PYROCITA - Supply and installation of a pyrolysis unit at the Cashew Innovation and Technology Center (CITA)
Partners
Main goals
Nitidæ has been working on the thermal recovery of cashew shells since 2011, in particular through pyrolysis and gasification techniques allowing a cleaner use of heat than in simple combustion and the production of a secondary fuel in the form of green charcoal. 2 facilities in site-school mode are planned at the Cashew Innovation and Technology Center (CITA) in Yamoussoukro.
Specific objectives
SO1. Training of craftsmen in metal construction in the construction of pyrolysis furnaces and boilers for the recovery of cashew shells. The equipment installed in "school site" mode will make it possible to use cashew nut shells for the production of steam and green coal
SO2. Training of operators of the CITA boiler room in the use of cashew nut recovery equipment installed: pyrolysis boiler room and carbonization platform
SO3. Installation and test of a new cashew nut recovery solution: the carbonization platform for large-scale production of green charcoal
