R&D Background of Pyrolysis Equipment

R&D Background of Pyrolysis Equipment

The development of oil sludge pyrolysis equipment is driven by a combination of policy, technology, and market demand, with the following core background factors:

I. Policy Drivers: Rigid Requirements from Hazardous Waste Management and Carbon Neutrality Goals

Upgrading of Hazardous Waste Disposal Standards

As a key hazardous waste under national regulation, traditional disposal methods such as landfilling and incineration for oil sludge have been gradually restricted due to high risks of secondary pollution. Policies mandate that waste-generating enterprises adopt resource-based and harmless disposal technologies.

Carbon Neutrality Goals Driving Energy Transition

Oil sludge pyrolysis converts hazardous waste into recycled fuel oil, aligning with the policy direction of "pollution reduction and carbon reduction." Relevant projects can enjoy tax reductions and special subsidies, providing policy support for equipment R&D.

II. Market Pain Points: Disposal Gap Between Existing and Incremental Oil Sludge

Severe Backlog of Existing Oil Sludge

China has an accumulated historical stock of over tens of millions of tons of oil sludge, with annual new additions exceeding 10 million tons. Traditional disposal methods can no longer meet the massive demand, creating an urgent need for efficient, large-scale technologies.

Urgent Demand for Cost Reduction Among Enterprises

Petroleum refining and storage companies face high costs for hazardous waste disposal. Building in-house pyrolysis units enables on-site resource utilization of oil sludge and reduces external disposal expenses, creating clear market demand.

III. Technological Iteration: Demand for Upgrading from Low to High Efficiency

Limitations of Early Technologies

Early pyrolysis equipment suffered from high energy consumption, low oil yield, and poor environmental compliance. Issues such as coking on walls and waste gas leakage resulted in short continuous operation times and high maintenance costs.

Direction of Technological Breakthroughs

R&D focuses on skid-mounted design, intelligence, and environmental compliance. By integrating wolf tooth bar anti-coking systems, high-efficiency tail gas purification devices, and automated control systems, equipment stability and economic efficiency have been significantly improved.

IV. Industrial Upgrading: Promoting Localization and Intelligence of Equipment

High Costs and Poor Adaptability of Imported Equipment

The early reliance on imported equipment led to issues such as high prices, slow after-sales support, and poor adaptability to domestic oil sludge composition, driving independent R&D and technological breakthroughs in domestic equipment.

Trend of Intelligence

With the development of industrial internet technology, new-generation pyrolysis equipment integrates IoT monitoring and remote operation and maintenance, further improving operational efficiency and safety.
