The FACTOR 1-LRP is an advanced, modular industrial plant engineered for the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon waste, offering a sustainable and efficient solution for processing complex, contaminated, and hard-to-treat materials—including those with high organic content and moisture levels of up to 20%. Combining cutting-edge pyrolysis technology with energy-efficient design, this system ensures total waste utilization while adhering to stringent environmental safety standards.
Designed as an enhanced iteration of the FACTOR 1-L, the LRP model specializes in producing high-quality pyrolysis oil through catalytic rupture under high-temperature, low-oxygen conditions. This process efficiently breaks down heavy hydrocarbon molecules, transforming challenging waste streams—such as rubber (tires, industrial rubber waste), plastics (PET 1-7), and construction bitumen—into valuable end products.
A standout feature of the FACTOR 1-LRP is its versatility in handling mixed and waterlogged waste, making it an ideal solution for addressing marine and riverine plastic pollution. The system is equipped with a diesel-powered ignition system and integrates closed-loop gas combustion, ensuring operational safety and minimizing environmental impact by converting pyrolysis gases into usable energy.
Developed by Infinite 8 Cycle LTD, the FACTOR 1-LRP sets a new benchmark in pyrolysis technology, delivering reliable performance, maximum resource recovery, and compliance with circular economy principles—making it the preferred choice for petrochemical plants, waste processors, municipal authorities, and environmental remediation projects.
