Focus on Continuous Pyrolysis Reactor: Excellence in Design
High-Temperature Resistant Materials
The reactor of continuous tyre pyrolysis plant is built with high-performance alloys that offer excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance. This ensures long-term stability under high-temperature conditions. Options include:
- 310 Stainless Steel – Up to 1035°C resistance.
- 304 Stainless Steel – Up to 600-700°C resistance.
- Custom Materials – Tailored to specific customer requirements.
Anti-Coking Designs
Material coking on the reactor wall leads to poor heat transfer, unstable reactions, and higher energy consumption and maintenance. Beston Group addresses this issue through various measures.
- Internal Mechanical Chain De-coking Structure: Utilizes continuous friction in the rotary reactor to effectively prevent material coking.
- Hot Air Heating Method: Minimize the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the reactor to suppress coking.
Secure Sealing Structure
At the feeding and discharging ports, BLL-30 continuous pyrolysis reactor adopts high-carbon fiber sealing rings + high-temperature-resistant flexible packing. This design provides the following advantages:
- Safety: Prevents oxygen from entering the reactor, reducing explosion risk; prevents leakage of high-temperature oil-gas.
- Ease of Operation: The flexible packing structure is easy to install and maintain, minimizing downtime losses.
Smarter & Safer: Technologies Behind Continuous Pyrolysis Plant
Percise Feeding – Smarter
- Automatic Screw Conveying: Achieve efficient and stable material transfer; improve overall productivity.
- Gram-Level Weighing Control: High-precision electronic scales enable gram-accurate feeding, real-time monitoring, and phased data tracking.
Integrated Control Technology – Smarter
- PLC and DCS Remote Control System: Improve automation efficiency; ensure stable equipment operation; effectively reduce labor costs; improve the working environment.
- Internet of Things (IoT) System: Enable real-time monitoring for continuous pyrolysis machine, empowering clients with efficient and centralized operational control.
Nitrogen Protection Technology – Safer
The feeding system utilizes nitrogen with a purity of over 95% to displace the air inside the sealing material bin. This maintains an oxygen-deficient environment inside the continuous pyrolysis reactor. It ensures the smooth progress of the pyrolysis reaction.
Discharging Sealing Technology – Safer
The discharge system uses a water-cooled sealed slag tank equipped with high and low level sensors. By controlling the material level to form a seal, it ensures that high-temperature oil vapors do not leak during continuous slag discharge and prevents air from backflowing into the main furnace.
How Does A Continuous Pyrolysis Plant Work?
01 Feeding
Take screw feeding as an example,
- The first screw feeder conveys raw materials in a silo for precise weighing.
- The second screw feeder then delivers the accurately quantitative material into the continuous pyrolysis reactor.
| Raw Materials | Feeding Way | Feeding Size |
|---|---|---|
| Waste Plastic | Shafted Screw Conveyor | Less than 2 cm |
| Waste Tyre | Shafted Screw Conveyor | Less than 15 mm |
| Oil Sludge (40%–60% liquid content) | Shaftless Screw Conveyor | / |
| Oil Sludge (more than 75% liquid content) | Oil Slurry Pump | / |
02 Pyrolysis
In the controlled oxygen-free reactor, materials decompose instead of burning when exposed to high temperatures..
- When the temperature reaches 180℃, oil gas begins to generate.
- When the temperature is between 280-350℃, a large significant amount of oil gas appears.
03 Oil Gas Condensation
The light oil gas will be liquefied into fuel oil by the condenser and stored in the fuel oil tank.
04 Syngas Recycling
05 High Temperature Flue Gas Reuse
- Guide 80% of hot flue gas from the reactor back into the combustion chamber. Mix it with 1000-1300℃ hot air from combustor. Use the mixture to heat the reactor.
- Use the remaining 20% of hot flue gas to heat fresh combustion air. Thus the hot combustion air can offer an oxygen condition for combustor.
06 Solid Residue Discharge
07 Exhaust Gas Treatment
