Is pyrolysis costly? How much money does it cost to set up a pyrolysis plant?

The cost of setting up a pyrolysis plant project is different from 10,000 USD to about 1 million USD dollars. The overall pyrolysis plant cost mainly depends on what capacity and what model of the pyrolysis plant you want to install, pyrolysis machine running costs, and the investment cost for pyrolysis plant land and license, etc.

1. Pyrolysis Machine Cost

We have 100kg, 500kg, 1t, 2t, 5t, 10t, 12t, 15t different processing capacity batch type pyrolysis machine, and the 15t 20t 30t 40t 50t different capacity semi-continuous and fully continuous type pyrolysis machine. The cost of batch type machine is relatively lower, usually under 100,000USD. The continuous pyrolysis machine with big capacities and higher configurations will cost more.

2. Pyrolysis Plant Running Cost

The running cost of this pyrolysis plant project is not high. In some areas, the material is free to get, and some governments give subsidies if you could recycle the waste tire/plastic.

And one set of pyrolysis machine just needs 3-4 workers to run, and it doesn’t need much manual operation. This machine is operated by the control cabinet, which is very convenient. It also doesn’t consume much electricity. Let us take the 12tpd pyrolysis machine as example, the electricity consumption is about 250kwh-400kwh per day, which mainly depends on the configuration of the machine you choose.

DOING pyrolysis machine uses the circulating water to run, no water consumption, don’t need to worry about the waste produced. And it could recycle the waste tire/plastic 100%, no waste produced, so the running cost is very low.

3. Other costs like land&license cost

In addition to the basic pyrolysis machine investment, you also need to consider the rental and construction costs of the pyrolysis plant land site. And in some countries that have relatively strict control over the establishment of waste management and recycling projects, such as Europe, Australia, South Africa, etc, it will also cost some to obtain the relative licenses.

After the above discussion, we may find that the initial one-time investment cost of pyrolysis plant is slightly higher. However, the payback obtained from the pyrolysis project is much higher than the input cost. The following is our profit analysis table based on the waste tire pyrolysis plant project for your reference.
