Select configurations optimized for local industrial demands, biomass integration, and continuous operations.
Gitarama (historically recognized as the central urban hub of Muhanga District in Rwanda) is undergoing a major economic expansion. Driven by rapid infrastructural projects, commercial expansion, and regional trade, the volume of municipal solid waste (MSW), scrap tires, and industrial waste polymers has risen sharply. Traditional landfilling practices are becoming environmentally untenable, prompting local municipal and private enterprises to seek modern thermal decomposition solutions.
As a critical geographical link between Kigali and the western provinces, Gitarama requires sustainable fuel alternatives. The industrial demand for thermal energy in tea-processing factories, brick kilns, and asphalt operations in Eastern Africa makes recovered fuel oil (pyrolysis oil) a highly lucrative asset. Our Batch Model Pyrolysis Plant (featuring the robust drum-running design) offers an optimized entry point for local investors, requiring low initial capital expenditure while delivering exceptionally high recovery rates.
Engineering details of the rotary batch architecture optimized for high-yield waste cracking.
The drum running reactor utilizes a continuous 360-degree rotation design. This rotation ensures that raw materials (whole or shredded tires, municipal plastic wastes) are heated uniformly, preventing localized hotspot warping and significantly extending reactor life to over 6-8 years.
Operating under anaerobic (oxygen-free) atmospheric conditions, the feedstock undergoes molecular decomposition between 380°C and 450°C. Long-chain polymer molecules break down into gas phases without direct combustion, eliminating the formation of toxic dioxins.
The generated gas phase passes through high-efficiency tube condensers. Heavier oil components condense first into industrial-grade fuel oil, while non-condensable syngas is routed back to fuel the reactor furnace, reducing external energy requirements to near-zero.
Due to fluctuations in power grids within Muhanga District, our Batch Model is designed with dual-fuel startup capabilities (wood, coal, gas, or heavy oil). This flexibility ensures uninterrupted thermal cracking cycles independent of power grid stability.
Huayuan Tech was founded in 1968, starting as a pioneer in advanced boiler engineering and pressure vessel design. Over the last five decades, our focus has expanded to address global ecological issues by designing cutting-edge pyrolysis equipment.
Today, our manufacturing facilities cover 209,335 square meters, employing over 500 skilled professionals, with 34% dedicated strictly to R&D and precision engineering. We hold national Class-A boiler manufacturing licenses, ASME U-stamp certifications, and ISO9001, ISO14001, and OHSAS18001 qualifications.
Tracing our technological evolutions from boiler structures to continuous pyrolysis systems.
Initially, Huayuan Technology developed advanced boiler systems and thermodynamic structures in several core workshops, establishing early heat-exchange engineering expertise.
Restructured as Linyi County Boiler Manufacturing and Repair Factory, expanding into regional industrial steam supply systems.
Renamed Linyi Boiler Factory and merged with auto parts manufacturing plants to establish a highly automated casting and welding production line.
Obtained national A-level industrial boiler manufacturing licenses, ISO standard qualifications, and launched our first-generation batch model waste tire pyrolysis plant.
Successfully engineered the screw-running continuous pyrolysis configuration. Acquired American ASME certifications and began exporting systems globally.
Watch our advanced drum-running and continuous pyrolysis systems in action, showing the automatic discharge and gas condenser arrays.
Procuring pyrolysis reactors from premium Chinese manufacturers gives Gitarama operators major competitive advantages. By combining China's comprehensive industrial supply chain with Huayuan's heavy boiler manufacturing background, we supply high-specification equipment at a fraction of Western pricing.
ASME-Grade Materials: Unlike standard fabricators, we build our reactors using specialized boiler steel (Q345R / Q245R) and high-alloy heat-resistant stainless steel. This prevents reactor shell cracking even under continuous exposure to extreme heating cycles.
Turnkey Engineering Support: From layout design to customs coordination, we dispatch expert mechanical engineers directly to Gitarama/Muhanga for on-site installation, system calibration, and local worker safety training.
Our batch model drum-running plants are equipped with double safety valves, pressure transmitters, emergency release systems, and automatic non-return water seal tanks to prevent syngas flashbacks.
