What kind of fuel oil can waste plastic be converted into?

There are mainly two types of fuel oil that could be extracted from waste plastic. One is plastic pyrolysis oil, which is a kind of heavy fuel oil, mainly used as heating fuel in industry. The other is diesel fuel. This diesel fuel is refined from plastic pyrolysis oil. It could be used for agricultural or heavy machinery.

The appliactions of plastic fuel oil

To convert waste plastics into plastic pyrolysis oil, only a waste plastic pyrolysis machine is needed. If you want to convert waste plastics into diesel fuel, you need two machines, the waste plastic pyrolysis machine and pyrolysis oil distillation machine. The waste plastic pyrolysis machine is used to recycle the waste plastic into heavy fuel oil, and the pyrolysis oil distillation machine could further refine the plastic pyrolysis oil(heavy fuel oil) to diesel fuel.

DOING waste plastic pyrolysis machine & distillation machine

The following will give you a brief introduction to processes of converting waste plastics into two kinds of fuel oil:

Firstly, collect enough waste plastic(all kinds of plastic could be used for pyrolysis except the PVC and PET). Usually we suggest the PP, PE and PS. The oil yield of these three types of plastic is high.

Secondly, feed the waste plastic into a pyrolysis machine, heat the reactor, the oil gas will be produced and then cooled down into heavy fuel oil in the condensers system.

The following is the 3D operation video of DOING waste plastic pyrolysis machine to show you in detail the process of converting waste plastic into plastic pyrolysis oil:

Up to this step, plastic pyrolysis oil has been extracted from waste plastics. Pyrolysis oil is a kind of very good heating fuel, with 10592.48Kcal/kg heating value, which is much higher than that of coal. It has a good market in different countries, can be directly sold to boiler factories, cement factories, steel factories, brick factories, glass factories, heavy oil power plants, warm supply centers and so on. Also, it can be distilled and refined in the next step.

Feed the heavy fuel oil into pyrolysis oil distillation machine, heat the reactor, diesel fuel can be obtained after acid and alkali washing or catalytic tower, white clay decolorization and bag filtration.

The following is the 3D operation video of DOING plastic oil distillation machine to show you in detail the process of converting plastic pyrolysis oil into diesel fuel:

Up to this step, diesel fuel has been extracted from waste plastics. This diesel is a good kind of alternative fuel to standard diesel/industrial heating fuel. It is mainly used in various heavy machinery such as trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery and mining machinery or directly in generators.

Whether it is plastic pyrolysis oil or diesel fuel, each fuel oil has a wide market and is sold well.
