What's the pyrolysis process of producing fuel from polypropylene plastic?

Polypropylene plastic(PP Plastic) is the most versatile general-purpose thermoplastic and, therefore, accounts for the largest share of plastic waste. In order to improve the resource utilization rate of waste plastics, the plastic pyrolysis plant can be used to turn polypropylene plastic into fuel. So what is the pyrolysis process of polypropylene plastic to produce fuel? Here I will explain it in detail.

How to convert polypropylene plastic to fuel oil?

The waste polypropylene plastic to fuel pyrolysis process uses the principle of pyrolysis to convert high molecular compounds into a variety of low molecular compounds. Plastic pyrolysis plant can break the polyolefin macromolecular chain of polypropylene plastic, thereby decomposing it into small molecules. Therefore, waste plastic is pyrolyzed into oil and gas through our plastic pyrolysis plant at low temperature.

The oil and gas are cooled into liquid oil through a cooling system, and finally oil and carbon black are obtained. And the non-condensable combustible gas will be further purified then directly used to heating the pyrolysis reactor and the exhausted gas will be purfied by our environmental protection devices and be emissied.

The final product

This polypropylene plastic oil can be used as fuel in various heavy industrial plants such as steel plants, cement plants, boiler plants, power plants or some agricultural equipment. But if your country has less heavy industry, then you can further refine the oil into non-specified diesel through our distillery, distill the oil to remove paraffin and gum, then decolorize and deodorize, and finally get diesel. This diesel can be used in diesel generators, heavy machinery, engines, boilers, etc.

After more than 11 years of exploration and technology update, the pyrolysis efficiency of DOING plastic pyrolysis plant has further improved. And through the unique four-stage cooling system, the oil yield of pure polypropylene plastic can reach 90%. There is no doubt it can create great profits for you.
