Does pyrolysis plant use electricity or burning system for the pyrolysis process?

Pyrolysis plants are pivotal in the recycling process of waste tires, plastics and oil sludge into valuable fuel oil through a high-temperature pyrolysis process, which requires both a reliable heating source and a significant amount of electricity to ensure efficient performance. In this discussion, we will take DOING pyrolysis plant as an example to delve into the electricity and burning consumption during the pyrolysis process:

The burning system:

Usually the primary heating source for pyrolysis plants typically comes from the fuel oil and gas produced within the plant itself. This self-sustaining approach eliminates the need for external fuel procurement, thereby enhancing cost-effectiveness and operational convenience. For example, a pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 10-12 tons consumes approximately 400 kg of fuel oil per batch, excluding tail gas consumption. Similarly, a 15-ton capacity plant consumes about 500 kg of fuel oil per batch.

But in some areas, the fuel oil cost is very high, but wood or coal heating source is cheap or even free to get, then you could also use wood or coal to heat this plant; And except for fuel oil, wood, coal, clients also could choose to use natural gas as the pre-heating stage fuel if the natural gas cost is lower.

The electricity consumption:

Electricity plays a crucial role in powering essential components within the pyrolysis plant, including motors, pumps, and control systems. The electricity consumption varies depending on the plant's size and configuration. Typically, a 10-12 ton capacity plant consumes between 300-350 kWh of electricity per batch. This consumption can fluctuate based on the specific operational setup and any additional devices chosen to optimize efficiency and meet stringent emission standards.

In addition, clients have the flexibility to customize their pyrolysis plants to align with their specific environmental and operational goals. For those prioritizing green technology, options include using electricity as the primary heating source. However, it's important to note that opting for electricity may incur higher initial and operational costs compared to traditional fuel sources.
