Pyrolysis

Evonik adsorbents, catalysts and process additives support pyrolysis-oil contaminant removal, stabilization and handling targets in selected chemical recycling processes.

Pyrolysis: A Key Enabler for Circular Plastics

Pyrolysis converts plastic waste into synthetic crude oil, called Pyrolysis oil. This oil can be utilized directly in established production processes or undergo further refinement. Pyrolysis can support selected chemical-recycling routes for plastic waste streams under defined process and feedstock conditions. Pyrolysis oil is an alternative to fossil naphtha, which can be reintegrated into the production cycle as a key starting material for plastics.

Why Choose Evonik for Pyrolysis?

• Superior Purification: Remove contaminants and stabilize pyrolysis oil for downstream processing.

• Operational Efficiency: Reduce or prevent downtime, simplify handling from production to transport and further processing, and enhance oil quality with customized solutions.

• Sustainability at the Core: Evonik solutions support selected chemical-recycling process steps for converting plastic waste streams into downstream feedstock.

By combining pyrolysis & upgradation processes with Evonik’s solutions, we promote a sustainable future in plastic production.
