Plastic pyrolysis plant can convert waste plastics into pyrolysis oil, carbon black and syngas by pyrolysis technology. Waste plastics are a common environmental pollutant. It can process most waste plastics, such as PP, PE, PS, ABS or mixed plastics, except for PVC and PET.
Plastic Pyrolysis Plant for Waste Recycling
Plastic pyrolysis plant heats and decomposes waste plastics under anaerobic conditions, converting large molecules into smaller molecules. The final products are pyrolysis oil, syngas, and solid carbon black.
Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are the most common plastics. The pyrolysis of PE and PP mainly produces a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, known as pyrolysis oil. It is rich in alkanes and olefins, with a composition similar to diesel and naphtha. Plastic pyrolysis oil is a potential fuel or chemical feedstock.
The pyrolysis of polystyrene (PS) can produce 90%-97% liquid products. The styrene content is particularly high, making it a good way to recover its monomers.
Plastic Pyrolysis Products
Pyrolysis Oil (50-75%)
It can be used as industrial fuel and feedstock in petrochemical plants. Plastic pyrolysis oil can be further fractionated in a distillation plant to produce non-standard diesel and gasoline components.
Syngas (10-25%)
It is a combustible VOC and must be treated by combustion to mitigate environmental risks. Syngas can be recovered to provide heat to the pyrolysis reactor. It can also be used for heating and power generation.
Solid Residue (5-15%)
Solid residue mainly consists of carbon black and filler impurities, which can be used as industrial fuel or disposed of in landfills.

How Does the Plastic Pyrolysis Plant Work?
The pyrolysis process of waste plastics is simple and convenient. Pyrolysis plant can not only solve the problem of plastic waste disposal, but also produce renewable resources.
- Pretreatment: Waste plastics are first pretreated, including sorting, crushing, washing and drying. This removes impurities (including PVC and PET plastics) and moisture.
- High-temperature pyrolysis: The pretreated waste plastics are fed into a pyrolysis reactor. Under high temperature (450-650°C) and oxygen-deficient conditions, the pyrolysis system decomposes the waste plastics into small molecular gases, liquids and solid residues.
- Condensation: The gases and liquids produced by pyrolysis are condensed through a condenser to form liquid fuel oil.
- Separation: The condensed fuel oil contains components with different boiling points. At this time, they need to be separated through distillation equipment to obtain light gasoline, diesel and heavy fuel oil.
- Tail gas treatment: The tail gas produced by pyrolysis contains harmful substances such as dioxins, benzene and carbon monoxide. These harmful substances need to be removed through tail gas treatment systems, such as activated carbon adsorption, catalytic combustion or wet scrubbing.
- Solid residue treatment: The solid residue produced by thermal cracking is mainly carbon black, which can be used as fuel or other industrial raw materials.
Why Can't Plastic Pyrolysis Equipment Process PVC and PET materials?
Because PVC and PET will corrode the plastic pyrolysis machine, pollute the environment, and reduce economic benefits.
PVC is a chlorine-containing plastic that releases a large amount of hydrogen chloride during pyrolysis. Hydrogen chloride is a toxic gas that can cause serious harm to pyrolysis plants, human health and the environment. In addition, PVC will produce harmful substances (such as dioxins and furans) during pyrolysis, which are carcinogenic and persistent.
PET is a thermoplastic polyester that releases a large amount of ethylene glycol during pyrolysis. Ethylene glycol is a toxic substance that is harmful to human health and the environment. In addition, PET will produce harmful substances (such as terephthalic acid and carbon monoxide) during pyrolysis. The release of these substances will pollute the atmospheric environment and affect human health.

Plastic Pyrolysis Oil To Diesel Process
The process of making diesel from plastic pyrolysis oil through waste oil distillation plant usually includes the following steps.
Plastic Pyrolysis Oil Pretreatment
Separation of impurities: Use gravity sedimentation method to remove impurities such as solid particles and water to obtain relatively pure pyrolysis oil.
Distillation Separation
Heating: The pretreated pyrolysis oil is sent to the distillation tower and heated by the heating system. The heating method can be thermal oil heating, steam heating or direct combustion heating. The pyrolysis oil gradually heats up to the boiling point in the distillation tower and begins to vaporize.
Fractionation: Different temperature zones are formed in the distillation tower according to the different boiling points of the components in the pyrolysis oil. Low-boiling components such as gasoline fractions will be separated first in the upper part of the distillation tower. The diesel fraction is separated in the appropriate temperature zone and rises to a specific position of the distillation tower in the form of steam.
Condensation: The diesel fraction steam separated from the distillation tower enters the condenser. The steam is cooled and liquefied by heat exchange with cooling water or other cooling media to form liquid diesel.
Refining
The liquefied diesel is collected in a special storage tank as a preliminary diesel product. The preliminary diesel may still contain some impurities or undesirable components and need to be further refined. If the acid content in the pyrolysis oil is high, neutralization treatment is required to reduce corrosion to subsequent equipment.
Filtering
The pyrolysis oil is passed through the filter to further remove fine solid particles and impurities. This ensures that the pyrolysis oil entering the distillation equipment has a high purity.
