2 Sets of Waste Oil Distillation Equipment in Philippines

To meet the client’s dual goals of increasing daily processing capacity and achieving strict local environmental compliance (under the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources – DENR), a tailored, high-efficiency distillation solution was engineered.

We designed and deployed two parallel sets of advanced vacuum distillation equipment, each with a daily processing capacity of 10 tons (totaling 20 tons per day). Operating two separate units provides the client with vital operational redundancy; one set can undergo scheduled maintenance while the other remains active, ensuring zero downtime for the broader pyrolysis facility.

The core of the solution relies on a specialized catalytic distillation process. The crude pyrolysis oil and waste engine oil are pumped into the distillation reactor and heated using a dual-heating system (utilizing both recycled syngas and standard fuel to minimize external energy consumption). As the oil reaches a gaseous state, it passes through a catalytic tower where heavy molecular chains are cracked and reformed into lighter diesel fractions.

Crucially, the system incorporates a deep-vacuum environment, which lowers the boiling point of the waste oil, preventing coking inside the reactor and significantly extending the lifespan of the equipment. To ensure the final product meets market standards, an advanced decolorization and deodorization purification system was integrated into the tail-end of the process. This removes the distinct sulfurous odor and dark color typical of tire pyrolysis oil, resulting in a clean, translucent yellow diesel alternative. Furthermore, a multi-stage flue gas scrubbing system was installed to neutralize acidic emissions, ensuring the plant operates well within Philippine clean air regulations.
