Running Since 2022: Two Pyrolysis Plant Operate Stably in North Africa for 4 Years

In early 2022, Beston Group delivered two BLJ-16 pyrolysis plants to a client in North Africa. The project team overcame significant installation and commissioning challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic through remote support. In September 2026, our team revisited the client’s site to review the plants’ performance after nearly four years of stable operation. This project demonstrates the reliability of Beston Group’s equipment and our capabilities in overseas project delivery and long-term technical support.

Project Performance: Four Years of Stable Operation

After nearly four years of operation, the two BLJ-16 pyrolysis plants continue to support the customer’s waste tires and plastic recycling business. According to customer feedback, the project has delivered the following results:

• Stable Operation: Both plants have operated reliably for nearly four years.
• Processing Capacity: Each reactor processes approximately 8–10 tons of waste tire and plastics per batch.
• Resource Recovery: The plants convert waste tires and plastics into valuable products, supporting waste recycling and resource recovery.
• Economic Returns: The recovered products contribute to the customer’s ongoing recycling business and generate economic value.

Project Delivery During COVID-19: How We Overcame the Challenges

In October 2020, a waste recycling company in North Africa contacted Beston Group about a pyrolysis project. However, COVID-19 travel restrictions made conventional overseas project delivery difficult. The customer could not visit our factory, and our engineers could not travel to North Africa for on-site installation. To keep the project moving, Beston Group provided a customized solution and a remote technical support plan:

• Customized Equipment Solution: After several months of technical discussions, both parties agreed on a configuration of 2 × BLJ-16 pyrolysis plants with a hydraulic feeding system.
• Technical Documentation: We provided complete equipment drawings, installation guides, and operation and maintenance manuals to help the customer prepare for installation and operation.
• Remote Installation and Commissioning: After the equipment arrived, our after-sales team guided the customer through installation and commissioning via video calls.
• Ongoing Technical Support: From order confirmation in April 2021, our team maintained communication with the customer and provided technical assistance throughout project implementation.

The customer prepared the installation site while Beston Group manufactured the equipment as planned. Despite the travel restrictions, both BLJ-16 plants completed installation and started operating in early 2022.

Long-Term Cooperation: Looking Ahead to Future Collaboration

During the visit, the Beston Group team assessed the performance of both BLJ-16 pyrolysis system and discussed potential opportunities for future cooperation with the customer. After nearly four years of stable operation, the project has established a solid foundation of trust between both parties. The discussions also focused on opportunities to further improve project performance and expand their cooperation. Both parties look forward to building on this successful partnership and exploring new opportunities in waste recycling and resource recovery.

Beston Group: Supporting Projects from Delivery to Operation

The successful delivery of this project reflects Beston Group’s commitment to more than equipment manufacturing. We combine reliable equipment with practical technical guidance and long-term after-sales support to help customers overcome project challenges and maintain stable operations. Even when on-site service is not possible, we work closely with customers to keep projects moving forward. This commitment continues well beyond equipment delivery.
