Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel—the process ?
Waste Tire/Plastic Pyrolysis Plant / Date:August 14, 2019
Plastic pyrolysis plant converts plastic waste to liquid fuel, syn-gas, carbon black, etc. The systems use a continuous liquefaction technology alongside a unique breakdown process that turns waste materials into gases and liquids. By harnessing the power of thermal decomposition in an oxygen-starved environment, this process not only mitigates the strain on landfills and natural ecosystems but also contributes to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
The end products--plastic pyrolysis fuel oil can be used in many heavy industries, boiler, furnaces, etc. or further be refined into diesel fuel for diesel generators or heavy machinery, trucks, tractors, ships, etc.
Waste plastic pyrolysis to liquid fuel applications
Pyrolysis of plastic waste is: the process of converting waste plastic into industrial fuels like Pyrolysis Oil, Carbon Black and Hydrocarbon Gas. In pyrolysis as a process, the polymer waste is not burned, instead it is broken down. Plastic pyrolysis takes place in pyrolysis plant reactor under low oxygen or vacuum conditions .
Pyrolysis reactor creates the following process conditions to carry out waste plastic to liquid fuel oil pyrolysis process:
Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel pyrolysis plant
A wide array of plastics except PVC and PET can be processed andrecycled by plastic pyrolysis plant reactor, including polyethylene(PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), ABS, mixed plastic,paper mill waste, medical plastic waste, domestic and constructionplastic waste, plastic woven bags, plastic agricultural plastic films,glass fibers, fan blade scraps, etc.
Waste plastic materials suitable for pyrolysis into oil
Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel—the process
Firstly, make reactor rotate clockwise 0.4r/min, put raw material into reactor, close feeding door.
Waste plastic feeding requirements:Before feeding, it is best to keep the waste plastic dry to reduce energy consumption and speed up pyrolysis efficiency. If you adopt the semi-continuous or fully continuous type waste plastic pyrolysis plant, the plastic waste needs to be shredded into small pieces or pellets, enhancing surface area exposure to heat.
Secondly, burn the fuel materials(coal, or wood, or natural gas, oil )in the furnace. Waste plastic pyrolysis plant reactor will be slowly heated. When the temperature reaches around 180°C, oil gas will come out. Then go to the cooling system and liquid to oil.
Some un-condensable gas which can't cool down will lead to furnace through a gas pipe. It will be used to heat pyrolysis reactor. This can save your energy. Only the first 2 hours use energy for heating. After the first 2 hours, mainly using gas, little energy is OK.
After pyrolysis, all the oil gas comes out from plastic oil pyrolysis reactor, the temperature will fall. Then make it rotate anticlockwise, carbon black discharging begins.
Pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel-the working process
This is the whole process of plastic waste to liquid fuel. We have to say that in the face of mounting plastic waste and the global quest for sustainable energy sources, the pyrolysis of plastic waste to liquid fuel conversion process emerges as an effective and profitable solution for waste plastic recycling and environmental responsibility.
