What types of feed can we use for batch type pyrolysis equipment?

Batch type pyrolysis equipment is widely used in waste recycling projects due to its flexible operation, lower initial investment, and ability to handle various raw materials. And the processed feedstock is one necessary point for customers to consider before investing the pyrolysis project. Then what types of feed can we use for batch type pyrolysis equipment? Below is a detailed overview suitable for project planning and website reference.

1. Waste Tires

Waste tires are the most common and mature feedstock for batch pyrolysis equipment. This includes car/bicycle tires, truck tires, waste tire chips, etc. Through pyrolysis, waste tires can be converted into fuel oil, carbon black, steel wire, and combustible gas.

2. Waste Plastics

Many types of waste plastics can be processed in batch pyrolysis equipment, such as PE, PP, PS, ABS plastics, aluminum plasics, and mixed plastic waste. These plastics generally produce a higher oil yield compared to scrap tires. However, plastics containing high chlorine content, such as PVC and PET, are not recommended to be processed with the pyrolysis equipment, as they can cause corrosion and environmental issues.

3. Rubber Products

In addition to waste tires, other rubber wastes such as rubber soles, conveyor belts, rubber seals, and industrial rubber scraps can also be used as feedstocks. The pyrolysis process for rubber products is similar to tire pyrolysis, though oil yield and carbon residue quality may vary depending on the rubber formulation.

4. Oily Sludge

Batch type pyrolysis equipment can also dispose of oily sludge, such as tank bottom oil sludge, refinery oil sludge, drilling mud oil sludge, oil field oil sludge, etc. Pyrolysis equipment helps reduce hazardous waste volume while recovering usable oil.

5. Biomass Feedstocks

Batch type pyrolysis equipment can also process biomass materials such as wood chips, sawdust, rice husk, or agricultural waste. However, compared with tire and plastic pyrolysis, biomass typically produces more char coal products. Therefore, biomass pyrolysis is usually selected for biochar production rather than fuel oil recovery.

In short, batc type pyrolysis equipment has less limitations on the recycled feedstocks, and if you have other waste want to be recycled with the pyrolysis equipment, just feel free to contact Huayin, we can provide testing service for you to help you select the right and suitable feedback for your pyrolysis project.
