Plastic Pyrolysis Waste Plastic to Oil Conversion
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Plastics have become an indispensable part in today’s world. Due to their light weight, durability, energy efficiency, coupled with faster rate of production and design flexibility, these plastics are employed in entire gamut of industrial and domestic areas. Plastics are produced from petroleum derivates and are composed primarily of hydrocarbons but also contain additives such as antioxidants, colorants and other stabilizers. Disposal of the waste plastics poses a great hazard to the environment and effective method has not been implemented. Plastics are non-biodegradable polymers mostly containing carbon, hydrogen, and few other elements like nitrogen. Pyrolysis is the chemical decomposition of organic substances by heating the word is originally coined from the Greek-derived elements pyro "fire" and lysys "decomposition". Pyrolysis technology is thermal degradation process in the absence of oxygen. Plastic waste is treated in a cylindrical reactor at temperature of 300ºC – 350ºC.
Increasing industrialization and motorization has lead to a significant rise in demand of petroleum products. As these are the nonrenewable resources it is difficult to predict availability of these resources in future, resulting uncertainty in its supply and price and is impacting growing economies like India. Many alternate fuels like Alcohols, Biodiesel, LPG, CNG etc have been already commercialized in the transport sector. In this context, pyrolysis of solid waste is currently receiving renewed interest. Plastic to oil (fuel) conversion technology has gained prominence primarily due to two factors: forming a reliable source of alternative energy from an abundant feedstock having negligible economic value and an eco-friendly disposal of non-recycled plastics. As a whole there is a good scope for new entrepreneur to invest in this business.
