Turning plastic into fuel, as an emerging method for plastic waste treatment and resource recycling, has received widespread attention globally in recent years. The conversion of plastic into fuel oil relies heavily on pyrolysis equipment. Many countries and regions are actively developing projects to convert plastics into fuel oil, and Mingjie pyrolysis equipment has been applied in plastic pyrolysis projects in several countries.
Most plastics, such as PE, PP, and PS, are long-chain polymers polymerized from small-molecule monomers refined from petroleum. The core of pyrolysis technology is to precisely control the temperature in a pyrolysis reactor to "break down" the polymer into low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons.
This process takes place in an oxygen-deficient or oxygen-free environment plastic pyrolysis plant, avoiding the production of highly toxic substances from direct combustion of plastics. When the temperature is heated to a specific range of 400-600℃, the carbon-carbon bonds in the plastic molecular chains break. The long chains are broken down and reassembled, ultimately generating three types of products: liquid pyrolysis oil, syngas, and solid carbon black.
It is estimated that processing 1 ton of suitable waste plastic can produce an average of approximately 700 kg of liquid fuel. Its calorific value is equivalent to 0.6 tons of crude oil, and its resource conversion efficiency is remarkable.
Multiple Benefits of Turning Plastic into Fuel
The emergence of plastic to fuel machine has brought new hope for solving plastic pollution and the energy crisis. It plays a vital role not only in environmental protection but also demonstrates enormous potential in the energy and economic spheres, bringing multiple benefits.
From an environmental perspective, plastic to oil pyrolysis machine is a powerful tool for solving the plastic waste problem. Pyrolysis machine converts waste plastic into fuel. It can significantly reduce the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment and reduce plastic pollution of soil, water, and air.
In the energy sector, plastic to fuel plant provides a new way to supplement fuel sources. As a material composed of hydrocarbons, plastic is converted into fuel through pyrolysis machine, achieving resource recycling. These fuels can be directly used in transportation, power generation, and other fields, helping to alleviate energy shortages.
From an economic perspective, turning plastic to fuel has enormous industrial value and development potential. It creates a completely new industrial ecosystem, providing abundant employment opportunities for society.
