What should be a storage tank capacity good enough to build for pyrolysis plants?

Industry news / DATE:2024/7/16

The storage tank of pyrolysis plant is mainly for the storage of the obtained pyrolysis oil, and its capacity is not only affected by the processing capacity of pyrolysis plant, but also related to the oil yield of the processing raw materials and storage period. Take DOING pyrolysis plant as an example, the storage tank capacity ranges from tens of cubic meters to tens of thousands of cubic meters.

Comprehensively speaking, the selection of pyrolysis oil storage tank is affected by the following 3 aspects:

1. Oil yields of processed raw materials 

Generally, pyrolysis plants can recycle various waste, such as waste tires, rubber, plastics, solar panels, aluminum plastic, medical waste, oil sludge, etc., which has various oil content, affecting the quantity of finally obtained pyrolysis oil. Take the waste tires as an example, its oil yield varies from 35% to 52%. That means, if our customer processes ten tons of waste tires, we can obtain about 3.5 tons to 5.2 tons of pyrolysis oil per day, which is also an important factor to select suitable storage tank capacity.

2. Period of oil storage

As the above calculates, if our customer per day can obtain about 3.5 tons of pyrolysis oil, and the customer wants to store the oil for about 10 days, then at least 35 tons of oil must be accommodated by the storage tank of about 40 cubic meters.

3. Processing capacity of pyrolysis plant

Based on the capacity of the pyrolysis plant that the customer wants to install, it is possible to calculate the capacity of the storage tank that can be installed. For example, the processing capacity of DOING pyrolysis plant ranges from 100kg to 50 tons per day. Small pyrolysis plant can be matched to a smaller storage tank, and large a larger capacity storage tank should be matched with DOING fully continuous design pyrolysis plant.

Too small a storage tank will lead to insufficient capacity to store oil, and too large a capacity will cause energy waste and cost increases. Therefore, before the customer chooses the oil storage tank, it is best to confirm with the DOING professional business manager what the processing capacity of the pyrolysis plant he wants to install is and the processing raw materials, storage period and other elements, and then our sales manager can help calculate the most appropriate oil storage tank capacity for the customer according to the needs. Looking forward to your inquiry.
