  • Plastic Waste Processing Programme

    District

    The organisation engages in a critical process that addresses the need for plastic waste management. It employs Thermo Catalytic Depolymerization (TCD) to convert waste plastic into usable fuel and synthetic gas. The process involves cleaning and shredding the plastic, then subjecting it to TCD within a heated sealed reactor, breaking down the polymer chains to produce hydrocarbon vapours. The resulting synthetic oil, gas, and carbon are pollution-free end products. This efficient process offers various advantages, as it doesn't require pre-sorting, cleaning, or drying of plastic waste, thereby reducing operational costs. For every ton of plastic, it generates poly fuel, synthetic gas, moisture, and residual char, contributing to cleaner energy sources and minimizing waste.
