How Does A Continuous Pyrolysis Plant Work?
1. Continuous Sealed Feeding
A sealed, multi-stage airlock screw feeder conveys the prepared material into the main reactor. Air is strictly excluded through nitrogen inerting to maintain an anaerobic environment.
2. High-Temperature Anaerobic Pyrolysis
Inside the main reactor, the material is heated indirectly (typically between 300°C and 400°C). Under high temperature without oxygen, organic polymers break into light hydrocarbon vapors (oil gas) and solid carbon residue.
3. Oil Gas Condensation & Oil Collection
The oil gas enters the spray system, where it separates into heavy and light oil at approximately 200°C. The two fractions then flow into their corresponding oil storage tanks respectively. Non-condensable syngas is routed to a hydroseal for safety washing.
4. Syngas Recycling & Energy Recovery
The scrubbed syngas is directed back into the reactor’s combustion chamber as auxiliary fuel. This makes the plant self-sustaining during continuous operation, significantly lowering external heating costs.
5. Water-Cooled Continuous Discharge
Solid carbon black or residue is transported out of the reactor via a sealed, water-cooled screw conveyor. This cools the hot char to below 50°C before exposure to air, preventing self-combustion.
6. Flue Gas Purification & De-dusting
Exhaust gases pass through a multi-stage emission purification system—including water spray, desulfurization, and denitrification—to ensure compliance with EU environmental standards.

Light oil is the lower-boiling-point fraction of pyrolysis oil, characterized by low viscosity and good flowability. Main applications include:
- Refined into naphtha for steam cracking to produce ethylene and propylene.
- Used as an industrial or laboratory solvent.
- Used as an alternative fuel.
Non-Standard Diesel
Non-standard diesel is the higher-boiling-point fraction of pyrolysis oil, with properties similar to commercial diesel but not fully meeting national standard requirements. Main applications include:
- Used as fuel for industrial boilers, kilns, and heating systems.
- Used as fuel for heavy-oil generator sets.
- Used as fuel for construction and agricultural machinery.
Gasoline Blending Components
Gasoline blending components are recovered from surplus non-condensable combustible gas. Its aromatic hydrocarbon content reaches 65%. Main application:
- Used as a high-octane component for commercial gasoline blending to improve performance.
Recovered Carbon Black (rCB)
rCB comes from continuous tyre pyrolysis plants, serving as a sustainable alternative to virgin carbon black.
- Tire Manufacturing: It can be reintegrated into the tire production process, either partially replacing virgin carbon black or as a performance-enhancing filler, contributing to sustainable tire development.
- Industrial Materials: rCB can be used in the production of cement, asphalt inks, coatings, and various industrial composites.
Syngas
Syngas is a gaseous product generated during pyrolysis, primarily composed of CO, H₂, CH₄, and CO₂. Key applications:
- Self-Sustaining Heating: Recycled as clean fuel to power the continuous pyrolysis reactor.
- Value-Added Synthesis: Excess syngas (particularly from plastic pyrolysis) is converted into high-value gasoline blending components via Beston’s specialized system.

FAQ of Blackgold P30 Continuous Pyrolysis Plant
01 What are the feed size requirements for fully continuous pyrolysis plant?
- Plastic Flakes / Pellets: < 20 mm
- Tire Rubber Powder / Shreds: < 15 mm
| Raw Materials | Feeding Method | Feeding Size |
|---|---|---|
| Waste Plastic | Shafted Screw Conveyor | Less than 20 mm |
| 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 How many workers are required to operate the continuous pyrolysis machine?
The fully continuous pyrolysis plant runs in three shifts, with a minimum 3 workers per shift: 1 central control operator, 1 feeding & slagging operator, and 1 field inspector. One welder and one electrician work on day shifts for maintenance. Total headcount: 11.
03 What is the preheating time and fuel consumption for the continuous pyrolysis plant?
The continuous pyrolysis reactor requires 3–4 hours of preheating. Feeding can start once the main reactor reaches 300–350°C. The hot air heating system is equipped with a 2.0–2.5 million kcal burner. During preheating, fuel consumption is 900–1200 L of fuel oil, or natural gas at 100–180 m³/h.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Preheating time | 3–4 hours |
| Burner capacity | 2.0–2.5 million kcal |
| Fuel consumption | 900–1,200 L fuel oil or 100–180 m³/h natural gas |
04 Can syngas sustain the continuous pyrolysis plant itself? Is additional fuel required?
In normal operation, syngas from plastic pyrolysis can fuel the hot blast stove on its own. Only the permanent flare pilot needs a small natural gas supplement, about 11–15 m³/h.
Alternatively, the large volume of pyrolysis gas can be routed directly to the gas-to-gasoline-blending-component unit for conversion. It’s then returned to the continuous plastic pyrolysis plant as fuel. Any surplus gas goes to the flare system for burn-off.
05 What temperature can the continuous pyrolysis reactor withstand?
The temperature limit for a 304 stainless steel main reactor is 600–700°C, while the 310S version can withstand up to 1035°C.
06 What is the manufacturing lead time for the Blackgold P30?
07 What is the difference between continuous and batch pyrolysis plants?
| Difference | Continuous (Blackgold P30) | Batch (BLJ-16) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Capacity | 13–30 T/D | 12–16 T/D |
| Operation Mode | 24/7 Uninterrupted continuous feeding & discharging | Stop & Start (Requires cooling down after every batch) |
| Automation & Labor | Automated PLC control; minimal labor required | Manual/semi-automated; requires more labor per ton |
| Emission Control | EU-standard dedusting system | Standard dedusting system |
Which one should you choose?
- Choose Batch if you have a limited initial budget, uncertain raw material supply, or want to perform small-scale testing.
- Choose Continuous if you have large-scale daily waste (20+ tons/day), high environmental compliance standards, or seek maximum profit margins through 24/7 continuous operation.
