Plastic Pyrolysis

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 www.cynarplc.com/
20 tonnes per day per module.

 Washington, DC: www.envion.com
Boosts easy installation, high efficiency, no second-time pollution.
Plant converts 6,000 tons of plastic into nearly a million barrels yearly.

 Circle Pines, MN and International:  polymerenergy.com
They have a modular unit that produces 775 liters of fuel for every ton of plastic waste processed. System capacity is rated at 185 tons per month.

 New York/Canada: JBI, Inc. www.plastic2oil.com20-ton processor, 4,000 lbs. of plastic feedstock per machine per hour.

Process involved in plastic pyrolysis

Image
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
