How is diesel made from waste plastic?

As we know, plastic is a kind of petroleum product made up of polymers; in other words, plastic is made from crude oil extracted from under the ground. Therefore, by recycling waste plastic, we can also get products like diesel. Right now, waste plastic to diesel recycling machine is a hot choice for most investors to get diesel from waste plastic.

The waste plastics to diesel recycling machine mainly uses the principle of pyrolysis to decompose the waste plastic polymers into smaller carbon chains, namely fuel oil. And the fuel oil is then further refined into diesel. The waste plastics to diesel recycling machine designed and manufactured by Doing Company has the latest high temperature pyrolysis and refining technology, which can ensure that the waste plastic is fully pyrolyzed, condensed and refined into diesel so as to bring great considerable profits to investors.

Waste plastic to oil plant

However, plastics is complicated and it has various kinds of types. Can all plastics produce good quality diesel? The answer, of course, is negative.

Firstly, PVC and PET are not suitable to obtain fuel oil through the way of pyrolysis. PVC can release corrosive chlorine under high temperature and produce HCL during pyrolysis reaction, which is not good for pyroysis reactor of waste plastic to diesel recycling machine. PET produces alcohol rather than fuel oil during pyrolysis. So pure PVC and PET are not suitable as the raw material, but mixed plastics are OK. The diesel got from mixed plastics can be used as industrial heating fuel for brick factories, cement factories, steel mills, etc.

PE is a very good kind of plastic to obtain good quality diesel. But PE has problems with paraffin wax. To get good quality diesel from PE plastic, you need to use a special catalyst that can effectively remove the paraffin wax mixed inside the fuel oil.

Different plastic materials with different oil yield

PP and PS are mostly recommended if you wanna get good quality diesel and use it for transportation vehicles. Since the molecular structure of hydrocarbons of the diesel got from PP and PS are very close to normal diesel. However, PP and PS plastics are not as common as other kinds of plastics in our daily lives, usually their price is relatively higher.

So we can see the diesel quality is different for different kinds of plastics. If you wanna make higher quality diesel from plastics, please feel free to contact Henan Doing Company to get the best solution and customize the best waste plastic to diesel recycling machine at 100% factory price!
