Waste Plastic To Energy “WPTE” Using Pyrolysis Technology

Abstract

The project address is to resolve the one of dangerous pollutants on the environment, which are the waste plastic like waste ABS plastic and waste oil(used engine oil).This project primarily depend on two phases, which are design and build a pyrolysis system in order to convert waste plastic into useful energy, where the pyrolysis process is done in several stages: The first stage , is heating pyrolysis furnace into a temperature ranging between ( 400-600 ) ° C by burning “used motor oil” by oil burner ,which designed to work on the waste oil(used engine oil). In the second stage the plastic will be heated, which is located in a special tank called “plastic boiling tank”, which located inside the furnace, these temperatures melt the plastic, and turns it to a liquid state with a high viscosity .Then, begins turns into flammable gas, this gas passes directly through gas condenser , in order to condense this gas into a liquid. The sample that had been taken in this project is an ABS plastic and the resulting from it is a : liquid fuel, and also output flammable gas can be used as a source of energy to run generator, for example.
