10T Pyrolysis Plant

Every day, around 27,000 waste tires are generated worldwide. Through the pyrolysis process, these discarded tires can be converted into valuable energy resources — with each kilogram of waste tires yielding approximately 0.40–0.45 kg of fuel oil.

Our advanced pyrolysis equipment is capable of processing up to 10 tons of waste tires, plastics, and oil sludge per day (24 hours continuous operation). It transforms these waste materials into high-value fuel oil, which can be widely used as:Boiler fuel oil/Cement rotary kiln fuel/Power generation fuel/Heating source for smelting and casting industries

Furthermore, the obtained pyrolysis oil can be refined through secondary distillation to produce high-quality diesel, suitable for construction machinery, trucks, and marine engines — turning waste into a sustainable energy solution for multiple industries.

FAQ

How the PyrolysisUnit 10T Pyrolysis Plant Pyrolyzes Waste Tires>>

Drying（Optional）

Waste tires are first dried to remove excess moisture, ensuring stable heating and higher oil yield during pyrolysis.

Cutting

The dried tires are then cut into smaller pieces to increase surface area and improve heat transfer efficiency inside the reactor.

Feeding

The shredded tires are automatically fed into the sealed pyrolysis reactor through a fully enclosed feeding system to prevent air leakage.

Pyrolysis

Inside the reactor, the tires are heated to about 400–450°C in an oxygen-free environment. The rubber decomposes into oil vapor, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas.

Oil-Gas Separation

The mixed oil and gas are directed into a cooling and condensing system where pyrolysis oil is collected, while the non-condensable gas is recycled as heating fuel.

Carbon Black & Steel Separation

After cooling, solid residues are discharged. The carbon black is collected for reuse or sale, and steel wires are separated for recycling.

Emission Treatment

Finally, the exhaust gas passes through a dedusting and purification system to ensure the emissions meet environmental protection standards.

Does the obtained tire pyrolysis oil need to be distilled?>>

1. No distillation needed: For low-to-medium value “direct fuel” uses

Raw tire pyrolysis oil (without distillation) has a calorific value of 42–46 MJ/kg, similar to heavy fuel oil. It can be directly used in scenarios that tolerate its moderate impurity content (e.g., small amounts of carbon residue, sulfur, and heavy hydrocarbons), such as:

Industrial boilers: For heating in factories, power plants, or cement kilns (most common direct use).
Low-speed diesel generators: To produce on-site electricity (suitable for small-scale operations like the pyrolysis plant itself).

In these cases, simple pre-treatment (e.g., filtering to remove solid particles) is enough—distillation would add unnecessary cost without significant benefits.

2. Distillation required: For high-value “refined fuel” or chemical uses

Raw TPO has limitations (e.g., high viscosity, sulfur content of 0.5–1.5%, and mixed hydrocarbon fractions). Distillation (often with additional purification steps) is needed to upgrade it to products that meet stricter standards, such as:

Diesel-like fuel: Distillation separates TPO into light, medium, and heavy fractions. The light/medium fractions are further treated (e.g., desulfurization, deacidification) to produce fuel that can power trucks, tractors, or standard diesel generators.
Refinery feedstock: Distilled TPO (with sulfur <100 ppm) can be sent to oil refineries as a co-feedstock, blended with crude oil to produce gasoline, diesel, or other petrochemicals.
Specialty chemicals: Further distillation and purification can extract specific compounds (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons) for use in plastics, solvents, or lubricants.

Pyrolysis Unit 10T Pyrolysis Plant FAQ Guide>>

Is pyrolysis a good investment?

Yes, pyrolysis can be a good investment, but its success depends on several factors.If you have steady feedstock, reliable equipment, and access to buyers, pyrolysis can be a profitable and environmentally friendly investment.

What is the yield of the pyrolysis plant?

The yield of a pyrolysis plant depends on the type of feedstock, its composition, moisture content, and the technology used. For a typical 10T/day tire pyrolysis plant, approximate yields are:

1. From Waste Tires

Product	Approx. Yield (%)
Pyrolysis oil	40–45%
Carbon black	30–35%
Steel wire	10–15%
Non-condensable gas	10–15%

What feedstock can be used in a 10T Pyrolysis Plant?

Waste tires – produces oil, carbon black, steel, and gas
Waste plastics – bottles, packaging, industrial scrap
Rubber products – conveyor belts, shoe soles, mats
Mixed feedstock – combination of tires, plastics, or rubber

Does pyrolysis oil need further refining?

Yes, pyrolysis oil usually needs further refining to improve its quality.

Crude pyrolysis oil is dark, viscous, and contains impurities and sulfur.
Refining (e.g., distillation) can produce lighter, cleaner fractions suitable for diesel or industrial fuel.
Without refining, it’s mainly used as low-grade industrial fuel.

Can the 10T Pyrolysis Plant operate continuously?

Yes, a 10T Pyrolysis Plant can operate semi-continuously or fully continuously, depending on its design:

Semi-continuous: Feedstock is added batch by batch while the reactor is hot.
Fully continuous: Feedstock is continuously fed, and products are continuously collected.

What are the main products of a 10T Pyrolysis Plant?

The main products of a 10T Pyrolysis Plant are:

Pyrolysis oil – can be used as fuel or refined into diesel
Carbon black – used in rubber, ink, or pigment industries
Steel wire – recycled from tires
Non-condensable gas – reused to heat the reactor
