Pros and cons of batch pyrolysis plant

Batch pyrolysis plant can convert waste materials such as plastics, tires and biomass into valuable resources such as fuel oil, carbon black and syngas. However, like any technology, batch pyrolysis plant also have their advantages and limitations.

Pros of batch pyrolysis plant

• Flexible operation: Customers can flexibly adjust the production scale and production time according to their actual production needs. For some small-scale waste tire processing enterprises or experimental research institutions, batch equipment can better adapt to different production tasks and process requirements.
• Low equipment cost: Compared with continuous pyrolysis equipment, the structure of batch equipment is relatively simple and does not require complex continuous feeding and discharging systems. Therefore, the purchase cost of batch pyrolysis plant is relatively low.
• High product quality: During the batch production process, operators can conduct more detailed monitoring and adjustment of each production link. For instance, during the pyrolysis process, the pressure, temperature and reaction time can be precisely controlled according to the requirements of different raw materials and products, which makes the quality of the produced tire oil better and the performance of the carbon black also better.
• High safety: The batch pyrolysis machine processes a relatively small amount of material each time. In case of a malfunction, measures can be taken more quickly, reducing safety risks. In addition, due to the relatively simple structure of the equipment, maintenance and repair are also relatively convenient.

Cons of batch pyrolysis plant

• High labor costs: Due to the need for human participation in many operation links, such as loading materials, unloading materials, and equipment monitoring, a large number of operators are required, which increases labor costs.
• High energy consumption: Each time the equipment is started and stopped, additional energy is consumed to heat and cool the equipment. Compared with continuous equipment, the energy utilization rate is lower.
• High environmental protection pressure: In batch production processes, as loading and unloading operations are not continuous, problems such as waste gas leakage and material scattering are prone to occur, causing certain pollution to the environment.
