	Flash pyrolysis is used primarily to yield a higher ~~oil~~ output and ~~lower gas~~ and ~~char~~ outputs. The '''Molten Salt Flash [[Pyrolysis]] Reactor''' will use ~~molten salt~~ at a temp of 450-550C to gain optimum [[Pyrolysis Oil\|bio-oil]] yields.		Flash pyrolysis is used primarily to yield a higher [[Bio-Oil]] output and [[Syngas]] and [[Charcoal]] outputs. The '''Molten Salt Flash [[Pyrolysis]] Reactor''' will use [[Molten Salt]] at a temp of 450-550C to gain optimum [[Pyrolysis Oil\|bio-oil]] yields.

	'''A:''' The biomass will be a closed container and will feed the biomass into the molten salt. Variations in design: The feeding system can use a screw feed or an air feed system. The biomass will have to be very fine, under 1mm in size. If need be, nitrogen can be used to keep the oxygen levels low, but it may not be necessary. Variation in design: The biomass can be fed and injected underneath the molten salt or over top. If the biomass uses a screw feed and it places the biomass on the surface of the salt, then a cyclone effect or blender mechanism must be added. This will ensure that all the biomass is quickly brought underneath the molten salt and ensures the highest possible bio-oil yield due to quick reaction times.
