How to produce alternative heating fuel with pyrolysis plant?

As the world seeks sustainable and renewable energy sources, pyrolysis plants have emerged as a promising solution for producing alternative heating fuel. As for the process of producing alternative heating fuel with pyrolysis plant, in the following article we take DOING pyrolysis plants for a detailed explanation.

Step 1: Feedstock Selection

The first step is to select a suitable feedstock for the pyrolysis process. Common options include solid waste such as waste tires, plastics, rubber and oil sludge, which are mainly composed of hydrocarbon polymers, and can be converted into alternative heating fuel(pyrolysis oil/syngas/carbon black) through way of pyrolysis.

Step 2: Feeding

Feed the prepared feedstock into the pyrolysis reactor of the plant by the auto feeder or by labor.

Step 3: Heating & Pyrolysis

Start the burners to heat the pyrolysis reactor. When reaching a certain high temperature, the macro-molecular structures of hydrocarbon polymers are broken down into smaller molecules which are oil-gas and carbon black.

Step 4: Cooling & Separation

The oil-gas will be cooled and condensed to pyrolysis oil and syngas through the independent cooling water circulation system. It is worth mentioning that the water seal is not only an oil-water separator, but also is used as a safety device to prevent oil-gas back-flow. At the same time, in this device, a few carbon black will be collected and the pyrolysis oil will be cleaned.

Step 5: Collecting & Storage

1. The pyrolysis oil will be stored in the oil tank and for selling or for further processing. The kind of fuel oil is a cost-effective alternative heating fuel, which can be used for industrial factory heating. Also, it can be refined into diesel by our pyrolysis oil distillation plant, and the diesel oil can be used in agricultural and mining machinery.

2. The syngas will be transported for reactor heating or other industrial heating.

3. The carbon black will be discharged from the reactor, and collected through the carbon black air transportation system. The carbon black pressed into the ball is a good kind of solid fuel.

The applications of the alternative heating fuel

The above is the general processing steps of our pyrolysis plant to produce alternative heating fuel.
