Pyrolysis Oil Co-Refining

A single-feed plant that runs only on used engine oil is exposed to every hiccup in that one supply chain. Pyrolysis oil co-refining blends used lubricants with plastic and used tire pyrolysis oil, coal tar, and similar low-value hydrocarbon streams into a single line, turning raw-material scarcity from a liability into a flexibility advantage.

Feedstocks That Fit a Single Train

Co-refined systems accept used engine oil, gear and hydraulic oils, cutting oils, plastic and tire pyrolysis oil, and certain coal-chemical byproducts such as coal tar and its distillates. Blending waste oil with pyrolysis-derived feed preserves stability and conversion efficiency while widening the plant’s total recoverable product.

Pretreatment Is the Quiet Gatekeeper

Pyrolysis and coal-tar materials carry chlorine, heavy metals, water, and reactive groups that poison catalysts and corrode equipment if left alone. A deep pretreatment stage delivering dehydration, degumming, dechlorination, and filtration protects everything downstream, and separates long stable campaigns from short, deferred ones.

Downstream Value Lies in Integration

After treatment, the blend moves through catalyst and molecular distillation to separate light distillates, middle distillates, and heavier base-oil cuts in a single closed loop. One integrated co-refining train delivers multiple saleable products at once, diversifying revenue across fuel and lubricant markets.

More Oil Out, Fewer Setbacks

The economics of co-refining work because the line keeps running. Multi-feed capability resists single-source spot-market shocks, while anti-coking and impurity design extends the continuous operating window and lifts overall yield against narrower units that process only a single material.
