The proposed solution is the development of a solar assisted pyrolysis reactor design which will effectively convert sewer sludge into biofuel and bio-char. The biofuel can then be utilized in a combined cycle or a conventional steam cycle to generate electricity. We selected slow solar pyrolysis in the range of 400 to 500 Degree Celsius, operating with a parabolic trough collector. We propose to create a superior solar collector as compared to the traditional evacuated tube. Our research focuses on using a transparent aerogel, in the parabolic trough solar collector, due to its good insulation and excellent radiative properties, thereby increasing the solar collector’s thermal efficiency. And also, to identify an aerogel which is cost effective and recyclable.
