Pyrolysis liquid is a potential source of revenues for motor vehicles or lubrication purpose. Fast Pyrolysis bio-oil from agriculture crop residues is one of the alternatives to replace fossil fuels. Once produced, bio-oils may be shipped, stored and utilized much like conventional liquid fuels once their specific fuel properties are taken into account. The mustered crop residue was selected for carrying out research work. Size of particle play important role during the design of bio-oil reactor. It was suitable for satisfying the condition of fast pyrolysis. The screw feeding method was used to feed the raw material in reactor chamber. Temperature throughout reactor was not same. It varies according to height and also, with the distance from wall of the reactor chamber. For determination of temperature profile of reactor, it was found that temperature at middle region of reactor chamber was higher than that of top and bottom regions of reactor chamber. The performance of reactor was taken at different temperature of 450, 500, 550 and 600 0C respectively. The feeding rate of pyrolysis unit was kept constant i.e., 1 kg/h. The highest recovery of bio-oil from mustered crop residues was found as 11 (wt.) percent at temperature of 550 0C. The highest recovery of bio-char was found 40 (wt.) per cent at temperature of 450 0C. The highest yield of NCG + Bio-oil was estimated 28.5 percent at temperature of 600 0C.
