Land fillLand fill

It takes 1000 to 1 million years for polyethylene bags and waste to break down

• As polyethylene breaks down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain, thus Become 100% Non-Green area

• Keep occupying land Plastic bag choke landfills

• On the other hand, Land is a limited resource

• Naturally landfill becomes a costlier proposition.

IncinerationIncineration

1 Kg of polyethylene produces 3.20 kg of Carbon dioxide

• It is one of the worst form air pollution

• Also boosts the global warming

• So it is not fair to considered as a right way of disposal

Waste plastic qualityWaste plastic quality

The installation can process:

PE, PP (polyolefin's)-both industrial & municipal waste

Other plastics –car bumpers & computer cases

Key highlight of the systemKey highlight of the systemThe system is designed to process the following types of plastic waste Polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE & HDPE), and Polypropylene

Up to 5% of other types of plastic tolerated

The reactor can tolerate contaminants such as

glass, paper, soil, metals, and moisture. A modular design allows for easy installation

and plant expansionCapacity of each module is typically 350 tons of waste plastic per month

Output of each module is approximately 720 liters per ton of waste plastic processed

Operating characteristics (1)

Plastic wastes after preliminary segregation, if necessary, (paper, glass, metal elements), are manually loaded with catalyst into press machine

• 3-5 kg of feed can by loaded at one time, 300 kg/hour, 180 ton/month

• Pressed wastes are transported directly to the reactor• There is constant high temperature in the reactor• Plastic wastes are depolymerized• Each reactor has its own heat supply – burner for gas, oil,

biomass• There is molten metal inside the reactor which keeps high

temperature• Catalyst speeds up depolymerization process

Operating characteristics (2)

As a result of depolimerization process gaseous hydrocarbons go to cooling system

• The part of gaseous hydrocarbons (C1-C4) goes back to the heating system

• Hydrocarbons from C5 and higher in liquid state form final product

• Final product – mixture of hydrocarbons – is pumped to the tank (volume 45-60 m3)

• Installation works constantly – 24 hours

• Installation has self cleaning system

• Final solid waste in the form of bitumen equivalent

Final productFinal product

Final product is a mixture of: 20% gasoline range product 50% diesel range product 30% heavy fractions The mixture is sold to the refinery for processing

90C – 190C gasoline fraction 190C – 330C diesel fraction more than 330C – paraffin

ConclusionConclusion

• Polymer Energy technology can be effectively utilized to convert input plastic wastes from the industry to value added fuel.

• It is a commercially viable alternative to incineration, landfill disposal and recycling.

•The system does not produce large amounts of secondary waste, emissions or poisonous byproducts such as sulphur compounds, phosphorus, arsenic or heavy metals.
