What is the advantage and disadvantage of using pyrolysis technology to convert plastic to oil?

Industry News / Date:08-30-2019

Nowadays, pyrolysis technology is more and more widely used in the waste plastic management instead of landfill or recovery through granulation. Everything has two sides, and let's see what is the general advantage and disadvantage of this plastic pyrolysis oil technology in the following article.

Advantages of using pyrolysis technology to convert plastic to oil:

1. High efficiency

Pyrolysis technology is suitable for almost all kinds of waste plastic except PVC and PET, no matter if it is clean or unwashed and unsorted. For a batch waste plastic pyrolysis plant, there is even no need to do the shredding work. All the processes from plastic to fuel oil are carried out inside the waste pyrolysis reactor together with its accessory system, very convenient and man-power saving.

2. Resource Recover

Pyrolysis plant allows for the recovery of valuable resources from plastic waste, such as fuel oil, carbon black, and combustible gas. This helps in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and conserving natural resources.

(1)The obtained plastic oil is a good heating fuel for heavy industries, such as boiler heating factories, heavy oil power plants, steel factories, cement factories, glass factories, etc. And it can also be refined into diesel fuel for further uses.

(2)The carbon black can be briquetted by heating or refining for further uses. You can also sell it directly.
(3)Syn-gas can be directly used for heating waste plastic pyrolysis plant, saving machine operation cost.

3. High profit

(1)Economic benefits

Waste plastic such as PE(polyethylene), PP(polypropylene), PS(polystyrene) and ABS, etc. has higher oil yield above 50%, which means from the above 10ton waste plastic, you can extract at least 10tonx50%=5ton pyrolysis fuel oil. And the waste plastic is cheap and easy to collect. Some governments even publish policies and give subsidies for developing waste plastic recycling projects. It is a process to convert waste into new energy, so this project is absolutely profitable.

(2)Environmental benefits

Converting plastic waste into oil via pyrolysis plant can help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution associated with plastic waste. It provides an environmentally friendly method of waste management.

Disadvantage of using pyrolysis technology to convert plastic to oil:

1. High Initial Investment

Setting up a waste plastic to fuel oil pyrolysis plant requires a substantial initial investment. This includes the cost of acquiring land, machinery, obtaining licenses, and complying with safety and environmental regulations. It will take time, effort, and capital.

2. Technical Complexity

Plastic to oil pyrolysis technology requires skilled personnel to operate and maintain the equipment. Technical expertise and intelligent monitoring are necessary to ensure efficient operation and optimum product quality.

From a comprehensive comparison, the advantages of using pyrolysis technology to convert plastic to oil outweigh the disadvantages. Plastic to oil pyrolysis technology is very good, but you need to be careful to choose the right pyrolysis plant supplier. High-quality suppliers can help your plastic pyrolysis project achieve twice the result with half the effort.
