Making Petroleum From Waste Plastic

Stage 1: At first, instead of feeding plastic waste directly into the reactor, feed reactor with smaller pieces of plastic. Making the waste into small pieces makes it more efficient in terms of time and energy. As plastic by volume, occupies large space in raw form lot of energy gets wasted at the melting point of plastic in the reactor if it's fed as raw. Stage 2: In this stage , make sure the reactor is sealed well and heat the reactor upto 300deg. At this point plastic starts to melt and boils and converts to vapor. Stage 3: This stage is meant for distillation of the vapors. At first , the high density  molecules of carbon gets condensed fast and at around 200deg diesel formation takes place.to maximize the collection of diesel depends upon the type of plastic used and cooling process adapted.  the first formed liquid is dark and have high carbon content.this can be again boiled to get diesel.this process, beside diesel, also gives hydro-carbon gas as a by-pr

Like the extraction of oil from waste plastic (you can find that article at here ) , used tires can also used for extracting industrial oil . In the case of plastic, we get 60- 80% of industrial oil and 40-20% of fuel gas whereas in case of tires, we get 40-45% of industrial oil,30-35% of steel,20-10% of carbon black and fuel gas. But when compared to tyre pyrolysis, its more beneficial for plastic as it is readily available waste than tires. Comming to machinery, we have two types of pyrolysis plants. 1. Horizontal Plant you can get more info about this at  here . 2. Vertical Plant You can get more info at  here . You can get a brief differences between these two in below pdf

Why ? There is a growing concern about the usage of plastic in daily life.The major problem is segregating that waste plastic. Hence there is an idea of making industrial oil from waste plastic. What? The idea is breaking the long chain of polyethylene into its basic component - ethylene. It's  done by a method called pyrolysis. How? When the plastic is heated at high temperature in absence of air, it vaporizes. When it is condensed, it forms a thick brownish-gold color liquid which is flammable. When this liquid is further distilled, it breaks into petrol,diesel and kerosene.Industrial gas is also obtained as by-product.The method of pyrolysis can also be applied to waste tires, which on pyrolysis, gives industrial oil, steel , carbon black and industrial gas. We need someone to go to each company and see which technology is the most efficient and least polluting... Companies: UK: Cynar produces a synthetic fuel suitable for all internal combustion engines
