Pyrolysis oil
Pyrolysis oil offers significant potential as a renewable, waste derived resource for the oil and energy industry. GEA centrifuges ensure reliable downstream use and deliver consistent, stable oil quality.
Benefits of our centrifuges
- Reliable removal of solids and free water for stable oil quality
- Designed for variable feedstock and process conditions
- Nitrogen‑purged operation for safe handling of low‑flash‑point oils
- Compact, skid‑mounted systems for easy integration
- High availability through continuous, automated operation
- Suitable for hazardous areas (ATEX / IECEx)
Pyrolysis oil - From waste to valuable feedstock
Pyrolysis oil is produced by thermally converting organic materials in an oxygen‑free environment. Typical feedstocks include:
- Plastic waste
- End‑of‑life tires
- Biomass such as wood and agricultural residues
- Selected municipal or industrial waste streams
By converting waste into liquid hydrocarbons, pyrolysis supports circular‑economy concepts and helps reduce reliance on fossil resources. At the same time, raw pyrolysis oil is complex and often unstable, making appropriate treatment a critical step before further use.
The key to reliable operation
Untreated pyrolysis oil can be difficult to handle, store and further process.
Fine solids and free water reduce oil stability, while reactive components may accelerate equipment wear and corrosion.
Effective mechanical separation is essential to:
- Reduce solids and water for stable oil quality
- Prevent corrosion and equipment wear
- Enable safe storage and transport
- Prepare oil for further upgrading
Flexible separation for every challenge
GEA applies proven centrifugal separation technology to address the specific challenges associated with pyrolysis oil treatment. Our solutions are engineered to handle variable feedstock compositions while delivering a stable, process‑ready oil quality for downstream use.
GEA designs flexible mechanical separation concepts tailored to solids load, water content, oil properties and target specifications.
Efficient pyrolysis oil upgrading with GEA centrifuges for consistent, process-ready quality.
Flexible mechanical separation concepts
Primary solids removal
For oils with elevated solids content, an upstream decanter centrifuge can be used to remove coarse particles and stabilize the overall process.Oil polishing with disk stack centrifuges
High‑speed disk stack centrifuges remove remaining fine solids and free water, resulting in improved oil quality and process stability.Modular system design
Single‑stage or multi‑stage configurations allow adaption to varying feed qualities and performance requirements.Your partner for safe, efficient and sustainable pyrolysis oil treatment

Centrifuga decanter
Il momento dell'impiego del decanter sopraggiunge quando il contenuto di solidi nella sospensione da lavorare è particolarmente elevato. Tali macchine hanno il vantaggio di garantire un'elevata efficienza a livello di chiarificazione e i massimi risultati a livello di estrazione dell'acqua, oltre a consentire la separazione dei liq...
Separatore centrifugo
I separatori di GEA sono progettati per applicazioni a base liquida. Utilizzano la forza centrifuga per separare sospensioni composte da due o più fasi di densità diverse; possono cioè essere utilizzati per la separazione liquido-liquido, la separazione liquido-liquido-solido o la separazione liquido-solido. Separano miscele liquide con la stessa...

Approfondimenti GEA
Dal secchio di mungitura al robot: i 100 Years of Farm Innovation di GEA
Da oltre 100 anni, GEA sviluppa tecnologie per l'allevamento bovino da latte: dalle prime mungitrici a secchio ai sistemi autonomi e digitalmente interconnessi. Queste innovazioni hanno trasformato radicalmente la gestione degli allevamenti, passando da attività che richiedevano molta manodopera a modelli produttivi orientati a una maggiore efficienza operativa, al benessere animale e all'ottimizzazione dei processi aziendali.
