Thermal (Conventional) Conversion Line

 

ORNL Image

The thermal conversion line is rated for 25 tonnes/year of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)–based fiber and can convert both melt-spun and solution-spun precursors. It is baselined for standard modulus PAN but designed with the exibility to accommodate lignin, polyolefin, and pitch precursors and can be readily upgraded to convert rayon and high-modulus PAN precursors. It is designed to process materials in either tow or web forms.
