After the pyrolysis is completed, the oil vapor separated is at about 250°C. It is not condensed but directly enters the distillation kettle 1 online. After the temperature is slightly increased to about 300°C, the light components in the oil can be separated and sent to the distillation tower 2 for further processing, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of reheating after condensation. At the same time, the heavy components enter the flash tower 3 for further processing, effectively removing impurities, ensuring the quality of the oil, and realizing the online synchronous pyrolysis mixed oil refining.

After entering the heavy oil tank 15 for buffering, it is transported to an external storage area via an external oil pump.
[0032] The working process of the above-mentioned pyrolysis mixed oil online refining equipment is as follows:
[0033] After the pyrolysis is completed, the oil vapor separated is at about 250°C and enters the distillation kettle 1 directly online without condensation.

After a slight increase in temperature to about 300°C, the light components in the oil can be separated, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of reheating after condensation.
[0036] Distillation and refining of pyrolysis mixed oil effectively removes odorous substances and impurities through physical separation. The specific process involves loading the pyrolysis oil into a distillation tower. By controlling temperature and pressure, impurities, due to their higher boiling points, are retained at the bottom of the tower, thereby separating them from the pyrolysis oil. This method not only removes odorous substances and impurities, but also improves the quality and purity of the oil.
[0037] Distillation of pyrolysis oil mixtures not only excels in removing impurities but also significantly improves product quality. By meticulously controlling temperature and pressure, harmful substances in the pyrolysis oil are effectively removed, resulting in a higher-quality product. Furthermore, process parameters can be adjusted during the distillation process to further optimize product properties and tailor them to specific application requirements.
[0038] Pyrolysis mixed oil distillation and refining also excels in environmental performance. This technology uses high-temperature thermal cracking to treat hazardous substances, reducing potential environmental damage. The process produces no secondary pollution, demonstrating excellent environmental performance. Furthermore, this technology is applicable to the treatment of a variety of oily sludges, minimizing negative environmental impacts.
