WASTE PLASTIC PYROLYSIS


A NEW CONCEPT
IN
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY WASTE MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
• A marvel of polymer chemistry, plastics has become an indispensable part of our daily life.
Although plastics are a newer discovery, they have become a part of everyday consumer life and
its production and consumption have increased drastically. Plastic have molded the modern world
and transformed the quality of life. There is no human activity where plastics do not play a key
role from clothing to shelter, from transportation to communication and from entertainment to
health care. Plastics have become an indispensable part in today’s world. Due to their light-
weight, durability, energy efficiency, coupled with a faster rate of production and design flexibility,
these plastics are employed in entire gamut of industrial and domestic areas..
• Plastics are non-biodegradable polymers mostly containing carbon, hydrogen, and few other
elements such as chlorine, nitrogen etc. Due to its non-biodegradable nature, the plastic waste
contributes significantly to the problem of Municipal Waste Management.

• Bureau of Indian Standards Guidelines for Waste Plastic Recycling - IS 14534:1998.


Bureau of Indian Standards has issued guidelines for waste plastic recycling in 1998.
As per directive of Bureau of Indian Standards in the article 5.1.3 it lists plastic pyrolysis as – Tertiary
Recycling involves production of basic chemicals and fuels from plastic waste/scrap as part of municipal
waste stream or as segregated waste. Pyrolysis and Hydrolysis are examples of these processes.

COMPOSITION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
SOURCES OF WASTE PLASTIC

• Municipal solid waste (MSW) & Industrial Waste contains waste plastic and the source of waste plastics are :
1. Domestic waste - food container, packaging foam, disposable cups, plates, cutlery, CD, cassette boxes,
fridge liners, vending cups, electronic equipment cases, drainage pipes, carbonated drink bottles,
plumbing pipes, cushioning foams, insulation foams, surface coating, etc.
2. Municipal waste – Mulch film, feed bags, fertilizer bags, temporary tarpaulin like covering sheets.
3. Wires & cables.
4. Plastic Waste from automobile garages.
Thus municipal solid waste (MSW) containing plastic waste is mixed one with major components of
polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, etc.
• Industrial Plastic Waste so called primary waste are those arising from large plastic manufacturing,
processing and packaging industries.
• Construction & demolition companies typically like pipes, fittings, tiles, sheets & similar goods
manufacturing.
• Electrical & electronic industries. Typically switch boxes, cables pieces, insulation coverings, etc.
• Automotive spare parts manufacturing industries. Typically upholstery, plastic machine parts, battery
containers, front grills, etc.
INTRODUCTION TO PYROLYSIS

• The word ‘PYROLYSIS’ is coined from the Greek‐derived elements pyro "fire" and
lysis "separating".
• Thermal cracking, or pyrolysis, involves the degradation of the polymeric
materials by heating in the absence of oxygen. The process is usually conducted
at temperatures between 450- 600 ºC and results in the formation of a
carbonised char and a volatile fraction that may be separated into condensable
hydrocarbon oil and a non-condensable high calorific value gas. The proportion of
each fraction and their precise composition depends primarily on the nature of
the plastic waste but also on process conditions.
• In pyrolytic processes, a proportion of the species generated directly from the
initial degradation reaction are transformed into secondary products due to the
occurrence of inter and intramolecular reactions. The extent and the nature of
these reactions depend both on the reaction temperature and also on the
residence of the products in the reaction zone, an aspect that is primarily
affected by the reactor design.
PYROLYSIS OF WASTE PLASTIC ASSISTED BY CATALYTIC CRACKING

• We OORJA SYSTEMS & CONSULTANTS provide a indigenously formulated and improved techno-
commercial solution of catalytic cracking of waste plastic.
• We provide pyrolysis plants in the range of 1 TPD, 2 TPD and 5 TPD processing capacity per day.
• The pyrolysis process is batch type conversion.
• Duration of batch process – 8 to 10 Hours.
• The typical yield of waste plastic catalytic pyrolysis are:
A. Pyrolysis oil : 50 % – 75%
B. Hydrocarbon gas: 20 % – 30%
C. Carbon Black : 5 % – 20%
• The unique features of the plant are except for start-up process the non condensable
hydrocarbon gas which is by-product of the pyrolysis process is used as captive fuel to complete
entire pyrolysis process. Either LDO or in-house generated pyrolysis oil is used for start-up
process.
