Advantages Of Pyrolysis Plastic to Fuel Conversion Process

It is estimated that close to 300 million tons of plastic is generated each year on a global basis. However, the demand for plastic in developing countries is bound to rise as the economy start developing and consumption grows. That’s why waste plastic to fuel is getting popular. One of the biggest problems with plastic is that it is not biodegradable and therefore, it has become a huge waste problem. Around 20 to 40% of the plastic produced worldwide is disposed of in landfills. A lot of plastic waste is simply disposed off in the oceans where it is responsible for killing around a million organisms each year.

Plastic not only blights communities but also takes up a lot of valuable space. A lot of research studies have also concluded that it is not possible to live sustainably with current rate of production of plastic. This is the reason that organizations all over the world have been looking for a sustainable way to get rid of this huge plastic waste.

This is one of the reasons of the growing popularity of pyrolysis machine where waste plastic material can be converted in to useful fuel such as pyrolysis oil and pyrolysis gas along with carbon black. Waste plastic to fuel oil conversion process is extremely simple. In this process, waste plastic is heated at an extremely high temperature in oxygen less environment.

Due to lack of oxygen, waste plastic does not burn but undergoes chemical change in to useful products that include hydrocarbon gas and pyrolysis oil. The pyrolysis oil from plastics can be used as a fuel and it can be further refined into various types of oils. They hydrocarbon gas produced during the process can be used for generation of electricity or for burning furnaces or for heating the reactor where the raw material is being heated.

There are a lot of companies manufacturing pyrolysis plants. These plants do not cost much and offer excellent return on investment. The plants are also easy to operate and most of the plants can be run with the help of just two workers during the shift. Various types of raw material can be used including waste plastic, electronic scrap, plastic from vehicles and other such sources.

100 kg of waste makes plastic scrap can produce around 70 to 90 L of pyrolysis oil, 5 to 10 kg of hydrocarbon gas along with 5 to 7 kg of carbon black. A high-quality waste plastic pyrolysis machine is capable of returning the initial investment within a period of just 15 months. The new machines available today have also shortened the time period of the process as compared to the older machines thus making the process more efficient. The latest generation pyrolysis oil plant do not cause any environmental pollution and work in a highly cost-effective manner.
