Waste plastic pyrolysis

Research in development of alternate energy sources is very relevant in present decade. Many alternative-fuel technologies are investigated in recent years to deliver the replacement of fossil fuel. Many technologies such as bio-ethanol, bio-diesel lipid derived bio-fuel, waste oil recycling, pyrolysis, gasification, dimethyl ether, biogas etc. have already been investigated by many researchers. At the same time, appropriate waste management strategy is also needed for sustainable development of society. Through this study we are looking at the process options for the conversion of plastic into oil products. During Pyrolysis thermal cracking occurs when the organic matter is subjected to high temperature of about 300°C to 500°C. This results in the end products in the form of liquid, char and gas. A specially designed mould (Pyrolyzer) is designed as the part of this study for extracting fuel from plastic. The waste plastic is heated in the pyrolyzerat temperature of about 300°C to 500°C. The gas which evolves after heating is condensed to obtain the raw fuel. The obtained oil is flammable. This technology is environmental friendly and has very good impact on the local community.
