1. What is PAIRAN bio-fuel oil?

Pairan’s Bio-fuel oil is a fuel produced through depolymerization and is a substitute for fossil fuel. In terms of quality specification, Pairan Bio fuel oil are superior to Light diesel oil and are comparable to commercially available High speed diesel. Pairan’s Bio-oil consists of several different components, mainly carbon, hydrogen, and low levels of  oxygen.

2. Where can PAIRAN bio-fuel oil be used?

Pairan’s Bio-oil can be used in a variety of applications, most notably in industrial burners,  re-burning kilns, and low- and medium-speed diesel engines. In the future, significant applications will include transportation fuels and upgrades for chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and materials technology applications.

3. What feedstock's are used in the production of PAIRAN bio-fuel oil?

Pairan uses End of life rubber or Plastics from MSW’s. Hence same aids in carbon offsetting.

4. What is depolymerization ?

Depolymerization is a thermal treatment without oxygen which occurs in a temperature range between 300°C and 600°C. A Chemical conversion occurs at this temperature and products like biomass, plastic, or rubber and the molecules are transformed into a solid, liquid or gas phase. Liquid phase is always obtained by condensation of the gas depolymerization immediately after the pyrolyzer. The ratio of solid, liquid and gas phase depends upon the feedstock and operating parameters such as heat velocity, dwell time, and temperature. Carbonization occurs between 150 and 250°C and is usually meant to convert biomass into biocoal to be used as a solid fuel. Gasification occurs at a higher temperature (> 300°C) and will convert most of the feedstock into syngas which can be valorized into heat after combustion or electricity when the gas is injected into a gas engine or a turbine.

5. How much feedstock will PAIRAN’s bio-refinery use?

One bio-refinery will use about 90000 mt of rubber based feed stocks or plastics per year.

6. Are the Kyoto Protocol related mechanisms (CDM/JI) applicable when using PAIRAN Bio-Fuel oil?

Yes, several methodologies have been developed and approved by the UNFCCC for the application of Bio – Fuel oil in CDM and JI projects.

7. Is there a quality standard for PAIRAN Bio-Fuel oil?

Yes, PAIRAN delivers high quality Bio – Fuel oil which fulfills the specifications for solids, water content, flash point, pour point, gross heat of combustion, viscosity, density, sulfur and ash content . However there will be minor / negligible variation between batches. For more info visit our products page for Test report

8. Are there any articles available on the production and usage of Bio - Fuel oil?

Yes, articles can be found in the downloads section. Also you can always contact us to request additional information .We are always pleased to answer your questions concerning Bio – Fuel oil, technology, oil applications, installations and depolymerization related topics. 

9. What is a low temperature catalytic de-polymerization?

Low-thermic catalytic de-polymerization is a decomposition or cracking of the material without the participation of oxygen.

10. What benefits does PAIRAN bio-Fuel oil have for India?

Non-renewable and exhaustible fossil fuel prices are continuously rising

Bio-oil is a domestic fuel, fossil fuels are imported: a positive impact on energy self-sufficiency and the balance of trade
