Developing country’s “foreign waste” import ban has reshaped global waste flows, leaving Europe and North America unable to export plastic waste as before. Finland, with its strong environmental awareness, faces the same challenge. To tackle this, Corsair Group has decided to build a pilot plant with Beston Group’s plastic to oil machine, aiming to demonstrate a sustainable and circular pathway for plastic waste.
In a plastic to oil plant, wax oil residues often cause blockages and downtime. The catalytic liquefaction technology breaks down these heavy components, ensuring smooth operation without clogging or equipment failure. As a result, the plastic pyrolysis machine can run continuously and improve production efficiency by up to 200%.
During plastic to oil process, catalytic system converts heavy wax oil into lighter hydrocarbons. This transformation not only enhances the stability of the fuel but also improves its combustion performance. With fewer impurities and better consistency, the oil from the machine is suitable for a wider range of applications.
Plastic oil plant provides comprehensive solutions for processing different types of plastics. Below, we’ll take a closer look at the compatibility of plastic to oil pyrolysis equipment with various plastic types. Thus, learn about their oil yield, origin, and unique properties.
In a waste plastic to oil machine, waste plastics do not change into oil instantly. The transformation happens step by step at the molecular level. By looking at how polymer chains break down and reshape, we can understand how solid plastics gradually become liquid fuel oil:
At high temperatures, carbon–carbon or carbon–hydrogen bonds in the polymer chain break. The long chains split, and unstable free radicals form.
Radicals move along the chain and attack nearby bonds. Through β-scission, long chains transform into shorter fragments, C₅–C₂₀ range hydrocarbons form.
Free radicals couple, or they take a hydrogen atom from another molecule. As a result, chain ends close and stable small molecules form pyrolysis oil.
The waste plastic to oil machine is an innovative solution for managing plastic waste and generating usable fuel. It can help reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or oceans while providing a sustainable source of fuel. The process typically involves several stages, including pretreatment, feeding, plastic to oil conversion, discharging, de-dusting, and syngas recycling.
The pretreatment process involves sorting and cleaning the plastic waste. It’s essential to remove any contaminants, which can negatively impact the conversion process. The cleaned and sorted plastic waste is then shredded into small pieces for easier handling and processing.
Customers have three feeding methods to choose from: manual feeding, hydraulic feeding, and screw feeding. Each model of the plastic to oil machine corresponds to different feed sizes. Please refer to the table below for details:
| Model | BLJ-16 | BLL-30 |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Feeding | bale<1200mm | / |
| Hydraulic Feeding | bale<1200mm | / |
| Spiral Feed | bale<50mm | bale<20mm |
Waste gas is first cooled in the flue condenser, then further cooled and dust-removed in the spray tower. For high emission standard areas, high-end exhaust gas treatment systems provide desulfurization and denitrification. The treated gas meets EU standards before discharge from the chimney.
Currently, about 350 million tons of plastic waste are generated every year. Less than 10% of this waste is recycled back into products. The rest ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment. Introducing plastic-to-oil machines can convert contaminated or low-value waste plastics into usable pyrolysis oil and by-products. This process significantly increases recycling rates and reduces environmental emissions.
We need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in the long term. Yet, in the short to medium term, energy demand, transport fuels, and industrial raw materials still face a gap. Geopolitical tensions and emission targets also make traditional supply less stable. Plastic to oil plant can produce alternative fuels or chemical feedstocks. This helps fill fuel gap and provides a reliable energy for industrial and transport sectors.
The plastic pyrolysis market was valued at several hundred million USD in 2023 and is expected to grow several times by 2030. Segments like pyrolysis oil also show steady growth. Using plastic to oil machine not only processes waste plastics but also produces saleable pyrolysis oil and by-products. At the same time, it opens multiple revenue channels, including processing fees and carbon credits, improving project profitability.
Cutting-edge technology has always been the main reason why investors choose Beston Group‘s plastic to oil machine. What’s more, our technical team has always been committed to the R&D of more advanced technologies. Here are some of the great technologies that make our machines stand out.
The high-end exhaust gas treatment system mainly consists of an activated carbon dust collector, electrostatic precipitator, denitrification tower, desulfurization tower, and chemical feeding tank. This system removes dust particles and nitrogen sulfide from exhaust gas through multi-channel equipment. The final exhaust gas can meet the following emission standards: SO₂＜50 mg/m³, NOₓ＜200 mg/m³, PM＜10 mg/m³, HCl＜10 mg/m³, HF＜1 mg/m³.
Wax oil can clog the pipe from the plastic to the oil machine. Beston Group offers two solutions to deal with this problem.
Beston Group provides innovative sealing technology. The technology consists of a combined seal of high-carbon fiber packing rings and high-temperature flexible soft fillers. This technology can greatly improve the high-temperature sealing and operation convenience. The technology is currently used on BLL-30 and machines equipped with catalytic configurations.
The Internet of Things system (optional) ensures real-time feedback on operating status and timely diagnosis of faults. Customers can set corresponding early warning values for each parameter based on the properties of the monitoring data. When the monitoring data triggers an early warning, customers can view the equipment’s operating data and fault information in real-time.
Plastic to oil machine plays a key role in our mission to solve the global plastic waste problem. With its efficiency and eco-friendly technology, it helps convert plastic waste into valuable resources, contributing to a more sustainable future. We are committed to advancing plastic waste management solutions and promoting a circular economy.
