The Pyrojin municipal solid waste batch pyrolysis plant processes organic-rich MSW after pre-sorting. A two-stage pyrolysis process first cracks kitchen and textile waste into syngas, then gasification enhancement raises the calorific value of the gas for stable fuel quality. An advanced separation and screening system automatically removes non-combustible impurities such as glass and metal, protecting the reactor, while an integrated H2S scrubber keeps emissions clean.

How a Municipal Solid Waste Batch Pyrolysis Plant Works

  1. Pre-sorted organic-rich MSW (food and textile waste) is fed into the reactor; glass and metal are removed by the separation and screening system.
  2. The reactor is sealed and heated indirectly in a low-oxygen, anaerobic environment, so the flame never contacts the waste.
  3. The first pyrolysis stage cracks the organic material and releases a syngas-rich vapour.
  4. A second gasification-enhancement stage raises the gas calorific value and stabilises fuel quality.
  5. Flue gas passes through an integrated H2S scrubber to remove hydrogen sulphide, then an acid-base spray tower and adsorption tower, before discharge under the project's permitted limits.

The system runs as a closed loop, cutting direct landfill of organic waste and relieving environmental pressure.

Series capacity covers 1-15 t/d; PB-10/12/15 are the three standard models. Main reactor: horizontal rotation at 0.4 rpm, circulating-water cooling, external gear transmission, noise ≤85 dB, installation footprint approx. 35 m × 20 m, 4-6 operators per shift.

Outputs: Syngas, Char and Recovered Inerts

  • Syngas - released in the first pyrolysis stage and upgraded in the second gasification stage; used as fuel.
  • Recovered inerts - glass and metals separated out before the reaction zone, preventing equipment wear.

Key Equipment Features

  • Two-stage pyrolysis + gasification enhancement for syngas of stable, improved calorific value.
  • Advanced separation and screening to automatically remove glass and metal, preventing equipment wear.
  • Integrated H2S scrubber for hydrogen-sulphide removal and corrosion-resistant, clean emissions.
  • Indirect heating for uniform temperature control and longer reactor life (extended lifespan).
  • Low investment cost and compact footprint for fast payback.
  • External gear-ring drive for quiet, stable rotation.
  • Combustible gas recycling for lower fuel consumption.
  • Fully sealed horizontal rotary design for clean, closed operation.
  • Slight negative pressure with automatic submerged-arc welding and ultrasonic NDT for safety.
  • Multi-furnace tandem operation to reduce heat loss.
  • Multi-stage flue-gas purification for acid neutralisation and dust removal.

Batch vs Continuous Pyrolysis

Choose batch for smaller municipal volumes and a simpler system; choose continuous for high-volume, round-the-clock throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What MSW can be processed? Organic-rich municipal solid waste (food and textile waste) after pre-sorting; glass and metal are separated out automatically.
  • What is the delivery time? The delivery schedule and departure port are confirmed in the commercial quotation.
  • What payment methods do you accept? Mainly T/T; other methods on request.
  • Are you a factory or a trading company? We operate our own factory in Shangqiu, Henan, China.
  • Do you provide installation support? Installation, commissioning, training, warranty and maintenance support are defined in the supply contract.
  • What is the capacity? Standard PB-10/12/15 models cover 10/12/15 t/day (1-15 t/d range); capacity can be customised.
  • What information do I need for a quote? Waste composition, daily volume, project location and target outputs.

Batch municipal and landfill-waste equipment

Compare optional sorting with mixed-waste batch processing

Batch municipal and excavated landfill-waste pyrolysis can use an optionally sorted feed or a characterized mixed stream. An integrated mixed-feed route can reduce separate sorting equipment, land and labour costs, while moisture, ash, chlorine, metals, output use, emissions control and residue handling still define the final configuration.
