Oil sludge pyrolysis plant is rapidly becoming the preferred solution for treating oily waste. In the global petroleum industry, oil sludge is ecologically harmful and expensive to treat. Pyrolysis technology decomposes oil sludge through high temperatures. This method not only effectively reduces the volume of waste, but also obtains valuable pyrolysis oil. More importantly, oil sludge, a hazardous waste, can be treated harmlessly. Therefore, the machine’s unique environmental and economic benefits make it popular among investors.
To understand the reaction mechanism of oil sludge treatment plant, we must first understand its material composition. As hazardous waste originating from oil extraction, storage and refining, its composition is quite complex. The main components of oil sludge include:
Oil sludge pyrolysis occurs in a high-temperature, oxygen-free environmen. Then, the complex organic matter in the sludge undergoes thermal decomposition under closed conditions. This process breaks the molecular bonds of long-chain compounds, forming simpler hydrocarbons. Such a thermal desorption process generates three main products:
This clean fuel is derived from the pyrolysis of light and heavy hydrocarbons. It mainly contains some short-chain alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. It has the following main uses:
Syngas comes from the non-condensable components of small molecular hydrocarbons formed by pyrolysis It includes methane, ethylene, hydrogen, etc. It has the following main uses:
After oil and gas are formed and released from oil sludge pyrolysis plant, the remaining inorganic minerals constitute solid residue. Solid residue is often used to add to building materials:
There are 2 main types of oil sludge pyrolysis plants, namely batch and continuous pyrolysis equipment. These 2 types of equipment have their own characteristics in terms of treatment methods, production capacity and operational complexity.
The following are the detailed parameters of each type of equipment:

To give you a better understanding of the detailed process of oil sludge pyrolysis plant, a comprehensive 3D video demonstration is provided below. Thus, you can understand each step from feed to final product in a process-oriented way. For more information on pyrolysis, please visit our YouTube channel!
Before and after the reaction, the nitrogen system introduces inert nitrogen into the main furnace to remove excess oxygen and pyrolysis oil gas, preventing flash explosions. Additionally, when overpressure occurs, the main furnace automatically opens the safety valve to release pressure, avoiding equipment failure due to overpressure.
Oil sludge pyrolysis reactor adopts a combined floating seal made of carbon fiber and high-temperature soft filler. Compared to traditional graphene filler seals, it is more resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and wear, ensuring the system’s sealing performance and long-term stable operation.
The hot air heating method ensures more uniform heating and precise temperature control. Compared to traditional direct heating, it is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It also reduces energy consumption by 20%-30% while enhancing the safety and efficiency of the oil sludge treatment plant.
In the batch system, the material rotates synchronously with the friction block, improving thermal conductivity and slowing down coking. The continuous equipment uses hot air heating combined with high-temperature catalysts to prevent coking from overheating. Additionally, a mesh chain friction structure is included to efficiently remove coke.
