Energy From Vast Biomass 19, Plastic to Oil: Pyrolysis
• -->> cont; •3 MAINLY NONWOOD WASTE:
3b Plastic to Oil:
• But substantial benefit to the plastic to fuel converting operation or community
that owns it, generally unreported in west but active operation world wide, more
in oil shortage China and India etc, than in west.
• Large Western mainstream corporations so far infrequently involved and even
when do, they often avoid direct involvement & work through subsidiaries or as
joint venture.
• i -Pyrolysis: Oxygen deprived heating causes generation of liquid fuel, gas, and
char. Most system can only take selective plastic(usually no PET & PVC), some
can recover fuel with all types of plastic but most of cases oil quality suffers
beyond 3-5% range PET/PVC and emit toxic fume, corrode or clog process line.
Many system can only produce "crude oil", and need further processing to use as
gasoline or diesel replacement. Some system has adjustment to change recovery
ratio of oil vs char: when focused to generate fuel, tires are generally weightwise
30-40% recovery to fuel, plastics are 60-90% level.
• It can be adjusted to have lower fuel produced with higher char/carbon
recovery(agriculture etc use). All infeed material needs to be shredded.
