Many customers know they can get pyrolysis oil from a waste tire/plastic/oil sludge pyrolysis machine and can earn money to sell this kind of output oil. But they don’t is the pyrolysis oil light or heavy and don’t know much about the parameters of pyrolysis oil.
Actually, the pyrolysis oil is not light oil, but heavy oil (also called HPO heavy pyrolysis oil) that can be used for heating. I am writing to introduce more characteristics information about pyrolysis oil and light fuel today.
The differences of light oil and heavy pyrolysis oil:
Difference of light oil and heavy oil
1.Density
Light oils generally have a lower density, typically ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 g/cm³.
Pyrolysis oils have a higher density, ranging from 1.1 to 1.3 g/cm³.
2.Viscosity
Pyrolysis oils are more viscous and flow less freely, whose viscosity can be affected by its chemical makeup of raw material.
3.Chemical Composition
Light oils usually contain a higher percentage of low molecular weight hydrocarbons, such as gasoline and diesel range compounds.
Pyrolysis oils are rich in high molecular weight hydrocarbons and may also contain more impurities and heteroatoms like sulfur and nitrogen.
4.Heating value
Light oils have a higher heating value, typically ranging from 30–40 MJ/kg.
Pyrolysis oils have a lower heating value, typically ranging from 15–25 MJ/kg.
5.Application
Light oils usually used as a fuel for combustion, such as in engines or boilers.
Pyrolysis oils usually used primarily for heating purposes or in industrial boilers, such as cement factory,brick factory.
Usages of pyrolysis oil
If you want to improve heavy pyrolysis oil into higher quality fuel similar to light fuel oil, another technology is recommended: pyrolysis oil distillation machine.
Distillation is a widely used method for further processing pyrolysis oil, it can help in removing some of the impurities many of the heteroatoms - containing compounds and improve the color of pyrolysis oil. DOING design two types of pyrolysis oil distillation machine: acid wash and alkali wash chemicals type and patented solid catalyst chemicals type to improve the quality of pyrolysis oil for better usages, such as for diesel generators and heavy machines like tractors, harvesters, road rollers, etc.
Usages of refined pyrolysis oil
As the world continues to seek sustainable and efficient ways to manage waste and produce fuel oil energy, the combination of the DOING waste recycling pyrolysis machine and the pyrolysis oil distillation machine offers a promising solution.
