What is the minimum amount of land space required to set up and operate pyrolysis machine?

The minimum amount of land space required to set up and operate a pyrolysis machine is about 100 square meters, which can vary significantly depending on several factors. In addition to the main component-pyrolysis machine, we also need to reserve additional areas to ensure the successful running of the pyrolysis machine, such as raw material storing space, additional infrastructure needs, and some areas to meet local regulatory requirements for safety and environmental protection, etc.

Factory planning for pyrolysis machine setting

Then let us have a brief learning about these factors that affect the land space for setting up and operating pyrolysis machines:

1. Machine Capacity: As the formost component for setting up pyrolysis machine project, size of the pyrolysis machine affects the area of the entire project to a certain extent. Generally, the capacity of pyrolysis machines can range from small-scale units processing a few Kilograms of material per day to large industrial plants handling hundreds of tons daily, such as 100/ 500kg, 1/5/10/12/15/30/50 tons per day for your choice. Of course, the larger the processing capacity of the pyrolysis machine, the larger the land space required for installation and operation.

2. Feedstock Storage: During the factory planning process, we need to reserve a certain area for storing raw materials, and the type and amount of raw materials you plan to use will impact the whole land space for setting up and operating pyrolysis machine. Bulky materials like scrap tires or plastic wastes may need substantial outdoor storage areas.

3. Preprocessing Area: Some feedstocks may require preprocessing before feeding into the pyrolysis reactor, which adds to the overall space requirement. For example, if we adopt the continuous pyrolysis machine, we need to pretreat waste tires to rubber powder between 16 and 18 mesh, which needs to equip a set of waste tyres to rubber production line equipment.

4. Safety and Buffer Zones: Adequate spacing must be maintained around the pyrolysis unit for safety reasons, including fire breaks and emergency access routes.

5. Product Storage and Handling: After processing, the output—such as pyrolysis oil, combustible gas, and carbon black —will need storage facilities and potentially loading/unloading areas for transportation.

6. Additional Infrastructure: Depending on the exhaust gas emission standards in your area, you need to equip different air pollution control systems like tail-gas cleaning system and desulfurization tower, which need various space; in addition, some customers will choose to set up a big water cooling pool to ensure the cooling effect of the cooling system to enhance the high oil yield, which also occupies a certain area.

All in all, the calculation of the land space required to set up and operate pyrolysis machine needs to consider many factors, while a minimum of 100 square meters might suffice for smaller operations, larger plants will require significantly more space.
