10 TPD Tire Pyrolysis & Distillation Plant

Feedstock: Whole end-of-life truck and passenger tires (shredded)
Capacity: 10 tonnes/day
Products: Distilled diesel fraction, light naphtha, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire

Integrated on-site PUREMAX fractional distillation unit producing diesel-specification fuel directly, eliminating third-party oil processing. Achieved 45% oil yield with desulfurized diesel fraction meeting IS 1460 specifications.

Biomass Netherlands

20 TPD Biomass-to-Biochar Plant for CDR

Feedstock: Forestry residues (wood chips, bark) and clean wood waste
Capacity: 20 tonnes/day
Products: Puro.earth-certified biochar, bio-oil, syngas (self-use for process heat)

Achieved Puro.earth carbon removal certification and ISCC Plus sustainability certification. Biochar with >80% fixed carbon sold into European voluntary carbon markets, with syngas providing energy self-sufficiency.

Plastic Southeast Asia

5 TPD Plastic-to-Oil Pyrolysis Plant

Feedstock: Post-consumer mixed polyolefins (HDPE, LDPE, PP) and polystyrene
Capacity: 5 tonnes/day
Products: Pyrolysis oil (naphtha-range) for petrochemical feedstock

PYROMAX reactor achieved 75-80% oil yield on polyolefin-rich feedstock, with consistent quality suitable for steam cracker feedstock. Product oil sold to regional petrochemical offtaker under long-term supply agreement.

Tire Middle East

30 TPD Continuous Tire Pyrolysis Facility

Feedstock: Legacy stockpiled tire waste (passenger and truck tires)
Capacity: 30 tonnes/day (continuous operation)
Products: Pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire

Engineered for extreme ambient temperatures (50 degrees C+) with enhanced cooling systems and heat-rated instrumentation. Fully automated with SCADA-based remote monitoring, processing a government-contracted legacy tire stockpile.

Biomass India

15 TPD Biomass Pyrolysis for Steel Industry

Feedstock: Coconut shell and palm kernel shell (low-ash biomass)
Capacity: 15 tonnes/day
Products: Industrial-grade biochar (>85% fixed carbon), bio-oil

Biochar produced to specification as pulverized coal injection (PCI) replacement for steel blast furnaces. Fixed carbon consistently above 85% with ash below 5%, qualifying as a coal-to-biochar decarbonization pathway for heavy industry.

Plastic Europe

8 TPD Plastic Pyrolysis with ISCC Plus Certification

Feedstock: Post-industrial plastic waste, LDPE/PP packaging film
Capacity: 8 tonnes/day
Products: ISCC Plus-certified pyrolysis oil (naphtha fraction)

One of APChemi's 3+ ISCC Plus-certified plants. Full mass-balance chain-of-custody documentation enabled certified oil to be sold as chemical recycling feedstock to a major European petrochemical company at premium pricing.

Mixed Waste East Africa

25 TPD Mixed Waste Pyrolysis Plant

Feedstock: Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid waste
Capacity: 25 tonnes/day
Products: Pyrolysis oil, char for construction materials, recovered metals

Engineered for highly variable feedstock composition typical of developing-market municipal waste. Integrated pre-processing line with shredding, ferrous/non-ferrous metals separation, and rotary drying to condition heterogeneous RDF to within reactor specifications.

Oil Processing India

Pyrolysis Oil Purification & Distillation Facility

Feedstock: Crude tire and plastic pyrolysis oil
Capacity: 15,000 litres/day (5M+ litres/year)
Products: Light naphtha, desulfurized diesel fraction, heavy fuel oil, PUROIL-grade purified oil

APChemi's own PUREMAX fractional distillation facility, commissioned in 2019, processes crude pyrolysis oil into specification-grade fuel products. Serves dual purpose as a commercial production unit and R&D platform for oil upgrading research across tire, plastic, and biomass-derived oils.

Biomass South Asia

Biomass Gasification Pilot Plant

Feedstock: Rice husk and agricultural straw residues
Capacity: 3 tonnes/day (pilot scale)
Products: Producer gas for thermal application, biochar (35-40% yield from rice husk)

Pilot-scale gasification plant tested at APChemi's R&D facility demonstrating dual-product approach: clean syngas for industrial heating and high-value rice husk biochar with 35-40% yield for soil amendment and carbon credit applications.
