Process Origins: How Distillation Splits Pyrolysis Oil into Two Fractions

During pyrolysis, long-chain organic molecules break down and recombine, producing a three-phase output of gas, liquid, and solid. The liquid phase — pyrolysis oil — contains hydrocarbons ranging from C4 to above C30. Because of this broad carbon number distribution, pyrolysis oil naturally lends itself to fractional distillation by boiling point.

Distillation Principles and Operation

Industrial distillation works on a simple principle: hydrocarbon molecules of different carbon chain lengths boil at different temperatures. By controlling the distillation temperature, operators can therefore separate fractions by boiling range. In pyrolysis oil processing, producers typically set the cut point at 180°C–220°C, though this varies by equipment and target specification:

• Fractions collected below the cut point — carbon numbers in the C5–C10 range, boiling range approximately 30°C–200°C, light and transparent in appearance. This is the naphtha fraction.
• Fractions collected above the cut point — carbon numbers in the C10–C22 range, boiling range approximately 200°C–360°C, darker in colour. This is the non-standard diesel fraction.

Factors Affecting Yield Distribution

The output ratio between the two fractions is not fixed. Instead, several key variables influence it:

• Feedstock type: Waste tyre pyrolysis oil tends to produce a higher share of heavy fractions. By contrast, lightweight plastics such as PE film generate more light fractions.
• Pyrolysis temperature: Higher temperatures drive more complete cracking. Consequently, the share of light fractions generally increases.
• Cut point setting: A lower cut point raises naphtha yield but can reduce quality. Conversely, a higher cut point improves non-standard diesel consistency at the cost of naphtha recovery.

Core Comparison: Naphtha vs. Non-Standard Diesel

Separated from the same batch of pyrolysis oil, naphtha and non-standard diesel differ significantly in physical properties, chemical composition, end uses, and pricing logic. The table below summarises the key differences.

Industrial Applications of Pyrolysis Naphtha

Pyrolysis naphtha is rich in aromatics and light hydrocarbons, giving it several potential industrial applications. However, its high olefin content and complex impurity profile mean that buyers typically need either in-house refining capability or a defined tolerance for feedstock variability.

Solvent Oil and Industrial Cleaning Agents

This accessible market tolerates non-conventional feedstocks well. Rich in benzene, toluene, and xylene, this naphtha provides excellent solvency for degreasers, coatings, and ink thinners. Processors buy it directly for blending or simple distillation, grading and selling it as solvent oil.

BTX Extraction and Aromatic Chemicals

For aromatic-rich streams like waste tyre naphtha (20–40% BTX), isolation via extraction or distillation yields the highest value. These aromatics serve as precursors for styrene, resins, and dyes. However, strict quality needs and specialized equipment limit its current commercial scale.

Gasoline Blending Component

High aromatic content offers strong octane potential, making this naphtha theoretically viable for specialized fuel blending. However, strict automotive standards limit benzene, olefins, and vapour pressure. Without prior hydrotreatment, it cannot directly enter commercial road-use gasoline streams.

Hydrotreated Chemical-Grade Naphtha

Long-term, hydrotreating to remove olefins, sulphur, and nitrogen upgrades the product into chemical-grade naphtha. This premium feedstock supplies ethylene and propylene crackers, accessing high supply-chain value. However, massive capital requirements restrict this route to large-scale operations.

Industrial Applications of Non-Standard Diesel

Compared to naphtha, non-standard diesel has a narrower but more predictable range of applications, concentrated in industrial fuel markets. Its higher boiling range and relatively stable chemistry make it a workable fuel. However, elevated sulphur content shuts it out of road transport and other regulated fuel markets, confining it to industrial settings where sulphur emission requirements are less stringent.

Industrial Boilers and Kiln Fuel

This massive, stable outlet serves heavy industries like steel and paper. These sectors prioritize calorific value over strict sulphur limits, especially with desulphurisation systems. Offering comparable heat output at a discount, this diesel is highly attractive to high-volume industrial consumers.

Industrial Power Generation and Backup Power

Diesel generator sets in mining, ports, and remote areas provide another major application. These settings feature flexible fuel specifications and on-site storage. Facilities with captive power stations offer stable, long-term procurement, making them excellent direct-supply channels for pyrolysis producers.

Marine Fuel

Inland waterway vessels historically utilized this fuel under less stringent emission limits. However, as international and regional maritime regulations tighten globally, the compliant market window for unrefined diesel is narrowing. Producers targeting marine channels must closely monitor local port authority requirements.

Heavy Construction and Off-Road Machinery

Off-road machinery, including excavators and agricultural tractors, faces less rigorous fuel enforcement than on-road vehicles. Cost-conscious contractors frequently purchase this diesel to lower operating expenses. Though fragmented, this segment aggregates substantial volume, typically flowing through local intermediary traders.

Commercialization & Buyer Trust: Market Dynamics

When pyrolysis oil enters industrial markets, buyer trust—not price—is the primary barrier. Scepticism surrounding waste origins, batch consistency, and long-term reliability creates a distinct trust gap that varies across different oil fractions.

Regulatory Hurdles & Compliance Barriers

Pyrolysis oil products face compliance challenges across all major markets. Regulatory frameworks vary widely in maturity, creating significant uncertainty for both cross-border sales and local operations.

Conclusion: Refining Depth Determines Product Destiny

Pyrolysis diesel and naphtha reflect divergent pathways, but share one core logic: closer alignment with standard specifications unlocks stronger pricing power. Long-term competitiveness depends on refining depth rather than volume. As global circular economies advance, rising compliance thresholds are squeezing low-end markets. Producers integrating hydrotreating and quality certification will successfully transition from simple waste processors into highly valued, legally recognized recycled oil suppliers.

Limitations of Traditional Metal Smelting Reducing Agents

Metallurgical Industry Emissions

Carbon Policy & Trade Barriers

Resource & Supply Risks

Greenhouse Gas Emission Burden

• High emission share: According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the World Steel Association (WSA) in 2023, global metal production consumes approximately 1 billion tons of metallurgical coal annually. This generates around 3 billion tons of CO₂, accounting for roughly 8% of global emissions.
• High carbon footprint: In conventional blast furnace steelmaking, producing one ton of crude steel emits an average of 1.8–2.2 tons of CO₂. Such intensive emissions make the metallurgical industry one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize under the Paris Agreement.

Carbon Tax Policies and Trade Barriers

• Carbon border pressure: The formal implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) means that metal products exported to Europe must account for carbon emissions generated during production. High emissions from fossil coke directly undermine international competitiveness.
• Industry standards constraints: Standards such as ResponsibleSteel 2.0, as well as mandatory requirements from downstream industries (e.g., automotive, photovoltaic panels) for green raw materials, are pressuring steelmakers to seek alternatives to fossil coke.

Resource Depletion and Supply Instability

• Scarcity of high-quality coking coal: Metallurgical processes demand coal with strict limits on sulfur, phosphorus, and ash content. As global high-quality coking coal reserves decline, companies face both deteriorating fuel quality and rising beneficiation costs.
• Supply chain risks: For countries lacking domestic high-quality coking coal reserves (e.g., Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia), overreliance on fossil coal imports not only exposes them to currency fluctuations but also directly threatens national industrial security and stability.

Metallurgical Properties of Biochar

Applications of Biochar in Various Smelting Fields

Steelmaking

Industrial Silicon Production

Ferroalloy Production

Steelmaking

The steel industry is the largest consumer of fossil coke. Biochar introduction supports green transformation through several approaches:

• PCI Replacement: Biochar can partially replace pulverized coal injection (PCI) in blast furnaces. Its low sulfur content and high reactivity improve permeability at the furnace bottom and enhance smelting efficiency.
• EAF Slag Foaming Agent: In electric arc furnaces, biochar’s high surface area produces more uniform and stable foam slag, protecting the lining and reducing heat loss. It can replace graphite or anthracite while lowering the carbon footprint of EAF steel.

Industrial Silicon Production

Industrial silicon production requires extremely high-quality reductants. Biochar provides almost irreplaceable advantages in this field:

• Meet Low Impurity Requirements: Biochar’s naturally low ash and sulfur content make it ideal for solar-grade and semiconductor-grade silicon, ensuring high product purity.
• Improve Energy Efficiency: Biochar’s high electrical resistivity allows deeper and broader current distribution in submerged arc furnaces, ensuring uniform temperature and reducing thermal losses by 3%–5%.

Ferroalloy Production

In manganese, chromium, and silicon alloy production, biochar addresses long-standing high energy consumption and emissions challenges:

• Improve Reaction Kinetics: Biochar accelerates metal oxide reduction, lowers initial reaction temperatures, and shortens smelting cycles.
• Ensure Process Stability: Its stable mechanical strength and particle size maintain furnace permeability. Biochar supports the burden under high temperature and pressure, preventing collapse and ensuring continuous production.

Biochar Promotes the Sustainable Transition of Metal Smelting

In summary

The application of biochar in metallurgy represents more than a low-carbon innovation; it is a key driver for sustainable industrial transformation. From lowering carbon emissions and mitigating carbon tax exposure to securing major corporate orders and reducing production costs, biochar addresses environmental, policy, market, and operational dimensions. As technology matures and adoption spreads, biochar is poised to become an essential component of green smelting, helping companies maintain competitiveness and profitability while achieving environmental sustainability and unlocking economic value.

Project Background

Our customer, the initiator of this project, keenly recognized the potential of biochar as a reliable carbon removal pathway. By identifying almond shells as a valuable feedstock, the US customer saw an opportunity to move beyond low-value applications such as fuel or bulk sales. Their vision was to establish a biochar carbon removal project that converts waste into a durable carbon sink while creating certified carbon removal credits.

Challenges Faced

The US customer faced significant challenges with low-value utilization of almond shells. Traditional outlets, including raw sales or direct combustion, neither generated meaningful revenue nor aligned with the customer’s sustainability goals.

At the same time, the customer aimed to:

• Find a scalable technological solution to process almond shells efficiently.
• Establish a credible project model that could pass international carbon credit assessments.
• Unlock new commercial opportunities by entering the carbon removal market.

Goal for Change

The project set out with two clear goals with pyrolysis machine for biochar:

• Resource Conversion: The goal was to process almond shells into biochar. This is a stable material. And it enhances soil value while also serving as a long-term carbon storage medium.
• Carbon Credit Certification: The goal was to launch a certified biochar carbon removal project. And this would enable the generation and trade of verified credits on recognized platforms.

These objectives positioned the project at the intersection of resource utilization and climate innovation.
