How should solid waste raw materials be stored before pyrolyzed?
Industry News / Date:April 22, 2025
The pyrolysis process is an effective method for converting solid waste raw materials into useful products like fuel, carbon black, and gas. However, an efficient and environmentally friendly solid waste raw material management is important for the smooth operation of the waste pyrolysis project. Proper storage ensures that the materials maintain their desired properties and are processed efficiently. Here are some key points to consider:
Solid waste raw material storage method
1.Separate Storage of solid waste raw materials
Different types of solid waste materials should be stored separately. Because the melting points, oil composition properties and outputs of raw materials such as waste plastics, tires and rubber are different. If they are mixed together, the quality of the resulting oil will be greatly reduced. Additionally, separating materials facilitates the pre - processing of raw materials, such as shredding and screening, allowing for targeted treatment based on the characteristics of each material.
2.Dry Storage of solid waste raw materials
Solid waste raw materials should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture from affecting the pyrolysis effect. Wastes such as paper mill scraps with high moisture content can reduce the heating efficiency during pyrolysis, increase energy consumption, and may also lead to the generation of more harmful gases. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a dry storage location and, if possible, use dehumidification equipment to maintain the dryness of the storage environment.
3.Keep solid waste raw materials well ventilated
The storage area should be well - ventilated to avoid the accumulation of harmful gases and odors produced by the waste. Good ventilation can also help to reduce the temperature in the storage area and prevent spontaneous combustion or other safety accidents. At the same time, it is beneficial to the working environment of the operators.
4.Safe Storage of solid waste raw materials
Some solid waste raw materials may have certain hazards, such as waste plastics containing heavy metals or waste rubber with flammable substances. Therefore, safety measures must be taken during storage. The storage area should be equipped with anti - explosion devices and fire - fighting equipment, such as firewalls and fire-fighting equipment to prevent fires and explosions. At the same time, the stacking height of the materials should be reasonable to avoid collapse and injury. Regular inspections of the storage area should also be conducted to promptly identify and address safety hazards.
5. Anti - Pest and Anti - Rodent Measures
Pests and rodents can damage the packaging of solid waste raw materials and contaminate the waste. Therefore, anti - pest and anti - rodent measures should be taken, such as setting up pest - control devices and rodent - proof nets, to keep the storage environment clean and hygienic.
6.Proper Packaging and Stacking of solid waste raw materials
The waste should be properly packaged and stacked to facilitate storage and transportation. Use appropriate packaging materials, such as plastic bags, woven bags, or storage bins, to store the waste. Stack the waste neatly to make full use of the storage space and ensure the stability of the stack to prevent collapse.
