20-Ton Distillation Machines In Côte D'ivoire

When approached by the client, our engineering team conducted a comprehensive site evaluation and feedstock analysis. Côte d’Ivoire presents unique logistical and climatic variables, including high ambient humidity and occasional fluctuations in electrical grid stability within certain industrial zones. To ensure uninterrupted, high-efficiency operation, we proposed the installation of two advanced 20-ton/day continuous waste tire pyrolysis and distillation integrated units.

Unlike standard batch reactors, these fully continuous systems process a combined 40 tons of shredded waste tires daily without the need for operational cooldowns. This continuous feeding and automated deslagging design drastically reduces thermal energy loss, minimizes labor requirements, and improves the overall longevity of the equipment. The customized solution included a robust pre-treatment shredding line, an oxygen-free thermal desorption (pyrolysis) reactor, and a subsequent catalytic distillation column.

To address the client’s specific requirement for premium fuel output, we integrated a proprietary deep-purification and color-removal system into the distillation phase. This ensures the crude pyrolysis oil is efficiently refined into a high-quality, non-standard diesel that meets local industrial combustion specifications. Furthermore, we equipped the facility with a multi-stage flue gas scrubbing system—incorporating water washing, activated carbon adsorption, and ceramic ring filtration—to strictly comply with the environmental emissions standards set by the Ivorian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. Our senior engineers were dispatched to Abidjan to oversee the civil works, and by September 2024, the dual 20-ton units were successfully commissioned, advancing from cold testing to full continuous operational capacity within just three weeks.
