Tyre and plastics have become one of the most widely used materials in human history. They are everywhere, both as disposable packaging and bags, and also as permanent parts of cars, computers, phones, toys, furniture, plates, appliances, stereos, and even building materials. The biggest problems with plastics are that they take so incredibly long to decompose. Some can take up to 1,000 years or more to break down when thrown into a landfill. If they are incinerated, they tend to release toxic chemicals that are poisonous to breathe and contaminate the local area. Now, however, there is a new technology (small pyrolysis unit) that can handle all types of plastics, as well as other solid waste like waste tyres, rubber waste and so on, releases no toxins, and can actually be profitable to run. These new machines are call pyrolysis plants. They’re using an old concept in a new way, baking the plastics until they decompose into basic ingredients that can then be sold for a profit. Here are some of the details of a small pyrolysis plant for sale.
What The Pyrolysis Process Does
Plastics are very carbon-centered products because of the way carbon forms bonds with other elements in long strings and groups. That’s only important because that’s what makes plastic, plastic. These bonds are hard to break and that’s why plastic lasts so long in the environment. It’s now believed that most fish in the sea and most birds in the air, have waste plastics in their stomachs all the time.
When plastics are burned they release tons of thick, black smoke, and various toxic chemicals, sometimes dioxin, a potent poison. However, if plastics are heated to a high temperature, about 400 C, without any oxygen present, they decompose into very basic ingredients without releasing any toxins.
The basic ingredients are mostly fuel oil, carbon black, and some combustible gases. The fuel oil is easily sold on the open market to industrial clients or refined further into diesel fuel for cars. The carbon black is used to make black rubber for tires and is a commodity traded in large quantities. The remaining gases are mostly propane, butane and methane, all of which can be used by the waste tyre pyrolysis plant in its own operation to bake the plastics. This helps make operating a pyrolysis unit economical.
However, if you have a large amount of plastic waste and other acceptable waste (like tyres and rubber waste) to dispose of, a small type plant will be far from enough and you will need a larger one. Click here to learn more: https://bestonmalaysia.com/continuous-pyrolysis-plant/.
Why Small Pyrolysis Unites Are An Advantage
Every small, medium and large city on earth has to have someplace to dump its garbage. Overflowing garbage landfills are everywhere, we simply make more garbage than we have room for and it’s getting worse by the day. However, since a high percentage of all waste thrown away are plastic bottles, bags, packaging, and other products, all of that can be sent to a small batch type pyrolysis unit. It can be as much as 25% or more of the total waste in some recycling centers.
By having the small batch plant located right at the landfill or waste reception center, the plastics can be immediately shredded and run through the pyrolysis machine with no more wasted time or money spent on transportation. Pyrolysis plants can be purchased in almost any size, all you need to do is know your daily tonnage and make sure you allow for busy seasons so you have enough extra capacity.
