Workflow of Pyrolysis Machine
01 Feeding
02 Pyrolysis
- Plastic: The long chain structure in plastic polymers is broken by heating and cracked into smaller molecules (such as hydrocarbons, low molecular weight compounds, etc.).
- Oil Sludge: Petroleum hydrocarbons and organic matter in oil sludge decompose at high temperatures. The long chain molecules of the oily components break.
- Tyre: The chemical structure of the rubber in tires is destroyed. The polymer chains in the rubber break under the action of heat.
- Biomass: The long chain structure of cellulose and lignin in biomass breaks, and some water evaporates. The decomposition products include small molecular gases and organic matter.
03 Condensation
- Plastic: The oil gas from the main furnace first enters the catalytic tower, which improves the oil quality and prevents wax oil clogging. Then, the condenser collects the liquid oil.
- Oil Sludge/Tyre: The oil gas from the main furnace first enters the manifold, which separates heavy oil impurities. Then, the condenser collects the liquid oil.
- Biomass: For ensuring the continuous operation of the system, no condensation system is set up to collect bio-oil during the biomass pyrolysis process.
04 Gas Recovery & Utilization
- Syngas: It is a non-condensable combustible gas in the pyrolysis process, which has a high calorific value. After being collected, the syngas can be used as fuel for the pyrolysis unit and recycled for heating the main furnace.
- Flue gas: The waste heat of the high-temperature flue gas can still be used. Through the waste heat recovery system, this part of the waste heat is used to heat up various system components, reducing the consumption of external energy.

Carbon Black
Due to their functional differences, the carbonaceous materials from biomass pyrolysis system are divided into biochar and charcoal. Their specific uses are as follows:
Biochar
- Soil Improvement: Enhances soil structure and fertility.
- Carbon Removal: Long-term carbon storage helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Building Materials: Used as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials.
- Feed Additives: Improves livestock health and enhances feed digestibility.
Charcoal
- Metal Smelting Reducer: Used as a reducing agent in metal smelting to extract metals.
- Alternative Fuel: Serves as a clean energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels, reducing pollution.
Oil from pyrolysis machine can be divided into initial pyrolysis oil and processed non-standard diesel and naphtha. The specific uses are as follows:
Pyrolysis Oil
- Directly used as industrial fuel for large-scale energy needs such as boilers and heating equipment.
Non-standard Diesel
- Used for heavy oil generators to provide a stable power source.
- Used for engines of large-scale engineering machinery and industrial transportation vehicles.
Naphtha

- Used as a raw material for the production of plastic monomers (styrene, propylene).
- As a gasoline blending component to improve the quality of gasoline,
Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is a material obtained by pyrolysis of waste tires. Here are some of the main uses of carbon black:
- Recycled Tire Production: rCB is widely used in the production of recycled tires. It is used to enhance the properties of rubber
- Paint Additive: Carbon black as a pigment can improve the blackness and coloring ability of paint.
- Replacement of Traditional Carbon Black: Tire carbon black can be used in the production of higher grade N550/N660 carbon black.
Pyrolysis Equipment Accelerates Sustainable Development Goals Achievement
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Pyrolysis plant converts waste such as plastics, oil sludge, and tires into syngas and fuel oil. These energy sources can replace some traditional fossil energy. This reduces dependence on traditional coal, oil, and natural gas, thereby promoting energy structure transformation. These energy costs are lower and the selling price is reasonable.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
The resource application of pyrolysis technology has significantly promoted the development of the circular economy. Because the waste is recycled and reused, it avoids direct incineration or landfill. Even by expanding the energy market and creating jobs, the development of pyrolysis plant for sale can drive the improvement of local economies.
SDG 13: Climate Action
Incineration and landfill are traditional waste treatment methods, which usually release a large amount of greenhouse gases and seriously affect climate change. Through pyrolysis technology, waste is converted into useful products instead of directly emitting pollutants, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
SDG 14: Life Below Water
Oil mining waste and plastic waste pose a serious threat to the marine ecological environment. In particular, the spread of microplastics has become a global problem. Pyrolysis machine can process these industrial wastes on a large scale, preventing harmful substances from entering the marine ecosystem, thereby promoting underwater life protection.
