What is the difference between the pyrolysis oil extracted from waste tires and waste plastics?

The oil extracted from waste tires and waste plastics is collectively referred to as pyrolysis oil, which can be understood as fuel oil for industrial use. As fuel oil used in industry, both tire pyrolysis oil and plastic pyrolysis oil are high-calorific value fuels, and can be widely used in industry or boiler heating, such as cement plants, steel plants, glass plants, ceramic factories, brick factories, etc. But there are also some differences between these two kinds of pyrolysis oil.

Next, Henan Doing Company will give you a detailed introduction about the differences between the pyrolysis oil extracted from waste tires and waste plastics from the six aspects of oil color, viscosity, combustion calorific value, density, impurity content, and odor.

1. Oil color

In terms of color and luster of pyrolysis oil extracted from waste tires and waste plastics pyrolysis plant, the color of plastic pyrolysis oil is clearer than that of tire pyrolysis oil. The color of plastic pyrolysis oil is reddish brown, while tire pyrolysis oil is black red.

2. Oil viscosity

The viscosity of pyrolysis oil extracted from waste plastics is lower than that of waste tires, so the quality of plastic pyrolysis oil will be more advantageous than that of tire pyrolysis oil. Because the pyrolysis oil with low viscosity is not easy to block the nozzle of the burner. Therefore, the plastic pyrolysis oil has low viscosity and strong fluidity, and it can be applied in a wider range of fields.

3. Calorific value of combustion

As far as the combustion heat value of pyrolysis oil produced by pyrolysis plant is concerned, according to the SGS certification data report, the heat value of pyrolysis oil extracted from waste plastics is slightly higher. The calorific value of plastic pyrolysis oil is about 10500~11000 kcal, while that of tire pyrolysis oil is about 10000~10200 kcal.

4. Oil density

The density of tire pyrolysis oil is about 0.92g/cm³, and the density of plastic pyrolysis oil is about 0.89g/cm³. The density of tire pyrolysis oil is a little higher than that of plastic pyrolysis oil.

5. Oil impurity content

Judging from the impurity content in pyrolysis oil, the impurity content of plastic pyrolysis oil is lower than that of tire pyrolysis oil, and the oil of plastic pyrolysis oil is relatively cleaner.

6. Odor of oil

Tire pyrolysis oil is more volatile than plastic pyrolysis oil, so the smell of tire pyrolysis oil is slightly more pungent than plastic fuel oil. Due to the different characteristics of tires and plastics, the smell of tire pyrolysis oil will be greater, but this does not affect the quality of the oil.

The above 6 points are the main differences between tire pyrolysis oil and plastic pyrolysis oil. For more detailed data, you can private message or call to obtain the SGS report. And if you want to further refine tire plastic oil extracted from pyrolysis plant into higher quality diesel fuel for wider uses, we also can customize you suitable scale pyrolysis oil distillation plant.
