Mustang

Welcome! Yes indeed, read the thread from first post to present.Don't get put off by the mention of Dioxine, just keep reading.I believe, based on this post, you will find exactly what you are looking for, here.Both for you, and your Farmer friend! Jim

Polyester fabric

I work on a factory that make clothes. We get a lot of small pieces of fabric in 100% polyester.
Is it possible to use this??

Best regards

Is there anyone in Michigan that would like to team up and build one of these? I am interested and have the time and a shop.

Hello
About the dioxine, It seems to me it can't be true, it is known in the waste burning industry that dioxine occurs only when burning things having chlore inside, like PVC.

and in the waste burning industry, all things people throw comes in ! so many kind of materials, but they only care about chlore


hurkatm:
yes it can burn gases as well. I would produce & sell if really have buyers.

At this time, I have received the plans I purchased at HOME
His machine is a complete invention, not only a process !
I'm going to build one according to his plans, and I'll tell the reasults here.
but to my sight, it should works as he says.

Hello Jetijs and the rest!

Jetijs any ideea on how much of the 6kw is used in the mid of the process?

Is the insulation that you use enough, isn't the big red barrel hot on the outside?

I know you have tried tyres(on the old ''plant'') and HDPE, have you used anything alse?

edit: http://www.energeticforum.com/134341-post226.html are you filling the reactor with used motor oil in the time of the process?

By improving the design, looking for best materials and best temps, do you think is possible to get much more gasoline than diesel?

thx!!!

Guys found this may not be useful
Build It « Gasifier Experimenters KitMight not be what we are looking for but would go well using HEMP to replace plastic and run cars also
HEMP gasification (not sure if we can recycle diesel this way)
YouTube - ‪Pot Power- Turning Hemp into electricity‬‏

using wood (can replace with hemp) Wayne Keith runs a small cattle ranch in St. Clair County, Alabama. Wayne has developed gasification technology that enables Dodge pick-up trucks which are normally fueled with gasoline, to also be powered with wood. In 2008, he drove his wood-powered truck across the US and drove in a race with other renewable fueled vehicles. His truck was awarded second place. Wayne has traveled about 20,000 miles on wood in each of his two green trucks, for a total of 40,000 miles, and has not traveled anywhere on petroleum fuels for over two years. His currently drives his fifth wood powered truck.

I have been considering fabricating and using their cyclone filter (GEK Wiki / Cyclone) instead of the centrifuge filter. May be it will ensure a clean product instantly.

Cyclone filters are good at separating solids from gasses, constant flow is required and the size of the cyclone has to be matched to the flow. In other words they should be good at removing the carbon dust from the output of the reactor.

I was considering to build an electrofilter Like this :

But before that, I want to Know what is the way choosen in the raffinery industry ? Seems to me they trap the dust at the first condensation level in fractionnator tower ??

[mbrownn]

On the units I have seen they have a cyclone filter between the reactor and the fractionating vessels. there are feedback loops on the bottom of the cyclone and all the vessels back to the reactor, these feedback loops have valves to shut them down but I never was able to see them working and don't know what the operating procedure was.

I guess that the feedback on the cyclone was periodically opened to allow any condensate to return to the reactor, the other vessels may have had the valves open until operating temperature was reached and then closed.

In power stations the flu gas is filtered with ionizers to remove fly-ash (a product used in portland cement) Such a device may work on fuel reactors but any sparking may be a problem.

I could not get your link to work

[Jetijs]

Sparking wont be a problem in no oxygen environment. But I doubt the ionizer can remove those solids, I think cyclone is the way to go. Anyway, an ionizer could further crack the fuel, because the cracking can be achieved in many ways, heating it is just the simplest brootforce way. Might be a great idea to combine the thermal cracking with a plasma gas processor.

I think the cyclone is the way to go too because of its simplicity but electrostatic precipitators should not be dismissed, it is well established technology and very effective.

Electrostatic precipitator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A simple way to remove oxygen at the startup of the reactor would be to put a little water in the reactor, the water would boil off pushing out the air before the cracking began. Just a thought.

Dear Islander
Thanks for the update !
I have gone through the website found it interseting, but they have not given even a single details of their plan.
I hope it works !
Anyway it is good that you have their plan and you are working on it. Plz let us know if it works and produce what they claim.
I am also in the process to make one as suggested by our founder of thread Mr. Jetijs, will post the results.

HI all ,Thanks jetijs for your beautiful discovery.I have a doubt about whether the plastics that are to be pyrolysed, should they be completely dry or can it be allowed to be moist or wet. I`m planning to make my own equipment soon.Will add photos.
Thank you so much.
