Work Flow of Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Plant

Our waste oil sludge pyrolysis plant has an exhaust gas treatment system that meets the European Emission Standard. Don’t worry about polluting your working conditions or environment. Here is a workflow diagram of a oil sludge pyrolysis plant for your reference.

01Pretreatment and Feeding

Three feeding methods for different oil sludge liquid contents:

Below liquid content 40% : belt conveyor; 40%-60% liquid content: shaftless spiral; More than 75% liquid content: sludge pump.

02Oil Sludge Thermal Desorption

Thermal desorption reaction occurs in a high-temperature microaerobic reaction environment. During the reaction, oil sludge undergoes the following changes in thermal desorption equipment:

Under high-temperature conditions, long-chain hydrocarbons in oil sludge are broken into small molecular hydrocarbons. Condensable components in the oil gas can be cooled through the condenser to form fuel oil. Non-condensable oil gas is purified by water sealing to form syngas, which provide energy for the reactor.

03Exhaust Gas Treatment

The high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the flue condenser and spray tower for cooling and dust removal. In addition, we provide high-end exhaust gas treatment systems, including electrostatic dust removal, activated carbon dust removal, and desulfurization and denitrification treatment. The flue gas emitted by high-end exhaust gas treatment can meet EU standards.

04Solid Residue Discharge

Some solid substances in oil sludge cannot participate in the thermal desorption and eventually form solid residues. The solid residue is discharged through the water-cooled screw conveyor.

05Emission Gas Recycling

When heating the reactor, the emission gas is cooled down in the flue condenser at first. After that, it goes to high-end emission gas treatment system (water washing, water spray, ceramic ring adsorption, and activated carbon adsorption). Finally, the discharged emission gas meets the European emission standards.
