Pyrolysis Plant in South Africa: Plastic/Tyre/Oil Sludge Recycling Solution
Plastic Recycling
- Local Challenge: South Africa generates between 2.37 million and 2.4 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. With a per capita plastic waste generation of around 41 kg/year, South Africa exceeds the global average of 29 kg/year.
- Plastic Types for Pyrolysis: PE, PP, PS, ABS, and other plastics without chlorine and oxygen.
- End Pyrolysis Products: plastic pyrolysis oil, solid residues, combustible gas.
Tyre Recycling
- Local Challenge: South Africa generates between 12 million and 16 million waste tires annually. In terms of weight, an estimated 170,266 tonnes of waste tyres are produced each year.
- Tyre Types for Pyrolysis: various discarded tires from vehicles
- End Pyrolysis Products: tyre pyrolysis oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas.
Oil Sludge Recycling
- Local Challenge: In 2023, the South African government announced plans to intensify oil and gas exploration to enhance energy security and industrialization. This will lead to a substantial amount of hazardous oil sludge that requires proper management.
- Oil Sludge Types for Pyrolysis: drilling cuttings, tank bottom oil sludge, scum bottom mud, oil-contaminated soil, etc.
- End Pyrolysis Products: pyrolysis oil, combustible gas, and other solid residues.
