This study aimed to determine the effect of the supplied pyrolysis oils (oils obtained from the pyrolysis of used tyres and the depolymerisation of plastics) on the activity of the hydrodesulphurisation catalyst. Each pyrolysis oil was added at 20% weight to a standard feedstock and processed on pilot plant reactors under the set conditions of a commercial unit, including an activated catalyst. Following the catalyst stabilisation, the standard material was changed to the mixture with the pyrolysis oils. The reaction conditions, particularly the reaction temperature, were controlled. The results of the product analyses were compared with the EN 590 standard for evaluating diesel fuel; the hydrogenated mixed fuel meets most requirements. Only the density, flash point, distillation curve and lubricity have minor deviations, which could be adjusted by treating the sample before or after hydrogenation. The properties of the products, in terms of the low-temperature properties, were also investigated. The tyre-derived pyrolysis oils showed improved low-temperature properties, possibly due to the higher levels of the aromatic hydrocarbons. The pyrolysis oil obtained from the depolymerisation of the plastics was found to be more suitable for use in refineries without substantially impacting the existing technologies. For the tyre-derived pyrolysis oils, higher reaction temperatures were required for processing, which could affect the catalyst operation.
