SOURCE.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
Take1 kg of waste plastics of some kind [ldpe,hdpe] cut it into piece and dry
it .
The waste plastic is put inside the reactor after drying it.
The reactor must designed to withstand high temperature of about 3500c-
400oc.
It has an inlet at the top for collecting the vapour.
Start the burner for heating the reactor and measure the temperature .
When the temperature reaches 150oc the vapour start to come down to the
Condenser.
The heating is continued for about 11/2 hours till the vapour
stop collecting.
After 1 or 11/2 hrs the plastics are decomposed.
At the time larger carbon molecules are break into smaller
molecules.
There is no need of using catalyst for the process.
The top of the reactor inlet is connected with the spiral
condenser where the
vapours are condensed.
Finally the fuel from condensed vapours are collected .
Approximately 700ml of thermo fuel will be collected from per
kg of waste plastics.
Thermocouple is used to measure high temperature .
