Nice color. Excellent.
Take careful note, does the sample darken with age? Does it leave a tide mark in the bottle? No doubt you'll have read previous forum posts of this phenomena.

P.S.: the marks on the bottle would be waxes?

Did you filter the liquid?
How much liquid did you get from how much feedstock?
Are you using just one condensing Pot, or 2 or 3?

Correct refining techniques and antioxidants prolong the life of modern gasoline but even so will still oxidize given enough time.

Originally posted by alejandroramallo View PostHi, Wheels. No, it is not necessary to filter the liquid. Performance I get until now, depends on the type of plastic and other aggregates (pigments, etc) that contains. Varies between 35% and 73% in weight of liquid. In volume, I get more or less 1 litre for every kilogram of plastic, such as maximum. Only use 1 condenser.

I don't have a lab, it's a home experiment. Only I have small knowledge in chemistry. I think that, as the majority in this forum, we replace the elements that we lack, with ingenuity, and a lot of effort.

Hola Alejandro. LLevo tiempo con este tema pero voy despacio e intentando aprender de todos y todo, actualmente compré un molino triturador de 10 HP y estoy haciendo acopio de plástico en buen estado y tengo dos toneladas de plastico triturado y envasado. En espera de comenzar con algún otro proceso más afinado como es el suyo. u7n saludo. podría añadir fotos?Last edited by ladanivaca; 04-17-2015, 09:27 AM.
