What kind of solid waste can be treated by pyrolysis plants?

Many customers want to use pyrolysis plants to treat local solid waste. So what kind of solid waste can be disposed of by pyrolysis plants? Rubber tires, plastics products, and aluminum plastics can all be processed. In addition, some hazardous solid wastes, such as oil sludge and tar residue, also can be treated by pyrolysis plants. Today, this paper focuses on the types of solid waste that can be treated by pyrolysis plants.

The raw materials of solid waste treat pyrolysis plant

1) Waste rubber

Many waste rubber products can be as pyrolysis raw materials, such as waste tires, rubber cable sheaths, shoe soles, mats, etc.. Among them, waste tires are preferred by both domestic and foreign customers. There are also many countries that encourage the conversion of waste tires into energy, and some customers have received government subsidies through pyrolysis programs.

The by-products of waste tire pyrolysis plants

Through pyrolysis, rubber waste can be converted into useful resources, like fuel oil, carbon black and syngas. The proportion of pyrolysis by-products obtained from different raw materials is different. For example, the oil yield of waste tires can reach about 45%, as well as about 30% carbon black and about 15% wire. There is also customer feedback that they will shred the tire before processing with the pyrolysis plant, and its oil yield even reaches 50-51%.

2) Waste plastic

Waste plastics as a major category of solid waste can be used to obtain useful pyrolysis by-products through pyrolysis plant. Including many types of plastics, such as PP, PE, PS, and ABS, that is, waste plastic bags, barrels, bottles, paper mill waste, aluminum-plastic medicine boards and other common plastic solid wastes in our daily life.

The by-products of waste plastic treat pyrolysis is the same as waste tires pyrolysis. However, due to its variety, the oil yield is not as stable as that of a tire, ranging from 40% to 90%. Of course, the cleaner the type of plastic, the higher the oil yield.

The oil yield of different waste plastic types

It is worth mentioning that waste aluminum-plastic raw materials, after being processed by DOING pyrolysis plant, have one more by-product than ordinary waste plastics - aluminum, which can be deeply processed into aluminum ingots and then sold at a high price. The oil yield of aluminum-plastic treat pyrolysis plant is not fixed and it depends on the proportion of plastic in aluminum-plastic.

3) Waste oil sludge

The waste oil sludge and coal tar oil residue are also a solid waste pyrolysis raw material. And they can convert into fuel oil and slag through pyrolysis plants. The oil yield is about 20-70%, which depends on the state of the oil sludge. For example, the oil yield of solid oil sludge may not be as high as that of liquid oil sludge, because the solid oil sludge may contain a high sediment content.

DOING three types soild waste treat pyrolysis plant

These are the solid wastes that can be processed through pyrolysis plants. A set of DOING soild waste treat pyrolysis plants can process a variety of raw materials. One pyrolysis plant has multiple uses and is more cost-effective. In addition, based on different needs for efficiency and processing capacity, DOING has developed three designs of pyrolysis plants: batch type, semi-continuous type and fully continuous type for customers to choose from.
