Thermal desorption unit is one of the best ways to repair the environment. The main purpose of using TDU is to evaporate and separate pollutants. Thermal desorption units are usually adopted in oil sludge recycling. After this process, you can get 15%-30% fuel oil, 30%-40% slag, 10%-20% combustible gas, and 30-50% water. The exact end-product ratio depends on the original waste content.

Introduction of Thermal Desorption Technology
The oil sludge thermal desorption unit heats the oil sludge to the pyrolysis temperature of hydrocarbon substances under the condition of no oxygen , and realizes the separation of water, oil ,syngas and residue through different physical temperature sections. The oil gas is recovered through the condensation system, and the waste discharge meets the national standard.
As a physical remediation method, pyrolysis technology for waste has the advantages of a wide range of pollutant treatment, high treatment efficiency, simple and flexible equipment, and no pollution in the process.
Since 1985, thermal desorption technology has been widely used in the remediation of soil, sludge, sediment, filter residue and other contaminated sites of organic pollutants. In addition, thermal desorption technology is also a good technical solution for the emergency restoration of some sudden organic pollution environmental accidents, such as sudden soil pollution accidents caused by accidental leakage and dumping.
Factories Suitable for Using Thermal Desorption Units
Oil sludge is a mixture of various forms in which crude oil or refined oil is mixed into soil or other media, and the oil in it cannot be directly recovered and may cause pollution. It is one of the main pollutants in the petrochemical industry.
Crude oil extraction may cause oil sludge that generally has the characteristics of high oil content, high viscosity, fine particles, and difficult dehydration.
Oil transportation will cause leaks inevitably. These oil sludges will directly contaminate soil and water quality and needs to be solved urgently.
Sewage treatment plant will produce a large amount of oil sludge such as oil trap bottom sludge, flotation tank scum, and crude oil tank bottom sludge.
Shipbuilding and repairing industry requires the use of heavy oil hydrocarbons, whose pollution will affect coastlines, river margins, and coastal sludge.

How Does Beston Thermal Desorption Unit Work?
Beston thermal desorption unit uses ex-situ processing, you need to collect the raw materials, and the automatic feeder will send the raw materials to the thermal desorption process for high temperature treatment. If you’d like to manage a large amount of raw materials in a short time, continuous tyre pyrolysis plant is a good choice.
Feeding System
For the fluid slurry or paste oily sludge (including packaging bags) with high water content, use bucket elevator or excavator to transfer and convey; for muddy oily sludge (including packaging bags) with low water content, use Machine forklift with belt conveyor or screw conveyor for transfer conveying.
Thermal Desorption
Anoxic (also called anaerobic) pyrolysis of petroleum in oily sludge, the pyrolysis temperature is 200-450 °C, the light oil components in oily sludge are distilled and heavy oils are decomposed into low-volatile Carbon hydrocarbon fuels, liquid fuels and solid carbon, etc.
Solid Slag Conveying
The solid components such as oily carbon residue after pyrolysis are transported out of the system after cooling and heat exchange through the slag sealing system. The carbon residue can be used as a raw material for thermal desorption again.
The oil and gas generated in the whole production process are condensed and recovered, enter the product storage tank, and sold as fuel oil products; the wastewater is sent to the water treatment station for treatment; the combustible gas is used as a fuel to heat the reactor; Brick factory used for making bricks.
