Project Background Overview

In 2024, an Indian customer, with extensive experience in the refining industry, decided to invest in a waste oil distillation project in Kenya. This customer visited DOING's Ghana waste oil distillation project site. They confirmed the non standard diesel produced could power generators. Following this, the customer visited the DOING factory to discuss equipment configurations and finalized the purchase of a 10TPD new waste oil distillation plant.

Distillation Stage:

Distillation is the first crucial step in the distillation process for waste oil. Waste oil is pumped into the reactor. A combination of thermal oil heating and direct heating at the base mechanism gradually raises the temperature to approximately 100 degrees Celsius. This temperature is maintained for a specific period to release some oil vapors and separate out impurities. Subsequently, the temperature is further increased to 380–400°C, causing the oil to release vapors in large quantities.

Core Advantage: Solid Catalytic Refining Technology

The key highlight of DOING's new solid catalytic distillation plant is its innovative solid catalytic refining technology. During the high temperature distillation stage, the generated oil gas directly enters DOING's specialized solid catalytic tower.

Simplified and Efficient Process: Compared to traditional liquid catalysis, solid catalytic refining bypasses the step of condensing oil gas into crude oil for further treatment. It directly purifies the oil gas, significantly shortening the overall production process.

Optimized Energy Consumption: The solid catalytic system operates with higher energy efficiency.

Environmental Benefits: It reduces the generation of waste liquids. This makes the entire process more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Automation and Stability: The highly automated design ensures stable and controllable production. This is ideal for modern industrial scale waste oil conversion.

Fine Treatment: Enhancing Product Purity and Appearance

After solid catalytic refining, the oil gas condenses into liquid. This liquid then enters the decolorization and deodorization unit. Through dedicated decolorization tanks and high efficiency blade filters, fine purification and decolorization treatment occurs. This effectively removes residual color and odors. The result is clean, bright colored non standard diesel. This step significantly boosts the commercial value of the product.

Equipment Installation and Onsite Commissioning

The DOING engineering team provided comprehensive guidance and assistance for equipment installation at the Kenya project site. The installation process strictly followed design standards. It included:

Precise positioning and connection of the reactor and solid catalytic tower.

Sealing tests for the circulating cooling system and pipelines.

Electrical wiring and program debugging for the integrated control system.

After installation, onsite technical personnel received thorough training. This covered equipment operation, daily maintenance, and solid catalytic tower management. It ensures smooth and efficient equipment operation.
