Is waste plastic pyrolysis plant profitable？

Waste plastic pyrolysis plant, with the superiority of low capital investment and high return, has become the preferred waste disposal method in many countries. The plant can deal with various kinds of waste plastic, including PE, PP, PS, ABS, paper-mill waste, etc. It can convert these waste plastics into useful resources, such as fuel oil, carbon black, both of which have good selling market and wide application.

Fuel Oil

The main product generated by waste plastic pyrolysis plant is fuel oil, which is widely used as fuel for iron factory, power plant, cement factory, restaurant ,etc. And it also can be reprocessed into diesel by waste oil distillation machine for wider applications.

Carbon Black

The carbon black can be used for construction bricks with clay or used as fuel. If further processed by carbon black processing plant, the carbon black can be deep processed into N220, N330 carbon black, which has higher value and wider applications. Moreover, it can be made into pellet or briquette for burning, or further processed into color master batch as basic material to make pipes, cable jacket etc.

Economic Profit Analysis of Waste Plastic Pyrolysis Plant

Waste plastic pyrolysis plant has a tremendous ROI. To demonstrate the same we are showing below how your investment will be paid back in just couple of months after starting the plant. The below is a sample calculation:

The price of waste plastics: 30USD/T The average oil rate:28%

1ton of crude oil feedstock costs: (1÷28%) ×30=107USD

Coal costs: 0.4T × 110USD/T=44 USD

Cost of electricity: 15USD

Labor costs: 3 × 50 = 150USD

Crude oil market price: 600USD/T

The production of one ton of fuel oil profits: 600-107 - 44 -15 -150= 284USD

The above analysis and calculation show that it shall be beneficial both to the country and civilians to extract fuel oil and carbon black from waste plastic. It is feasible in terms of technique, with advantages of small investment, easy raw material, rapid recovery and favorable prospect; therefore, it is an optimal choice to invest.
