On 23rd February 2024, we delivered plastic to oil equipment system to Côte d’Ivoire. This is designed for a customer who wants to reduce plastic pollution while making more profits. In Côte d’Ivoire, waste plastic recycling plays an important role in environmental protection. This client planned to setup an 8 t/day plastic pyrolysis plant for high humidity plastic waste disposal.
The following are the specific details of this case:
Is there a pyrolysis system for high humidity plastic waste to oil?
The Côte d’Ivoire customer told us that this plastic pyrolysis material is generally saturated with humidity given the climate of the country. Can we feed it into plastic pyrolysis reactor directly? Of course not. Because it will increase energy consumption and slow down the efficiency of plastic waste to fuel. Our engineers recommend to reduce the raw material water content by professional dryer before pyrolysis.
Can the waste plastic to oil project capacity reach 8 tons/day?
The answer is yes. For 8 tons/day plastic pyrolysis plant setup, you can buy our YS-10 plastic pyrolysis equipment. Its output capacity is 8-10 tons/day. In addition, this machine adopts body rotary design and rock wool insulation layer. Therefore, it can heat plastic waste evenly and reduce heat dissipation. It is beneficial for turning plastic into oil fast and reduce energy consumption. Moreover, the plastic pyrolysis reactor uses Q345R steel as material, which has high corrosion resistance. So it has a long service life.
What is the product of plastic pyrolysis plant? Only pyrolysis oil?
Besides plastic pyrolysis oil, there is also some fuel gas generated. With our plastic pyrolysis equipment, you can convert 99% plastic waste into oil gas. A large part of the oil gas will turn into liquid oil after water cooling in the cooling tank. And there is some gas that cannot be condensed but it is good fuel.
Can we recycle the waste gas to reuse during the plastic pyrolysis process?
Of course. After passing through the water sealing equipment, there is a combustible gas recycling system. This system can return the non-condensable gas to waste gas burner, then supply heat for plastic oil making equipment. This is greatly beneficial for reducing the energy consumption of subsequent plastic pyrolysis. So it needs a low cost.
How to make plastic pyrolysis oil more quickly?
Here, our engineers have 2 tips for your plastic pyrolysis project.
Shred or crush the plastic waste into smaller pieces to increase the surface area for heat transfer, which can accelerate the pyrolysis reaction of plastic waste. For this, we can provide you with professional plastic grinding machine. High efficiency and economical price.
Catalysts play a crucial role in facilitating plastic pyrolysis by lowering the activation energy required for the breakdown of long polymer chains into smaller hydrocarbon fragments. Such as zeolites, silica-alumina, aluminosilicates, ZnO, MgO, CaO, etc.
The above are details about our communication with the customer about the plastic pyrolysis plant setup in Côte d’Ivoire. Besides plastic waste disposal system, we also can offer you the best solutions for biomass to biochar, e-waste recycling, etc. Welcome to contact us for your own waste disposal business at any time.
