DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRID RENEWABLE ENERGY–POWERED LABORATORY–SCALE PLASTIC BOTTLE WASTE CONVERTER
2023
Overview
This paper is about the development of a hybrid renewable energy-powered Laboratory-Scale plastic bottle waste converter for the conversion (pyrolysis) of plastic (PET) bottle wastes Into useful petroleum products such as Diesel, kerosene, gasoline, etc. Waste plastic disposal and Indiscriminate use of fossil fuels have caused environmental and health concerns in our societies. This is not unconnected with the ever-increasing consumption of products packaged in plastics by the teeming population the world over. Plastics are non-biodegradable products that pollute our environments, clog our canals and drainages, and eventually end up in the seas where they pollute and affect marine ecological systems. The process of converting waste plastic bottles Into useful petroleum products is one of the viable solutions for the recycling of plastic bottle waste and turning the problems of plastic bottle careless disposals Into an opportunity to make wealth from waste and also save the ecosystem. Heat is provided externally to the heating chamberthat runs at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen by a DC heating element. The waste plastic bottles are shredded to reduce their volume-to-weight ratio and filled into the heating chamber where it is subjected to excessive heat to depolymerize, pyrolyze, and thermal cracking. The resulting gases are passed through a condenserto obtain different products such as petrol, kerosene, diesel, etc depending on the operating temperature of the chamber. The fuel obtained is useful in firing boilers and furnaces directly without any analysis or purification. It can be scaled up for commercial applications.
