Why is a continuous pyrolysis reactor more popular than a batch pyrolysis reactor now?

Continuous pyrolysis reactors have become more and more popular than batch pyrolysis reactors for setting up pyrolysis plant projects. Why is it like this? The following I will discuss.

1. Operational efficiency

Continuous pyrolysis reactors operate non-stop, processing feedstock continuously without any downtime. This results in higher efficient and productivity compared to batch pyrolysis reactors, which require intermittent stops for loading, unloading, and cooling processes.

2. Better process control and automation

DOING continuous pyrolysis reactor is fully automatic and controlled by PLC system. The continuous system offers greater control over operational parameters like temperature, pressure, and feed rate. They can be easily automated for a more consistent output quality, reducing the need for manual intervention.

3. Energy efficiency

Continuous pyrolysis reactors require less energy per unit of output compared to batch pyrolysis reactors since they maintain a constant temperature, eliminating the need for periodic heating and cooling cycles.

4. Processing capacity

Continuous pyrolysis reactors have large processing capacity(15/20/30/40/50TPD). For example, 50TPD fully continuous pyrolysis reactor can convert waste raw materials into valuable fuel oil in a short period of time. On the contrary, batch type pyrolysis reactor (100/500kg, 1/2/5/10/12/15/18/20TPD)need to work for more than 2 days to process 50T waste raw materials.

5. Reduced labor costs

The automation and continuous nature of these pyrolysis reactors can reduce labor costs, as they just require about 2 laborers. In developed countries like Europe and America, the cost of workers is high, our European and American customers are more inclined to choose continuous type pyrolysis reactors.

Despite these advantages, continuous pyrolysis reactors may not always be the best choice for every application. For example, if you are green hand in pyrolysis business or you don't have large waste raw materials, batch pyrolysis reactors might be more appropriate. Choose batch type pyrolysis reactor or continuous type pyrolysis reactor depending on your actual situation.
