What industries can use pyrolysis oil as alternative heating fuel?

Pyrolysis oil can be obtained by thermally decomposing various organic waste materials, such as waste rubber tires, waste plastic, waste oil sludge, coal tar, municipal solid waste, etc. into oil and gas in the absence of oxygen. The pyrolysis oil obtained by DOING Group pyrolysis plant can be used as a fuel for heating and power generation in some industries.

The industries that can use pyrolysis oil as an alternative heating fuel include:
(1)Heating industry: Pyrolysis oil can be used as a fuel for heating furnaces and boilers in the heating industry. And the pyrolysis oil can be used in various heavy industrial plants such as steel plants, cement plants, boiler plants, heavy oil power plants, etc.
Compared with traditional fuels, pyrolysis oil has a high calorific value, low sulfur content, and low ash content, which can meet the emission standards of heating furnaces and boilers.
(2)Chemical industry: Pyrolysis oil obtained from pyrolysis plant can also be used as a raw material for the chemical industry. For example, it can be used to produce organic acids, fatty acids, and other chemical products through further processing.

(3)Power generation industry: Pyrolysis oil can be used as a fuel for power generation. It can be burned directly in some gas turbines or reciprocating engines to generate electricity. In addition, pyrolysis oil can also be used in some types of fuel cells.
(4)District heating systems: Pyrolysis oil can be utilized in district heating systems, where a centralized plant provides heat to multiple buildings or a whole community. It can be distributed through a network of pipes to supply heat for space heating and domestic hot water.
It's important to note that the feasibility and applicability of pyrolysis oil as a heating fuel may depend on factors such as local regulations, infrastructure availability, and cost considerations. The specific requirements and considerations of each industry should be evaluated before implementing pyrolysis oil as an alternative heating fuel.
Considering different conditions of each country, you can choose a different way to deal with these pyrolysis oils. For example, there is a huge lack of electricity in the South of Africa, the pyrolysis oil used as a fuel to generate heat and electrical power which will help them to sort out many electricity problems. But also you can further refine the pyrolysis oil into diesel through a waste oil distillation plant to get diesel for more specific applications, such as diesel generator, trucks, ships, boats, etc.
