How to turn plastic waste into diesel fuel cheaply

[Jordan14]

Picture of the gasoline, it's still left to reassemble machine, but before i continue with test i must build machine for plastic shredding.

This is excellent work. Can you show us the sort of raw plastic you are using, what it looks like when it has gone through its heat treatment. When you have distilled out your lighter frsactions, what are you left with?

Can you show us the sort of raw plastic you are using

I used PP and HDPE plastic only, till next test i must build plastic shredding machine as without that I can not put a lot of plastic in to a reactor.

what it looks like when it has gone through its heat treatment

Can you explain more this sentence, English is not my native language.
My process of production is done in one the cracking in the reactor and after that goes streight in to a reflex tower where reflux material reassemble carbon chains.

When you have distilled out your lighter frsactions, what are you left with

Today I was testing the gasoline it have 750wgr ( It was collected mostly on temperature 50 and 55 C) and car engine works fine, I was used Fiat engine that's work on 98 octane gasoline and it it full of strength, next week I will thrive on GM car brand as it is more common standard for engines.
Tomorrow I will post the pictures of the gasoline, it is wax free and after week it didn't show any oxidation or changes.

I think there is merit in putting the distillation stage on the back burner.

Focus on the vessel, the baking process and rendering the plastic down into a black liquid. There are any number of companies that can do the distilling for you, and there is the tricky matter of deciding what fractions youo want to distill out - i.e. what can you most easily sell.

I done first test, machine work, just as reflux tower it separate the wax, the condensers are huger then I predict it can cool a lot more of steam this bring that till I get it what is the problem i produce a lot of gasoline instead of diesel, soon I will put pictures of gasoline it have beautiful yellow color, in next days I will test on engine to see do I have good balance of carbon chains, I separate the light fraction and it can be fired on spark.

Greetings!

I'm finishing assembling of my mini oil refinery for guide idea I used publication WO2005087897A1 (Patent posted at the begging of this tread).
The dimension are next:
Reactor 1087 kg
Reflux tower 300kg ( useful waight170 kg of reflux material)
Two horizontal condenser, each can be filled with 450 liters of water



Between reactor and reflux tower is the cyclone, the beginning test temperature are
Reactor 430c
Reflux tower 380c
The condenser temperature at the and should be at 55-65 Celsius degree.
The reactor will work on plastic, also light fraction will be separated from the heavy fraction, the light fraction will be burned as fuel for heating the rector, after the first test I will show results.

Personal Protective Equipment

The world pandemic means that there is a staggering amount of used PPE washing around the sytem. Since the material is probably largely the same, it might be possible to design a rig to focus on this material. (So long as it is three days old before it is touched, it should no longer be infectious).

Hospitals may have trouble getting rid of it. They might be keen to arrange delivery.

(P.S. Why they don't wash the stuff in mild disinfectant is beyond me, but they refuse to do so)

Greetings!
Thanks for all members who share their experience and after the years of studying I finally start to build my refinery, tomorrow I will give more details, also thanks to mods that finally allowed me to write on this forum.

Hello everyone, I thank those who participated in this topic .......... for an idea that I missed Jitsi and my other comrades

Enzyme

Halo folks, If we can establish the enzyme added in below link, it could take master Jetji's project to a higher height. Anyone with info??

How to reach you for your commercial plant

[QUOTE=sunilkm153;282307]

Hello everyone,

I have been reading this thread for a while now (admittedly not all of it) and i see where a number of ppl have been having success in converting waste plastic into a fuel. I commend those who have been able to achieve their results thus far and applaud this community for the work that they have done in sharing the knowledge gained so far.

I do have some questions though i wish some of the more experienced members here can help me with.

1. Has anybody ever spoken to one of those plant managers or chemist that work for a commercial pyrolysis operation and without having them give away trade secrets provide insight as to the best way to do this on a smaller scale?
2. would members here be willing to join forces to come up with a standard that can guide those to come on how to do this without much trial and error?
3. Would members be willing to create a diary of sorts that can show the do's and dont's and what has and hasn't worked and why?

The reason i asked these questions is because I am interested in building a plant at a scale that can process about 1-2 tons of waste plastic per day. I know alot of you are manufacturing to support your own domestic needs but i am looking at a small scale commercial, and rather than going the cheap Chinese way (no offense to any member that may be Chinese) I would much rather make something that we could copy around the world for others to model.(/QUOTE)


Yes since last one and half years I was working with my own 2 ton/day plant and same concept is now successfully upgraded ( upgraded does not mean extension or addition of few parts to old plant but the old plant is kept in ware house and a totally new one is built ) to 5 ton/day continuous plant and for the same after successful trials commercial production is also started

Thanks for that interesting link. I wonder if it actually works.

Otherwise, this project is limited to people who are on or near the Equator, with all that free solar heat with mirrors etc

Tyres are a terrible stock to use for fuel. The resulting oil smells terrible and it is black as you likely already know. The Chinese use it for boiler heating fuel and that's about it. It is not good for Vehicle Engines. You also end up with a huge amount of waste after the process.

That waste ought to be useful as a tarmac like product for roadmaking.

Are there any updates on the basic idea of the thread - using waste plastic, anaerobically pyrolytically converted to a fuel oil?
