Pyrolysis Oil

Pyrolysis Oil is a liquid substance obtained in pyrolysis process and subsequent cooling. It is an oily organic compound, dark brown in colour which is the end product of waste tyre and plastic pyrolysis. Pyrolysis Oil is widely used as industrial fuel to substitute furnace oil and Light Diesel Oil (LDO). It can be used as liquid fuels for industrial furnaces, power plants and boilers. Currently it is being used as an alternative for furnace oil in many industries successfully. The fuel does not require pre-heating since it has lower density and lesser viscosity than furnace oil. The sulphur content is up to 0.9% where as in Furnace oil it is around 4% hence lower SOX pollution. It is a complex blend of molecules usually consisting more than 200 different compounds resulting from the depolymerisation of products treated in pyrolysis. Pyrolysis Oil remain interesting source of bio-chemicals and renewable compounds that meet significant market interest.
