated during the process fuels the unit’s operation, eliminating reliance on external power sources. The system is designed to be energy-positive; surplus energy can be directed to auxiliary systems or exported to the local power grid, lowering operating costs and contributing to local energy resilience.
Controlled, Clean, and Zero-Emission Operation
From feedstock input to product output, the entire process runs in a sealed and fully enclosed loop. Safety is prioritized with multi-stage protection against the ingress of oxidizing agents into the reactor. This closed system ensures zero direct emissions and a minimum carbon footprint.
The syngas undergoes rigorous purification using wet scrubbers and advanced carbon filters. This cleaned syngas then powers Aurelia gas turbines, generating electricity and heat with ultra-low NO-SO₂, and particulate levels. The clean operation ensures full compliance with strict European and Swiss environmental standards.
Industrial Reliability and Scalable Design
Designed for continuous industrial operation, the unit achieves high uptime with only routine preventive maintenance. The modular construction utilizing standard 40 ft containers simplifies installation, transport, and the scaling of operations. The system can be remotely monitored and managed, ensuring seamless operation across multiple sites. Localized spare parts and comprehensive service support are provided to guarantee long-term operational security.
Mobile Deployment and Strategic Advantages
To address diverse regulatory environments, the GARP 1225 is available in a fully mobile configuration mounted on a heavy-duty wheeled chassis. This design offers a critical advantage: in many regions, mobile units are classified differently than permanent civil structures. This allows operators to often bypass lengthy construction permitting phases, enabling rapid deployment and faster authorization.
Beyond regulatory benefits, this mobility ensures operational flexibility. The unit acts as a "plug-and-play" solution that can be easily relocated to different waste sources as needed, making it ideal for landfill remediation projects or managing seasonal waste fluctuations without the sunk costs of permanent infrastructure.
Sustainable Value Creation
By turning problematic waste streams into usable raw materials and energy, the technology provides both a clear economic return and measurable environmental benefits. It acts as a powerful tool for sustainable resource recovery, fully supporting the goals of the Circular Economy and meeting the requirements of ESG frameworks.
