MSW Pyrolysis Plant

Welcome

Introduction of MSW pyrolysis plant

MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) pyrolysis ‌ is a process that converts organic matter in solid waste into energy sources such as syngas, pyrolysis oil and char through high-temperature decomposition.

Our MSW pyrolysis plant not only has high efficiency, but also can process different types of municipal solid waste, such as waste rubber, tires, waste plastics, medical waste, waste oil sludge, coal tar oil, and more.

why choose us

AGICO MSW pyrolysis plant advantage

high energy conversion efficiency

MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) pyrolysis can achieve high energy conversion rates exceeding 50% and energy conversion efficiencies above 60% due to its ability to transform waste into usable energy products like bio-oil, gas, and char, making it a promising method for waste-to-energy applications.

Reduce environment pollution

This technology proceeds with the pyrolysis reaction under anaerobic conditions, avoiding the production of harmful gases, such as dioxins, which are common in traditional waste incineration. In addition, this technology reduces environmental pollution, such as landfill pollution, soil pollution, and health problems.

Reduce energy costs

The MSW pyrolysis technology could reduce energy costs and improve economic efficiency. Through the continuous pyrolysis production process, the MSW can be converted into gas, liquid, and solid products with high energy density. It reduces the volume of MSW and is convenient for storage and transportation.

Wide range of application

MSW pyrolysis plant equipment is suitable for processing many types of garbage, including tire, rubber, coal, plastic, biomass, etc, with strong adaptability. In addition, we could select appropriate equipment specifically for our customers based on their specific conditions. This personalized design ensures that customer requirements are met.

process of MSW pyrolysis plant

STEP 1: Pretreatment: Before pyrolysis, solid waste needs pretreatment. Bulk impurities, Metal, glass, and other non-combustible substances are crushed solid waste into suitable particles. In addition, pretreatment also includes the waste being dried to reduce its moisture content and increase its calorific value.
‌STEP 2: Pyrolysis: When the reactor achieves pyrolysis temperature(800-1000℃), MSW begins pyrolysis. In this stage, the organic material of MSW begins pyrolysis, producing gas liquid, and solid. The gas mainly includes carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and other flammable gases, liquid products are mainly tar, and solid products are incineration slag. AGICO pyrolysis reactors are made of refractory materials to reduce heat loss and save energy.
STEP 3: Condense system: It mainly recycles gas produced by pyrolysis and reduces the emission of pollutants. By cooling the gas produced by pyrolysis, the condensation system condenses the water vapor and oil in it into a liquid, thus achieving energy recovery and pollutant control.
STEP 4: Exhaust gas treatment system: Gas produced by high-temperature pyrolysis needs to be purified by an exhaust gas treatment system to remove hazardous material such as Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, etc. After purification, the exhaust gas can meet environmental protection emission standards and then be discharged into the atmosphere. At the same time, the heat energy from high temperatures could be recycled by the thermal energy recovery system and turned into vapor to generate power and heating.

equipment of pyrolysis of municipal solid waste

municipal solid waste crusher

MSW pyrolysis crushing is an efficient and eco-friendly technology. Various types of municipal solid waste (such as rubber, plastic, coal, etc.) are broken through mechanical destruction to reduce their volume and improve their recycling or combustible properties. It breaks down waste by cutting it with a high-speed rotating blade and then sorting it according to size and shape. This crusher has the characteristics of high efficiency, environmental protection, and strong versatility.

pyrolysis reactor

A pyrolysis reactor is an important piece of equipment. Municipal solid waste enters the pyrolysis furnace and produces chemical reactions under conditions of high temperature without oxygen. This reaction makes municipal solid waste turn into syngas, char, and pyrolysis oil. Pyrolysis reactor has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection, and resource-saving, which can quickly turn municipal solid waste into renewable resources, and realize the recycling of resources.

condense system

Through the condensation technology, the water vapor and volatile organic compounds generated during the pyrolysis process can be condensed into a liquid, thus recovering a large amount of heat and improving the overall thermal efficiency. The condensing system could recover most of the volatile organic compounds and reduce the direct discharge of these substances into the atmosphere, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

Cyclone separator

It is used for gas-solid separation. The working principle is that the rotating motion caused by the tangential introduction of the airflow causes the solid particles or liquid droplets with large inertial centrifugal force to be separated from the outer wall. It plays a key role in the development and utilization of MSW pyrolysis energy. The main function of a pyrolysis cyclone separator is to separate the charcoal powder from syngas to improve the quality of the oil.

Applications of MSW Pyrolysis Products

Char

Char is a special carbon, that is usually used for soil amendment, it could help plants grow and improve soil structure and soil fertility.
The char has developed a pore structure and strong adsorption capacity, which could make desiccant and adsorbent.
In the metal process, Charcoal is often used as a carburizing agent to improve the hardness and wear resistance of steel.

Syngas

The syngas could used for chemical raw materials, through different processing technologies, using syngas as raw materials to produce propylene, ethylene, methanol, and other chemical products.
The syngas could not only be used for boiler fuel, but also used in gas turbine power generation. Using syngas as fuel, electricity.
In the steelmaking industry, syngas is used as a reducing agent in blast furnaces.

Pyrolysis oil

It is an important material and is used for producing fuel oil, lubricating oil, etc.
It is used as organic synthetic raw materials, used in the manufacture of coatings, and pigments.
It is used for production of pesticide raw materials, such as the production of insecticides, fungicides
It is used as a raw material for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates and for the synthesis of drugs.

Significance of MSW pyrolysis

01. Rational use of resources

The primary significance of MSW pyrolysis lies in the rational utilization of resources. The waste contains many valuable resources. For example, waste plastic, waste rubber, and waste tire could be pyrolysis, which turns into pyrolysis oil, syngas, and char. This technology could recycle this resource. It not only avoids waste, but also reduces the over-exploitation and consumption of natural resources.

02. Reduce pollution for environment

MSW pyrolysis could play a role in reducing pollution for the environment. When waste is thrown around, it will cause pollution and damage to the environment. For example, waste piled up in public will produce infectious bacteria. Waste dumped into lakes will cause water pollution. Waste incineration will generate hazardous gas and material, it will pollute the atmosphere. Through MSW pyrolysis could be recycled and reused to reduce environmental pollution.
