What are the types of materials pyrolysis equipment can process?

The design principle of the pyrolysis equipment is based on pyrolysis/ cracking/ decomposition technology, which is a process of heating organic materials in the absence of oxygen to decompose them. Pyrolysis technology is applicable to dispose of various carbon-containing organic wastes. Generally speaking, the pyrolysis equipment can efficiently process the following types of waste materials:

Pyrolysis equipment processing materials

1. Waste rubber: Not only a variety of truck/ car/ bicycle tires, etc., all types of waste rubber products can be converted into useful resources through pyrolysis equipment. These waste rubber products include but are not limited to waste hoses, waste tapes, waste rubber shoes, waste rubber cable skins and waste rubber yoga mats and other sundries.

2. Waste plastics: In addition to PVC and PET plastics, basically all plastics can be pyrolyzed by pyrolysis equipment for fuel oil and syn-gas production, including common plastic wastes such as polyethylene (PE/HDPE/LDPE), polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene(PS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS). In addition, related plastic products can also be processed by pyrolysis equipment, such as retired wind turbine blade crushing materials, paper mill scraps, battery wrapping skins, plastic food packaging bags, woven bags, waste capacitors, acrylic, discarded car bumpers, toothpaste skins, solar panels, agricultural mulch/films, hollow boards/sheets, plastic yard sign boards, etc.

3. Oil sludge and oil residue: waste generated during oil extraction and processing, containing a large amount of unextracted oil components. Pyrolysis equipment can process various types of oily sludge (HWO8) such as drilling sludge, ground sludge, tank cleaning sludge, ship bottom oil gas, tank bottom sludge, steel mill sludge, oily slag soil, etc. It can also process coal tar residue, oily contaminants, oil-based drilling cuttings and other oily sludge hazardous wastes.

4. Aluminum-plastic composite materials: such as pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging, waste aluminum foil, etc., can be separated from the plastic components through pyrolysis equipment for oilification, and the remaining products are basically aluminum blocks, which can be re-cast into aluminum ingots.

5. Various types of solid waste: solid waste containing organic components, such as domestic waste, medical waste, urban construction waste, etc., can also be cracked under certain conditions, but attention should be paid to the separation and pretreatment process.

6. Biomass: including but not limited to straw, rice husks, wood chips, fruit shells, coconut shells, palm bark and fruit cores, etc.

The versatility of pyrolysis equipment is not only reflected in the wide applicability of raw materials, but also in the diversified products it produces. For example, the main product produced during the pyrolysis process is fuel oil, which can be used as an alternative energy source for industrial combustion and reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels. It can also be refined into non-standard diesel by waste oil distillation equipment for further applications.In addition, by-products such as carbon black, steel wire and combustible gas may be produced during the pyrolysis process. These by-products have a wide range of uses in their respective fields. For example, carbon black can be used as a raw material for rubber manufacturing, and steel wire can be recycled and reused. The combustible gas is used to recycle the heating reactor, which can save the cost of operating the entire pyrolysis equipment.
