The production and consumption of plastic have caused significant environmental pollution. In order to extend the lifespan of plastic, plastic to fuel machine is introduced to transform post-consumer plastic into reusable fuel. This project is not only about innovative equipment but also exemplifies a comprehensive solution. It can bring dual benefits in terms of both the economy and the environment.
Why Turn Plastic into Fuel?
Non-biodegradable to Renewable
Most post-consumer plastic waste cannot be degraded even after hundreds or thousands of years. The stable polymer structure of plastics can resist degradation by microorganisms and enzymes. Therefore, converting plastic into oil can achieve the transformation of waste resources into renewable resources. This not only reduces the burden of natural degradation of plastics, but also provides a new source for the demand for alternative fuels.
Reduce Ecological pollution
Plastics in daily life endanger the survival, reproduction and environment of organisms. After plastic waste enters the natural environment, it has a long-term negative impact on organisms and may even cause the death of organisms. In addition, the harmful chemicals contained in plastics can pollute soil and water bodies, further threatening the ecosystem and human health. Converting plastics into fuel can effectively reduce the pollution of plastics to the environment.
Avoid Resource Waste
More than 10% of global oil consumption is used for plastic production. However, only 10% of waste plastics can be effectively recycled. Most of the remaining plastic waste is landfilled or incinerated, which causes an extreme waste of fossil resources. Through the resource cycle model of “fossil fuel-plastic-renewable fuel”, recyclers can make full use of the energy value in waste plastics.Thus, this maximizes the utilization rate of waste resources
In-depth Insight into Plastic to Fuel Machine
Plastic to fuel machine uses pyrolysis as its core technology. This technology converts high molecular polymer structure in the plastic into small molecular hydrocarbons under closed high temperature conditions. The liquid component of these small molecular hydrocarbons is plastic pyrolysis oil, and the gas component is syngas. Both are valuable alternative fuels. By adjusting the operating parameters, the machine can change the ratio of pyrolysis oil and syngas. It is worth mentioning that catalytic technology is currently widely used in plastic pyrolysis machine.
Which Types of Plastic are Suitable for Plastic to Fuel Machine?
There are many types of plastics. According to their composition, plastics are mainly divided into PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS, PU, PE, etc. Among these types, the following plastics can be processed into plastic oil by pyrolysis machine:

How to Convert Waste Plastic to Fuel?
In this pyrolysis process, the waste plastics are converted into fuel. Here are the steps involved in converting plastic to fuel:
Sorting and Pre-treatment
The first step is to sort the plastic waste by type and remove any non-plastic materials. The plastic is then shredded into small pieces to facilitate pyrolysis.
01
Heating
02
Pyrolysis Oil & Syngas Formation
- Pyrolysis Oil: High-temperature oil and gas enter the manifold and catalytic tower to separate heavy oil substances and wax oil impurities. The purified oil and gas enter the condenser, where the oil and gas can be condensed to form plastic pyrolysis oil.
- Syngas: The flue condenser and water seal purify the non-condensable oil gas to form syngas, which provides heat source for the pyrolysis reaction again.
03
Emission Gas Treatment
The emission gases can be treated to remove pollutants by a de-dusting system before being released into the atmosphere. The dedusting system includes condenser and atomization tower. Beston Group provides customized de-dusting system to meet the emission requirement in the local area. Send your demand to Beston Group.
04
Solid Discharging
After the volatile hydrocarbons in the plastic are completely involved in the pyrolysis reaction, solid residues are left, which are discharged through a water-cooled discharger.
05
The Plastic Oil Rate in the Pyrolysis Process
The plastic oil rate varies depending on several factors, including the type of plastic waste being processed, the quality of the waste plastic to fuel conversion plant, and the operating conditions of the machine. Generally, the plastic oil rate ranges from 20% to 90% of the total weight of the plastic waste.
The type of plastic waste being processed can have a significant impact on the plastic oil rate. Some types of plastic, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, have a higher plastic oil rate than others, such as PP and PE. This is because the molecular structure of these plastics is more conducive to the pyrolysis process.
Application Scenarios of Plastic Fuel Oil
The application scenarios of plastic pyrolysis oil are diverse and can be used in a variety of industries. By utilizing plastic fuel, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and help to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste. Some of the most common application scenarios of plastic oil include:
| Application | Practical Use |
|---|---|
| Industrial Heating | Used as fuel for industrial heating applications, such as in cement factories and boilers. |
| Power Generation | Used as fuel in diesel engines or generators to produce electricity. |
| Transportation | Blended with conventional fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, for use in vehicles and ships. |
| Chemical Production | Used as a feedstock in the production of chemicals like benzene, toluene, and xylene. |
| Lubricants | Refined to produce lubricants and other high-value products. |
| Asphalt Production | Used as a binder in the production of asphalt for road construction. |
