About Raw Materials
What raw materials can the pyrolysis plant handle?
Waste tires: Big car tires, truck tires, OTR tires, motorcycle tires, bicycle tires, etc.;
Waste plastics: PP, PE, PS, ABS, etc. (except PET and PVC);
Waste rubber: Rubber cable sheath, rubber soles and all the other kinds of rubber sheets or carpets;
Oil sludge: floor oil sludge, tank bottom oil sludge, refinery oil sludge, crude oil sludge, petroleum sludge, engine oil sludge, drilling cuttings etc.
Are all the tires suitable for your pyrolysis plant?
Yes. The tires with normal diameter of less than 1200mm can directly enter the pyrolysis reactor, while the tires that larger than 1200mm need to be shredded before pyrolysis.
Can waste plastics and tires be pyrolyzed together at the same time?
Better not. It is recommended to handle the plastics and the tires separately. The pyrolysis temperatures of the two materials are different, so it will affect the process. The plastic pyrolysis process is prone to blockage of the system by wax oil, so the catalytic tower system is equipped as needed; while the tire pyrolysis process does not have the above problems. In addition, the carbon black from waste tire pyrolysis can be further processed and utilized, but the plastic residues are general industrial solid wastes. After being mixed with plastic and pyrolyzed, the residue will reduce the utilization value of tire pyrolysis carbon black. So it is recommended to classify separately and treat by quality to improve the added value of products.
Does the types of plastics affect the pyrolysis oil?
Yes, totally. Different types of plastics have different oil yields and quality.
Are there any requirements for the size and moisture of the raw materials?
For manual feeding and hydraulic feeding, tire diameter and plastic bales are required to be smaller than 1.2m and can be fed directly;
For screw feeding, tire ≤5cm, plastic ≤5cm, moisture content below 10%.

What is the temperature range in tire pyrolysis oil generation process? What is the maximum pressure
The tire pyrolysis oil starts generating at 180℃, and the maximum oil generates at 280-350℃. the working pressure does not exceed 0.02Mpa.
What kind of fuel can be used for pyrolysis? What is the consumption?
Natural gas, diesel, heavy oil are all available. Consumption depends on the specific model.
What should be paid attention to pyrolysis of plastic?
Similar chlorine and oxygen-containing plastics such as PVC and PET are not recommended to be treated; the feeding method is recommended to be packaged; the condenser is recommended to be 3-in-1 box-type condensation, and also equipped with a pyrolysis catalyst tower, special catalyst and catalyst regeneration system.
How often do ceramic rings need to be cleaned in dust removal system?
3-4 months. Or determine the frequency of cleaning based on actual usage.
What are the judging conditions for the basic completion of oil production in batch equipment?
1.The temperature of the main reactor increases and the temperature of the steam drum decreases;
2.The oil output is reduced and the oil is dark brown.
How is the waste water in the water seal treated?
1. Enter the main reactor and then react;
2. Connect the water pipe to the exhaust combustion chamber and add a nozzle to burn.
What is the working pressure and maximum pressure of the batch pyrolysis furnace?
The working pressure of batch pyrolysis reactor is 2-10kPa. The maximum pressure in the reactor is 20kPa.
What about emissions and pollution problems in the pyrolysis process?
The amount of exhaust gas is different according to the selection of model. The exhaust gas is mainly composed of two parts, most of which are produced by fuel combustion and process of heating the reactor, and small part is produced by the direct burning of excess pyrolysis gas. The exhaust gas mainly contains sulfur compounds, nitrogen oxides, dust, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, etc.
There are many European customers who are running the plant and the emissions meet the local standards.
Is the exhaust gas emission standard qualified?
Yes, it can reach the emission standard. The high-temperature flue gas is first treated by condensation and cooling in the flue, washed with water to remove oil and dust, and then goes through desulfurization tower, denitrification tower, dust removal, activated carbon adsorption, and finally the flue gas that meets the standard is discharged. We have many European success stories to meet European emission standards.
Is it complicated to operate the pyrolysis plant?
No. Just 100% operate the plant as the operation manual guides (will provide after making the deal) and the engineers of Beston Group will be responsible for training your workers how to operate the plant correctly and how to maintain it. We are here to help at any time.
Will the consumption of heating fuel be a large expense for me?
Generally not. It depends on what kind of fuels you want to choose. Generally, if you’d like to process 1 ton feedstock, the estimated consumption of each kind of fuel is,
Coal: 85-90 KG;
Natural Gas: 70-80 m;
Diesel: 55-65 KG;
LPG: 50-55 KG.
Don’t forget that Beston has combustible gas recycling design for the pyrolysis plant. You can fully take use of the combustible gas generated from the pyrolysis process to heat the reactor.
What catalytic pyrolysis technology is used for waste plastic treatment?
Waste plastic treatment adopts gas-phase catalytic pyrolysis technology. It solves the technical problem of clogging the pipeline with wax oil and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, it is helpful to improve the yield and quality of pyrolysis oil.
