Introduction
The Solid Waste Pyrolysis and Refining Educational Unit Operations Pilot Plant is an integrated, pilot-scale laboratory system designed to bridge the gap between theoretical textbook concepts and practical industrial applications. Developed specifically for engineering departments in higher education, this pilot plant enables students to explore the thermochemical conversion of solid waste and the subsequent multi-stage refining of pyrolysis oil. By combining solid waste pyrolysis, gas-liquid-solid separation, fractional distillation, and catalytic hydrogenation (including desulfurization and denitrification) into a single operating unit, the system provides a comprehensive platform for teaching fundamental chemical and environmental engineering principles.
Customization Capabilities
To meet the specific requirements of different university curricula, laboratory spaces, and research focus areas, this pilot plant features a highly adaptable design. We offer comprehensive customization options covering both the hardware and software components. This ensures the equipment can be tailored to match the precise scale, sensor configurations, and user interface preferences of your academic institution.
