What is Pyrolysis Plant for Sale in South Africa?
Waste Management Issues in South Africa-Tyre/Plastic/Oil Sludge
Tyre
South Africa suffers from inappropriate disposal of waste tires. Scrap tires are often sent to landfill or incinerated. This results in the release of harmful pollutants and toxins into the air, soil, and water. In addition, burning tires releases harmful substances that cause air pollution and pose health risks.
Plastic
South Africa has a serious plastic pollution problem, especially along the coast. Single-use plastic items, such as bottles, bags, and food packaging, are a major source of plastic pollution. Inappropriate waste management and inadequate recycling infrastructure are the main causes of plastic pollution.
Oil Sludge
Oil refineries and the petrochemical industry are sources of oil sludge pollution in South Africa. If not disposed of properly, oil sludge can contaminate soil and water resources. This poses environmental and health risks. Proper disposal methods are essential to mitigate oil sludge contamination.

How to Get Pyrolysis Oil in South Africa?
Pyrolysis plants in South Africa go through four systems to obtain pyrolysis oil. Including pyrolysis system, condensation system, dust removal system and slag removal system. The following are the roles these systems play in the pyrolysis process.
NO.1 Pyrolysis
The pyrolysis reactor rotates under the action of the driving device. This achieves uniform heating of the material. The raw material continuously absorbs heat in the reactor, and when it reaches the pyrolysis temperature, it begins to crack to produce oil and gas.
NO.2 Condensing
The high-temperature oil gas is liquefied when it is cooled. Then it becomes fuel oil, which is stored in the fuel tank. The non-liquefiable combustible gas is purified and stabilized by the water seal and then sent to the furnace to provide fuel for the heating of the reactor.
NO.3 De-dusting
The high-temperature flue gas inside the combustion chamber is first cooled by the flue condenser, and then the cooled flue gas is introduced into the dust removal tower through the induced draft fan, and then discharged through the chimney after dust removal and odor removal.
NO.4 Discharging
The first spiral slagging device transports the carbon black in the furnace. After that, the system transports the carbon black in the furnace to the slag box or a designated location using a water-cooled slag discharger.
FAQs About Environmental Performance of Pyrolysis Plant in South Africa
1. Enter the main furnace and then react;
2. Connect the water pipe to the firing chamber and add nozzles for combustion;
3. After centralized collection, entrust an external sewage treatment system for treatment.
