Furthermore, it selects catalysts that react with the remaining sulfur and metals to further reduce their content. Catalysts with highly active sites are chosen to improve pyrolysis efficiency. The proportions of different catalysts are determined to achieve optimal pyrolysis results. Integrating different catalysts to form the final catalyst configuration helps control the sulfur migration coefficient and the catalytic activity of metal components, thus improving the quality and yield of light oil.

The mechanism of action of the sulfur migration coefficient (gas phase proportion) influencing factors is that when gaseous sulfur > 30%, increasing the carrier gas flow rate (0.5-0.8 m³ / h) accelerates the discharge. The mechanism by which residual sulfur content affects the concentration is that when sulfur content is >3%, H2 / The mixed gas (H2 content 20%-30%) promotes the desulfurization reaction; the mechanism of influence of raw material moisture content is that when the moisture content is >1%, pure gas is used. Carrier gas (flow rate +30%) is used to prevent water vapor condensation and blockage; the mechanism by which factors affecting the pressure of the pyrolysis furnace work is to maintain a slight negative pressure (-10). At pressures below -50 kPa, gas leakage is prevented; when pressure fluctuations exceed 5 kPa, flow regulation is triggered. Based on the mechanism of action, an example of output control is provided:
[0201] 1. When the gaseous sulfur content is 40%, the carrier gas flow rate is: ;
[0202] 2. When the sulfur content is 4%, It is 25% / 75%;

The actual temperature of the main pyrolysis section and the desulfurization section temperature are corrected using the pre-set correction model based on the thermal conductivity. The dynamic pyrolysis temperature is calculated based on the corrected thermal conductivity.
[0228] This scheme effectively removes the sulfur content coefficient from the material by determining the desulfurization section temperature and residence time, thereby reducing the sulfur content coefficient of light oil, improving the quality of light oil, and reducing environmental pollution. Based on the remaining metal content and metal catalytic activity index, a suitable atmosphere and expected temperature for the main cracking section are determined to improve the efficiency of the cracking reaction. The expected temperature of the main cracking section is adjusted according to the hydrocarbon content of the products to further optimize the quality and yield of the cracking products, ensuring the quality of the light oil.

[0229] In some embodiments, the moisture content of the raw material is compared with a preset moisture content threshold, and based on the comparison result, it is determined whether to perform staged drying. If staged drying is determined, the control parameters of the drying section are determined based on the moisture content of the raw material and the drying temperature. Determining the control parameters of the drying section based on the moisture content of the raw material and the drying temperature includes the following steps: comparing the drying temperature with a first temperature range to determine whether to perform dewatering; if the drying temperature is within the first temperature range, it is determined that dewatering should be performed, and the processing equipment is controlled to perform dewatering; comparing the drying temperature with a second temperature range to determine whether to perform oxidation pretreatment; if the drying temperature is within the second temperature range, it is determined that oxidation pretreatment should be performed, and the processing equipment is controlled to perform oxidation pretreatment; and determining the atmosphere of the main reaction section based on the sulfur migration coefficient and the remaining sulfur content.

[0235] Specifically, based on process requirements and equipment capacity, a preset moisture content threshold is set. The raw material moisture content is compared with the preset threshold. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether staged drying is required. If the raw material moisture content is higher than the preset threshold, staged drying is performed. A suitable drying temperature is selected based on the raw material moisture content and drying requirements. The required drying section control parameters are calculated using a drying kinetic model based on the raw material moisture content and drying temperature. A first temperature range suitable for dewatering is defined based on material characteristics, drying section control parameters, and drying requirements. The drying temperature is compared with the preset first temperature range. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether dewatering is performed. If the drying temperature is within the first temperature range, dewatering is performed. Operating parameters such as heater power and ventilation speed are adjusted according to the first temperature range to dewater. A second temperature range suitable for oxidation pretreatment is defined based on material characteristics, drying section control parameters, and oxidation pretreatment requirements. The drying temperature is compared with the preset second temperature range. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether oxidation pretreatment is performed. If the drying temperature is within the second temperature range, oxidation pretreatment is performed. The oxidation pretreatment is performed by adjusting the heater power, ventilation speed, and other operating parameters of the equipment according to the second temperature range. A suitable atmosphere for the main reaction section is selected based on the sulfur migration coefficient and residual sulfur content.
[0236] This scheme determines whether staged drying is necessary by comparing the raw material moisture content with a preset moisture threshold, ensuring the material reaches a suitable moisture content before entering the processing stage and improving pyrolysis efficiency. Based on the raw material moisture content and drying temperature, the control parameters for the drying section are determined, helping to optimize the drying process, reduce energy consumption, and ensure the material is not overheated or over-dried during drying. By controlling the dewatering process in the treatment equipment, free water in the material is removed, reducing the adverse effects of moisture on the pyrolysis reaction and improving the quality of the pyrolysis products. Oxidation pretreatment improves the chemical structure of the material, increasing the efficiency of the pyrolysis reaction and optimizing the distribution and quality of the pyrolysis products. Based on the sulfur migration coefficient and residual sulfur content, the atmosphere of the main reaction section is determined, effectively controlling the sulfur migration coefficient, reducing the sulfur content in light oil, and improving oil quality.
