After a series of technological upgrades, BLL-30 continuous pyrolysis plant demonstrates outstanding performance in continuous operation, energy efficiency, and precise automatic temperature control. The following are the corresponding technologies and their key outcomes.
310S stainless steel can withstand high temperatures up to 1035℃ and has excellent anti-oxidation and acid corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in plastic pyrolysis plant. Although its cost is high, it can ensure safe operation under extreme conditions. In the long run, it reduces maintenance and replacement pyrolysis plant price.
304 stainless steel is suitable for high temperature environments of 600-700℃. It is often used in pyrolysis of oil sludge and tires. 304 stainless steel is more superior in high temperature anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance. It is a common material for pyrolysis reaction equipment, combining good performance and economy.
Q345R steel has a temperature resistance of about 450℃ and is suitable for pyrolysis processes at lower temperatures. Although it is cheap, it is prone to oxidation and corrosion under high temperature conditions. Its long-term use may result in higher maintenance costs. Therefore, this material is not suitable for high temperatures.
Different configuration options will also significantly affect the pyrolysis equipment cost. In addition to the main equipment, additional equipment can be selected to improve process performance or optimize operations. These optional equipment include:
For tire pyrolysis plant equipped with screw feeding, adding a shredder can reduce the feed size. This improves pyrolysis efficiency. In addition, steel wires in tires can be extracted in advance.
Further treatment of the pyrolysis oil produced during the pyrolysis process can extract high-value-added non-standard diesel and naphtha. This increases the economic value of the pyrolysis products.
This equipment is critical for project sites with higher emission standards. Exhaust gas treated by a high-end exhaust gas treatment system can meet EU emission standards.
Business Limitation Due to EIA Restrictions: The Chinese customer (Hubei) focuses on oil sludge recycling but lacks EIA approval, limiting their access to coal tar business.
The operating costs of the plant first include the application fees for various licenses. An environmental, health and safety assessment must be completed. This ensures that the plant meets local regulatory standards. In addition, administrative procedures such as business licenses must be processed. These initial investments also involve a certain amount of capital investment.
The transportation and installation costs of the equipment are also one of the costs. Pyrolysis equipment is large and heavy, and the transportation process requires professional logistics services. In addition, the process of installing the equipment is complicated and requires a professional team to debug and install it. Therefor, it also further increases the pyrolysis plant cost.
The procurement cost of raw materials is an important part of the continued operation of the pyrolysis plant. The prices of raw materials such as plastics, waste tires, and oil sludge will fluctuate according to market conditions, which directly affects the production costs of the plant. The difficulty and conversion rate of different raw materials will also affect the overall production efficiency.
In daily operations, the consumption of water, electricity, and gas is one of the main expenses in the high-energy pyrolysis process. At the same time, daily maintenance and regular inspection of the machine are essential. This avoids downtime caused by equipment failure. Therefore, hiring and training skilled operators is also a necessary long-term pyrolysis machine cost.
Investing in a pyrolysis plant is not just about managing waste—it’s a strategic move to enhance profitability. While the pyrolysis machine price varies depending on design and capacity, the long-term returns often outweigh the initial investment due to multiple value-adding factors:
Capable of processing plastics, rubber tires, and oily sludge, the plant delivers multiple marketable byproducts, which includes:
Equipped with a fully integrated PLC control system, the machine enables continuous monitoring and precise control of feeding, heating, and discharging processes. This high level of automation results in:
The plant features an internal anti-coking structure that prevents material buildup on the reactor walls during continuous operation. This design improvement leads to:
Beston Group ensures strict quality control throughout every stage of production. With advanced welding techniques and mature, continuously evolving manufacturing technology, each machine undergoes thorough testing before delivery. Reliable quality helps reduce unexpected failures, indirectly lowering pyrolysis plant cost in the long term. Customers are also welcome to visit our factory for on-site inspection.
In order to ensure the safety of the project, the equipment is equipped with a series of safety devices, such as explosion-proof devices, emergency exhaust valves, cracked gas-liquid seal anti-backfire devices, flame arresters, over-temperature & over-pressure alarm devices, and other safety devices. If you want a detailed list, please leave us a message.
The combustion exhaust gas is processed by the de-dusting system and then discharged to meet the standards. And the excess combustible gas will also be burned through the exhaust chamber before being disposed of. If there are strict local environmental standards, Beston Group can provide a customized de-dusting system to meet the customer’s needs.
Beston Group offers comprehensive after-sale support, including on-site installation guidance, operator training, follow-up visits, and 24/7 online assistance. Customers also enjoy repurchase discounts, helping reduce operational and maintenance costs, thus reducing long-term pyrolysis machine cost.
