Continuous pyrolysis plant and batch pyrolysis plant are two mainstream processes in the field of oil refining. For tire and plastic refining investors, what is the difference between continuous pyrolysis plant and batch pyrolysis plant? What are the advantages of each? The following is a detailed introduction for you:
1. Different feeding methods
●Continuous pyrolysis plant requires pre-treatment of tires. Firstly, steel wires are extracted from the tires, then ground into rubber powder, and finally sent to the reactor for thorough pyrolysis. The material transportation adopts sealed equipment and pipelines, which have a higher safety and environmental protection factor.
●Batch pyrolysis plant adopt direct feeding or coarse crushing methods. Tires and plastics are sent into the pyrolysis reactor through hydraulic feeders.
●Continuous production means continuous feeding without waiting for the equipment to cool down; batch production requires the equipment to cool down before feeding and starting the next batch of production.
2. Different production efficiencies
Continuous pyrolysis plant avoid the problems of frequent heating, cooling, loading time and fuel waste in batch pyrolysis plant. The continuous pyrolysis plant can feed and discharge oil simultaneously, truly achieving continuous feeding and continuous slag discharge. It operates 24 hours without interruption, significantly shortening the production cycle.
3. Different automation levels
Continuous pyrolysis plant adopts PLC control system, featuring automatic feeding and automatic slag discharge. It can operate continuously for 24 hours and only requires 1 to 2 workers for the entire production line. Batch pyrolysis plant has a relatively low degree of automation and requires 3 to 4 workers to assist in operation. Slag discharge can only be carried out after the reactor has cooled down.
4. Different processing capacity and oil yield
The processing capacity of batch pyrolysis plant is 10kg, 750kg, 1 ton, 5 tons, 10 tons, 15 tons, etc. The processing capacity of continuous pyrolysis plant ranges from 30 tons to 50 tons, and they have a greater processing capacity. If you want to handle other capacity, customization is also possible. In terms of oil yield, the continuous pyrolysis plant, due to its precise feeding method and fully automatic operation, can fully pyrolysis the waste tires and plastics during the pyrolysis process, thereby achieving a high oil production rate.
Overall, continuous pyrolysis plant are more expensive, but they are more in line with national policy requirements. Continuous pyrolysis plant encouraged by the state for tire pyrolysis and are more likely to pass environmental impact assessment. Batch pyrolysis plant have a higher tolerance for raw materials. Both whole tyres or rubber can be processed, and the equipment price is relatively low.
Continuous and batch pyrolysis plant each have their own advantages. The one that suits you best is the best.
