This DB-series batch distillation platform is configured for characterized tyre or plastic pyrolysis oil. The confirmed equipment-table range is 5-8 or 8-10 tonnes per day, with a reference oil yield of 80-90% and gross equipment weights of 55 or 60 tonnes. Actual fractions, product quality, heating duty and pressure configuration require feed analysis and a signed process specification; a vacuum stage is not promised unless it is included in that project specification.
How an Atmospheric Vacuum Distillation Plant Works
- Direct catalytic distillation - pyrolysis oil is pumped into the processor and catalytically heated to vaporize the oil.
- Vapor reforming and fractionation - the vapor reacts with catalysts, condenses, and is fractionated into base fuel oil.
- Fuel oil refinement - the base oil passes through sedimentation, filtration, chemical treatment and additive blending.
- Self-powered gas recycling - purified non-condensable gas is returned to fuel the processor burner, cutting energy use by about 30%.
- Emission-controlled flue gas treatment - alkali spray neutralization and an adsorption tower clean the flue gas before discharge (configured for project-specific emission-control requirements).
A high-temperature online discharge system continuously removes heavy-oil/asphalt residue to prevent coking and blockage. PLC + touch-screen control with remote monitoring, plus explosion-proof electricals, a pressure-relief valve and over-temperature alarm, keep the line safe and easy to operate.

Both models are batch-type, horizontal static designs with circulating-water cooling. The source table lists normal pressure; any vacuum-stage configuration must be confirmed in the signed process specification. Installation footprint is approximately 35 m × 20 m, with 1-2 operators per shift.
Expected Output Fractions
- Diesel-like fuel (80-90% reference) - stable, low-sulfur, low-odor fuel for blending or direct fuel use.
- Heavy oil / asphalt residue - discharged online through the high-temperature residue system.
- Fractionation products - per the FAQ, pyrolysis oil is fractionated into gasoline, diesel and residual oil fractions.

Atmospheric & Vacuum vs Atmospheric Distillation
| Atmospheric & Vacuum (this line) | Atmospheric | |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | Atmospheric + vacuum stages | Normal pressure only |
| Vacuum pump | Required | Not required |
| Structure | Multi-stage tower | Simpler structure, easier maintenance |
| Best for | Higher-grade fractionation, sulfur/chlorine removal | Primary processing, lower operating cost |
Choose atmospheric & vacuum for higher-grade fractionation of unstable, high-impurity pyrolysis oil; choose atmospheric where a simpler, lower-cost primary upgrade is enough.
