Plastic pyrolysis conversion technology is one of the key pathways for resource recycling. However, its product—pyrolysis oil—contains a large number of fine carbon particles, which must undergo efficient filtration to meet the clarity standards of commercial fuels. For large-scale production operators, the filtration system is not only a quality checkpoint but also a cost center.

The customer plans to construct or upgrade a refining line with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, facing the classic "quality-cost" trade-off in filtration solutions:
⚡️Contradiction between precision and flux:
A filtration precision of ≤1 micron is a clear target, but high-precision filter elements are prone to clogging under high flow rates, leading to soaring pressure differentials, frequent replacements, and skyrocketing operating costs.
⚡️Balance between initial investment and long-term expenditure:
Should we invest in a "high-guarantee" system with higher precision and redundant backups, or choose a "cost-effective" system that meets basic requirements and is more economical?
⚡️Process adaptability:
All materials must withstand the complex chemical components in pyrolysis oil to ensure long-term operational stability.
>>>High Quality: The clarity of the final product must comply with specifications.
>>>Cntrollable Costs : Seek the optimal total cost of ownership (investment + operation).
>>>Reliable Operation: The system design should match the continuous production rhythm with simple maintenance
Instead of offering a single answer, we have designed two proven technical paths, putting the choice back in the customer's hands.
✅Goal:
Efficiently intercept most particles to provide solid protection for the core precision filtration unit, which is the key to reducing the overall system cost.
✅Unified Solution:
8-cartridge bag filter equipped with 1μm PET filter bags.
✅Core Value:
Bear a large amount of filtration load at an extremely low single cost, significantly extend the service life of downstream precision filter elements, and directly reduce the cost per ton of treatment.
Option A (High-Precision/High-Guarantee Solution)
✅Design Philosophy: Pursue extreme filtration effects and operational continuity, suitable for scenarios with strict product quality requirements and high costs of production interruption.
✅Configuration:
>>>Main Filtration Unit:
37-cartridge liquid filter housing with PBT pleated filter element filter with 1μm precision for deep precision filtration.
>>>Full System Backup:
Configure a complete set of backup filter elements for the core unit to enable non-stop switching.
✅Advantages:
>>>Precision Redundancy: Two-stage PBT filter elements ensure foolproof filtration.
>>>Worry-Free Operation: The backup system maximizes production continuity.
>>>Reliable Material: Full PBT structure resists chemical corrosion with long-lasting performance.
Option B (Cost-Effective/Compact Solution)
✅Design Philosophy: On the premise of ensuring basic filtration precision, greatly optimize the initial investment and system complexity.
✅Core Filtration Unit: High-flow filter housing with PBT high flow filter cartridge. By optimizing the filter material and design, it provides higher flux and longer service life within a reasonable precision range.
✅Advantages:
>>>Significantly Optimized Cost: Fewer filter elements and housings directly reduce investment.
>>>Compact System: Small footprint with simpler installation and maintenance.
>>>Efficient Operation: High-flow design helps reduce system pressure differential and energy consumption.
✅ Clear Decision-Making: The clear comparison between Scheme A and Scheme B (precision vs. cost, complexity vs. simplicity) greatly simplifies the customer's internal decision-making process.
✅ Controllable Risks: Whether choosing the high-guarantee or cost-effective path, customers gain advance quantitative understanding of future operating costs, maintenance frequency, and production capacity risks.
✅ Supply Chain Optimization: Locking in a single supplier that can provide multiple technical solutions for the same demand reduces management complexity and long-term dependency risks.
✅ Technical Roadmap: The solution itself is scalable, allowing customers to flexibly adjust or upgrade between Path A and Path B according to business development in the future.
IV. FAQ
A: Highly recommended. PBT material offers excellent oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Pyrolysis oil has complex components, and using PBT filter elements can completely avoid the risks of filter element swelling, dissolution, or reduced structural strength. This is the key to ensuring long-lasting filtration precision and stable long-term system operation, which is often more economical from a total lifecycle perspective.
Product Value and Standards: Is your fuel product targeted at a market extremely sensitive to price, or a high-end market with higher quality premiums?
Cost of Production Interruption: How much loss will your business suffer from unplanned production downtime caused by filter system failures or filter element replacements?If the answers lean toward high quality and high downtime costs, Scheme A is more suitable. If you are extremely cost-sensitive and can accept a certain maintenance window, Scheme B is the preferred choice.

LOONG Filtration is a specialist in energy filtration, particularly in the treatment of gasoline, diesel, and pyrolysis oil. We are a partner capable of providing multiple technical options and clearly analyzing their pros and cons. Our capabilities are supported by:
•Custom Design Capability: We not only offer standard products but also provide precise customized design and simulation calculations for customers between "Scheme A" and "Scheme B" based on flow rate and precision requirements.
•Mastery of Key Materials: We recognize the irreplaceability of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) in fuel filtration—its excellent oil resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength are the cornerstones of long-term stable operation of the solution.
•Full-Process Product Line: From bag filters and standard filter elements to high-flow filter elements, we independently manufacture the entire product line to ensure system compatibility and eliminate supply chain risks.
•Data-Driven Recommendations: We can provide estimated pressure differential curves, consumable replacement cycles, and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis under different schemes to help customers make data-driven decisions.
