What is Plastic to Oil Process?
The plastic to oil process 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 fuel conversion, discharging, de-dusting, and syngas recycling.
Pretreatment
The pretreatment process involves sorting and cleaning the plastic waste. It’s essential to remove any contaminants. The contaminants can negatively impact the conversion process. The cleaned and sorted plastic waste is then shredded into small pieces for easier handling and processing.
Feeding
Customers have three feeding methods to choose from manual feeding, hydraulic feeding, and screw feeding. Each model of the machine corresponds to different feed sizes. Please refer to the table below for details:
| Model | BLJ-3 | BLJ-6/10/16 | BLL-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Feeding | bale<600mm | bale<1200mm | / |
| Hydraulic Feeding | bale<600mm | bale<1200mm | / |
| Spiral Feed | bale<50mm | bale<50mm | bale<20mm |
Pyrolysis
After the feeding is completed, the plastic enters the pyrolysis furnace. The reaction begins.
- Reaction Principle: The entire reaction environment is high temperature and micro-oxygen. During the reaction, the plastic’s long hydrocarbon chains break down into smaller, lighter hydrocarbons known as oil gas.
- Reaction Process: First, preheat the reaction furnace for 3-4 hours. When the temperature reaches 180℃, oil gas is produced. When the temperature reaches 280℃to 350℃, the reaction becomes stable and oil gas begins to be produced in large quantities.
Oil Formation
The formation of oil mainly includes the following steps:
- The high-temperature oil and gas in the reactor first enters the catalytic tower. This device is unique to the plastic-to-oil process. It reduces the production of wax oil.
- The oil and gas then enter the manifold. In this process, impurity oil is separated and then enters the residual oil tank.
- The remaining oil and gas enter the condensation system evenly. High-temperature oil and gas undergo heat exchange in the oil channel condenser to form liquid oil. Under the influence of gravity, the oil enters the storage tank.
Syngas Reuse
Under the pressure generated by the reaction, the syngas that cannot be cooled enter the water seal. The purified synthesis gas is reused to provide energy for the entire reaction system. Syngas usually consists of hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. After the syngas is collected separately, it can also be used for other industrial purposes.
Solid Discharging
The discharging process involves removing any remaining solids, such as carbon black, from the reactor chamber. These solids are typically used for other purposes, such as road construction or mixed with other materials for industrial purposes.
Exhaust Gas Treatment
The waste gas generated by the reaction first enters the flue condenser for cooling. Then it enters the spray tower for further cooling and dust removal. Finally, the exhaust gas is discharged from the chimney. For areas with higher emission standards, we provide high-end exhaust gas treatment systems. The flue gas will undergo fine treatment such as desulfurization and denitrification. The treated exhaust gas can meet EU standards.

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.
Diverse Wax Oil Removal Solution
Wax oil can clog the pipe from the plastic to the oil machine. Beston Group offers two solutions to deal with this problem.
- Install the catalytic tower. This configuration uses a catalyst to reduce the condensation and liquefaction of waxes in plastics.
- Install the electrode boiler. Based on the vertical condensation configuration, this solution can achieve the collection of wax oil.
Reliable Sealing Technology
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.
IoT Monitoring System
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.
