How to convert plastic waste into fuel?

One of the great crises facing the global environment is the proliferation of plastic waste. Since the large-scale production of plastics in 60 years, 6.3 billion metric tons of plastic waste have been produced, and 90.5% of them are not recycled. They are found in all corners of the world. If we do not change our lifestyle, there will be approximately 12 billion metric tons of plastic waste by 2050. With the deepening of scientific research, the best solution is to convert plastic waste into fuel oil.

The way to convert plastic waste into fuel is pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a chemical process that turns high molecular compounds into low molecular compounds under high temperature and oxygen-free environment. Through high temperature pyrolysis, condensation into oil, exhaust gas purification and other steps to turn plastic waste into treasure.

Waste plastic pyrolysis plant

The workflow of waste plastic pyrolysis plant specific steps are as follows:

Firstly, use a plastic crusher to crush waste plastic and feed the waste plastic into the reactor through the auto-feeder.

Secondly, heat the waste plastic in the reactor for about 4-5 hours, it will produce oil and gas.

Next, the oil and gas pass through the condensing system and will be condensed into oil.

Then, the non-condensable oil and gas in the condensing system is purified by tail gas cleaning and odor removal system and used as fuel to heat thereactor.

Finally,the residual material in the reactor needs to be discharged to carry out a new oil production process. This residual material is mainly carbon black.
