Faced with severe plastic pollution, plastic pyrolysis plant is becoming an effective waste reduction and recycling solution. It can tackle plastic pollution crisis by converting plastic waste into valuable pyrolysis oil. Now please read to learn about this new technology and find new business opportunities. Welcome to contact Beston Group to get an effective plastic pyrolysis solution.
Plastic Pyrolysis Plant – Reduction and Resourcing Solution
A plastic pyrolysis plant is a specialized industrial facility designed to thermally decompose plastic waste materials into valuable pyrolysis oil through a process called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs when organic materials, like plastics, are heated in the absence of oxygen. This process is an environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic waste and recover useful resources.
Waste Reduction
Over 400 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide each year,
with 1/3 of it being used only once. Pyrolysis extractly thermally
decomposes plastics into oil.
- Reduce the volume of accumulated plastic waste
- Lessen the reliance on landfills and incineration facilities
- Improves environmental quality
Waste Resourcing
For professionals looking to upcycle discarded plastic resources,
plastic to oil machine is a great choice. It transforms waste
plastic into valuable pyrolysis oil, which can find versatile applications
in various industries.
- Reduce dependence on finite fossil fuel resources
- Promote circle economy development
Unique Patent – Plastic Catalytic Pyrolysis Technology
Beston Group has developed a unique patent, gaseous-phase plastic catalytic pyrolysis technology. If interested, please contact us anytime.
Industry Challenge: Wax Formation in Plastic Pyrolysis
During the pyrolysis process, certain operational conditions or raw material compositions lead to the generation of high-molecular hydrocarbons (such as paraffin wax). These substances, when the temperature drops, solidify into wax-like compounds that attach to the inner surfaces of equipment. This results in several issues:
- Decreased Oil Quality: The presence of high-melting-point solid wax in the oil diminishes its flowability and performance, directly affecting the usability and saleability of the pyrolysis oil.
- Equipment Blockage: The high viscosity of wax oil can easily clog pipelines, causing pressure buildup in the system, which leads to potential safety hazards.
- Increased Maintenance Frequency: The accumulation of wax deposits may require frequent cleaning, thus increasing the maintenance costs of the equipment.
Technological Solution: Catalytic Pyrolysis Technology
This exclusive patented technology utilizes a catalytic tower and special catalysts to decompose paraffin wax oils produced during plastic pyrolysis. Not only does it enhance the quality of the pyrolysis oil, but it also effectively resolves the issue of wax oil blockages.
You can choose a dual-tower configuration or a single-tower configuration. In the dual-catalyst system, 1270 kilograms of catalyst are added in each batch, evenly distributed between the two catalytic towers. In the single-catalyst system, the catalyst is added to a single tower and does not need to be completely filled.

Selection Guide of Plastic Raw Materials to Pyrolysis
In fact, not all plastics are suitable for pyrolysis. So here is the information about acceptable and unacceptable plastic raw materials for you. Please read.
Kindly reminder: Sample testing is available. If you’re unsure whether your plastic is fit for pyrolysis, you can send us intact, leak-proof samples. Each sample should have a diameter under 2cm and weigh at least 5kg per type.
Acceptable Waste Plastic Types
- PE (Polyethylene);
- PP (Polypropylene);
- PS (Polystyrene);
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene);
- Others.
Unacceptable Waste Plastic Types
- PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate);
- PVC(Polyvinyl Chloride).
NOTE: The two are unacceptable because their pyrolysis produces toxic gases and low oil yield.
Plastic Pyrolysis Oil Yield – from Different Types of Plastic
Now please take a look at the plastic pyrolysis oil yield of different types of plastics. For better oil yield, it is advisable to process a single type of plastic. PE/PP/PS are good options. Utilizing pyrolysis to process mixed plastics is also possible, but it will require more process control and separation steps.
Application Scenarios of Plastic Pyrolysis Oil
Fuel Alternatives
Plastic pyrolysis oil has a high calorific value, providing a stable fuel supply and the required heat energy in industrial production. This includes industrial sites such as glass factories, steel factories, power plants, ceramic factories, cement factories, etc.
Further Processing
- Investors can purchase distillation equipment to process pyrolysis oil to obtain naphtha;
- Refineries can refine pyrolysis oil and convert it into commercial gasoline and diesel.
Plastic Reproduction
Plastic pyrolysis oil can be used in plastic remanufacturing processes. This production model realizes a closed loop of resources in the plastics industry. And this reduces the need for new plastic production. This reduces the consumption of natural resources.

Operation Flows of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Machine
01 Pretreatment
Generally, with a dryer and crusher, moisture is removed, and large plastic items are crushed into small pieces. This helps to accelerate pyrolysis reaction and effectively save energy.
02 Feeding
03 Pyrolysis
Wait for pyrolysis temperatures to rise between 280 and 450°C.
Heating process initiates a series of decomposition and volatilization reactions, ultimately yielding large amount of oil-gas mixture.
04 Oil Gas Treatment
The oil gas coming out from the reactor then goes to condensing system.
- Most of the light particles of oil gas liquefies into pyrolysis oil.
- Heavy particles of the oil gas (mainly oil dregs) will be repushed into the reactor for re-pyrolysis.
- Un-condensed gas is recycled back to combuster for usd as fuel to sustain the pyrolysis process.
05 Solid Residue Discharge
06 Combustible Gas & Exhaust Gas Treatment
