A process for converting plastic materials into pyrolytic oils, wherein: plastic materials are continuously fed into a preheating reactor to be mixed and preheated at a preheating temperature to obtain a pasty mixture; the pasty mixture is continuously transferred into a pyrolysis reactor to be heated at a pyrolysis temperature, under an anaerobic or inert atmosphere, to be converted into synthesis gases and a solid reaction product; the synthesis gases, containing condensable gases and uncondensable gases, are recovered on a first outlet located above the permeable bed, and the solid reaction product is recovered on a second outlet located below the permeable bed; the condensable gases of the synthesis gases are condensed into pyrolytic oils which are recovered.

A process for producing products from biomass comprises pyrolysing biomass at a selected temperature and producing a bio-syngas, processing bio-syngas from pyrolysis step (a) to remove condensable constituents from the bio-syngas, and processing the non-condensable bio-syngas from bio-syngas processing step (b) and producing one or more than one product, such as bio-fuels, bio-chemicals, bio-solvents and bio-plastics.
