Thermal Depolymerisation

[Amelia]

Does anyone ard have idea about what thermal depolymerisation is?? Is it widely employed for biofuel production??..

[paru]

Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often known as biomass and plastic) into light crude oil..

This method is being widely used even for biofuel production from biomas...

ANy idea about the production costs of fuel through thermal depolymerisation?

Production costs are about $80 a barrel.. Various companies claim that this can further be reduced if they find a means of disposing waste..

Is this the same as the pyrolysis processes used commonly for turning organic feedstock into oil? Are there any differences between the two?
