Catalytic Pyrolysis: Core Technology Advantage of Plastic to Oil

Catalytic Pyrolysis Technology of Plastic to Oil Machine

Improve Oil Quality – ISCC Certify

Using catalysts significantly reduces the wax content in the oil produced during the plastic pyrolysis process, resulting in a higher-quality end product. This means the oil is purer and performs better, making it suitable for a wider range of industrial applications.

Improve 200% Production Efficiency

With the reduction of wax in the pyrolysis oil, the risk of pipeline blockages is greatly minimized. This directly reduces downtime due to cleaning and maintenance, significantly lowering maintenance costs and improving operational efficiency.

Improve Operation Safety

Wax accumulation causes pipeline blockages and leads to increased internal pressure within plastic pyrolysis equipment, posing safety risks. Catalytic dewaxing prevents this from occurring, ensuring stable and safe operation of plastic to oil machine.

Plastic Pyrolysis Oil Yield

Application of Plastic Pyrolysis Oil

Plastic Pyrolysis Oil as Fuel Source

Fuel Resource

Pyrolysis oil from plastic to fuel machine can be widely used as fuel to provide heat. It can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources.

  • Renewable industrial fuel: Plastic pyrolysis oil can be directly used as a fuel for energy-intensive industry. This reduces consumption of conventional fossil fuels.
  • Higher-grade fuel after reprocessing: With further refining and processing, pyrolysis oil can be transformed into non-standard diesel.
Plastic Pyrolysis Oil as Chemical Feedstock

Chemical Feedstock

Plastic pyrolysis oil serve as a substitute for petroleum-based raw materials in chemical manufacturing, such as resins, adhesives.

  • Naphtha production and plastic production: Pyrolysis oil can be distilled into naphtha, a key feedstock for ethylene production and plastic manufacturing.
  • Asphalt production: This oil can serve as a binder in the production of asphalt and road construction to improve performance.
  • Wax production: This oil can be processed to produce waxes, which have applications in the candle and pharmaceutical industries.

How to Turn Plastic into Oil? – Plastic to Oil Machine Working

01 Feeding

Feed plastic waste into plastic pyrolysis reactor.

  • BLL-30 (Continuous Type): Configured with screw feeder.
  • BLJ-16 (Batch Type): Supports manual, hydraulic, or screw feeding.

02 Preheating

Start the main reactor rotation and preheating. Wait for the main furnace to reach the desired temperature. The fuel can be diesel, natural gas, heavy oil or pyrolysis oil. To save fuel consumption, we design syngas recycling.

03 Catalytic Pyrolysis

When the main reactor’s temperature reaches about 100℃ after 2-3h, it begins to produce oil gas. The high-temperature flue gas generated during pyrolysis is heated in the jacket layer of the catalytic tower, and the oil gas passes through the catalytic tower.

04 Condensing

Then high-temperature oil gas enters the vertical tube condenser, condenses into liquid oil, and enters the storage tank for storage. Non-condensable pyrolysis gas enters the water seal and is recycled for reactor heating. The excess pyrolysis gas enters the exhaust chamber for burning out.

05 Discharging

Close the burners after the reaction. The main reactor and the draft fan still operate normally. After 7-8h of natural cooling, the slag can be discharged by auto screw discharger and water-cooling discharger.

06 Flue Gas Dedusting

The high-temperature flue gas from the catalytic tower mixes the high-temperature flue gas from the main reactor then enters the flue condenser for cooling treatment, and enters the spray tower for spraying dust removal, then discharged through the chimney to the atmosphere.

How to Improve Plastic to Oil Yield?

Focus on Plastics Material Selection

Recommend PE, PP, PS, and more (please to oil yield chart). Avoid plastics with chlorine and oxygen content like PVC and PET, as they can pose hazards and have low oil yields.

Control Heating Temperature and Rate

To get a high oil yield, please use relatively lower high temperatures and a slow heating rate. To maximize gas yield, please keep the reactor at a relatively higher temperatures and a faster heating rate. Recommend intelligent control system.

Auxiliary Distillation Line

Implement a distillation line to further refine and separate the pyrolysis oil into various fractions, which can improve the quality and yield of the final oil product.

Regular Inspection and Cleaning of Equipment

Conduct regular maintenance and cleaning of pyrolysis equipment to prevent blockages and ensure the system operates at its optimal efficiency, thereby maximizing the oil yield.

Unique Designs of Beston Plastic to Oil Machine

BLL-30 Plastic to Oil Machine

Floating Seal Technology

The main reactor combined floating sealing technology uses carbon fiber + high-temperature soft filler combined sealing. Compared with the traditional graphene packing sealing technology, it has good high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

EU-standard Dedusting System

Combined with the higher exhaust gas treatment and wastewater discharge requirements of European clients, it can provide semi-dry or fully dry desulfurization, denitrification and de-dusting system to meet European emission standards.

Hot Air Heating System

Hot air heating method is safer, more uniform in heating, and more precise in temperature control. The most important thing is that waste heat can be recycled, energy saving and emission reduction can save 20-30 % of energy consumption.

Overpressure Alarm System

If overpressure occurs in the main furnace, the safety valve will automatically activate to relieve pressure. This can ensure the safety of both the equipment and personnel.

Torch Safety System

To address overpressure and storage risks from surplus pyrolysis gas and potential emergencies like power outages, a safe, highly automated torch system is installed as an emergency safeguard.

Nitrogen System

Nitrogen is introduced to reactor to replace air before ignition and slag discharge. It prevents flash explosions in the reactor and ensures safe and stable operation of the plastic to oil plant.

Why Plastic-to-Oil Makes Sense: A Comparative Outlook

Current plastic disposal and recycling methods remain limited in both scope and efficiency. Given that plastic bags are made from petroleum, they can be converted back into their original liquid oil form. In this context, plastic pyrolysis-to-oil solutions offer clear and compelling advantages.

Plastic Waste Burning and Incineration

Burning/Incineration

  • Environment pollution: Burning waste plastics releases around 850 million metric tons of greenhouse gases annually and may emit harmful chemicals.
  • Not achieve resource recycling: Burning waste plastics creates non-reusable ash while producing new plastic consumes 8-10% of the world’s petroleum.
Plastic Waste Landfill

Landfill or Leaked into Oceans

  • Land/Ocean pollution: Landfill occupies large amounts of land and pollute the soil. Leaking into oceans pollutes oceans and endangers the survival of marine life.
  • Slow natural degradation: It takes 20- 500 years or more for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. It can’t meet the increasing need for plastic disposal.
Plastic Waste Mechanical Recycling

Mechanical Recycling

  • Limited recycling times: Plastics are not infinitely mechanically recyclable (washing, grinding, pelletizing, etc.). Most plastics can only be recycled 3 to 7 times.
  • Reduced plastic quality: Recycled plastics may not perform as well as new ones, impacting market demand and the feasibility of large-scale recycling.
Plastic Pyrolysis into Oil

Plastic Pyrolysis into Oil

  • Better environmental compliance: Operates in low-oxygen conditions, minimizing toxic emissions like dioxins. Emission control systems further reduce environmental risks.
  • Resource recovery: Recycle oil from plastic waste, saving non-renewable petroleum resources.
  • High efficiency and scalability: Suit industrial application and solving the challenge of complex plastic waste streams.
