Waste Plastic to Fuel Through Pyrolysis Process
Daxit Akbari
Waste is Resource at Wrong Place
• There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris is in the ocean.
• 1,00,000 marine creatures a year die from plastic entanglement.
• Approximately 1 million sea birds also die from plastic.
• A plastic bag can kill numerous animals because they take so long to disintegrate. An animal that dies from the bag will decompose and the bag will be released, another animal could harmlessly fall victim and once again eat the same bag.
• 150 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide per year.
• India consumed 12.5 million tonnes plastic products every year.
• 70% of total plastic consumption is discarded as waste, thus approximately 8.5 million tons per annum of plastic waste is generated in country, which is about 15342 tons per day.

Working Model of Plastoleum Team
Pyrolysis Process Experiment1. Feed stock : Type - polypropylene plastic Source - waste butter-milk glasses and food containers Weight – 1.7 Kg2. Reaction Parameters : Temperature - 340 °C Pressure - Atmospheric pre. Reaction Time - 4 hrs3. Products : Liquid Fuel= 1400 grams/ 1.8 liters Residue= 200 grams Non-condensed Gas= 100 grams
Products Uses
• Liquid Fuel : Substitute to furnace oil, coal and wood in industrial burner installed in steam boilers, thermic fluid heaters, hot air generators, melting furnaces, heating furnaces etc.
• Non- Condensed Gas : Re-circulated to reactor and used as heating source
• Residue : Used in making Activated Carbon
