Final Products

Fuel Oil
30-80%
High-calorie fuel;
Directly sold to steel mills, boiler plants, cement plant; Burn to generate electricity;
Turned into high-quality fuel oil after purification, mixing with standard diesel for low-speed heavy machinery, construction machinery, large trucks, and ships.
Syn Gas
20-30%
Main furnace heating: Recovered combustible gas can be used as fuel directly in the combustion chamber.
Separate collection: Recovered combustible gas can be separately collected for other purposes.


Solid Residues
20-30%
Burned as fuel: The solid residues have a certain calorific value and can be used as fuel.
Industrial raw materials: If it contains a higher proportion of carbon black, it can be used as rubber products.
Building materials: Used as raw materials for building materials such as bricks and cement.
Paving materials: Used for road paving, replacing some sand and gravel materials.

Work Flow of Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Plant
Our waste oil sludge pyrolysis plant has an exhaust gas treatment system that meets the European Emission Standard. Don’t worry about polluting your working conditions or environment. Here is a workflow diagram of a oil sludge pyrolysis plant for your reference.
01Pretreatment and Feeding
Three feeding methods for different oil sludge liquid contents:
Below liquid content 40% : belt conveyor; 40%-60% liquid content: shaftless spiral; More than 75% liquid content: sludge pump.
02Oil Sludge Thermal Desorption
Thermal desorption reaction occurs in a high-temperature microaerobic reaction environment. During the reaction, oil sludge undergoes the following changes in thermal desorption equipment:
Under high-temperature conditions, long-chain hydrocarbons in oil sludge are broken into small molecular hydrocarbons. Condensable components in the oil gas can be cooled through the condenser to form fuel oil. Non-condensable oil gas is purified by water sealing to form syngas, which provide energy for the reactor.
03Exhaust Gas Treatment
04Solid Residue Discharge
Some solid substances in oil sludge cannot participate in the thermal desorption and eventually form solid residues. The solid residue is discharged through the water-cooled screw conveyor.
05Oil Distillation(Optional)
Fuel oil is converted into higher quality non-standard diesel through the oil distillation equipment. In this equipment, fuel oil goes through the following stages:
Distillation: heating the fuel oil and separating components with different boiling points. Condensation: cooling and liquefying the evaporated components. Acid & alkali washing: removing acidic and alkaline impurities and improving oil quality.
