Your input id welcome, what improvements would you suggest?

@@mutobangoma2099 do a well detailed drawing of how the system should flow. Do all the calculations for the pressures and temperatures expected at various stages. These are called critical points. Critical points will guide you on where to put the gauges to monitor those temperatures and pressures. Once you're able to identify critical points note down the parameters to be maintained to ensure safety and consistent end results. Good temperature monitoring will ensure consistent quantities and quality end product. Good pressure monitoring will reduce the risk of a blow out which can cause loss of life and limb.

Glad to listen to suggestions

You can use the corking gasket used for car engines

@@mutobangoma2099 Thanks

Thats the plan

Yeah, I did this and it saved me a lot of energy, plus its a good indicator that the system is done burning, when there is no more gas to burn.

Oh Cammon they made it with Spits and Stitches...!!! The Majority of the People throw Plastic in Water Even in western Countries...! At least they recycle.

How would you suggest that we make it better?

@@mutobangoma2099 You could heating the Boiler with concentrated Solar, it would drastically reduce need of Combustible. You could use a mechanical Press in order to Increase the Pressure at which Plastic is Heated and Filtering its Lighter Outputs with a Carbon Felt Right Outside a Mechanical Valve by Hand turning the Mechanism increasing Pressure while Melting... As in a Sort of Reverse Osmosis... So you could more easily Separate the Different Groups of Hydrocarbons and Leave in the boiler the most heavy Polymers.. Also, you could use the Used Oil you said in other videos you regroup from Local Farmers for making soap and utilising the Parts which are Too much Dirty for Soap Production, Boiling those with Methanol for 2 Hours while mixing in a Closed environment and You would have Biodiesel. With it you could "cut" the Crude Oil you produce now with Pyrolysis and Having a much Higher Yield. The Bioproducts of Mixing Methanol and Oil is Biodiesel and Glicerine... With the Job you have you can Separate those [Quite simple because they have different Densities and Viscosities] Using Glicerine for Soap and Biodiesel for Making a More Carbon Neutral Clean Biodiesel along the One you produce with Pyrolysis. You should check in with Robert Murray from UK, he is a Old Retired Material Chemist which used to working in the Battery Sector... He make Really Useful, Incredibly Simple and Explicative Videos about Many Things. For someone which have a Carbon Neutral Agenda and Practical Skills like you could benefit more than me... I am not Good At Making Things simply Putting.

Thanks. We are basically show casing the concept as a possibility in Africa. We can talk on email or communicate here, what clarifications are you seeking?

Is it possible to get diesel and fuel straight from the reactor without passing through the crude oil stage, if NO, how is the crude oil refined. Your response will be appreciated.

@@godswilluduakemmanson9752 yes you can. You can add another tank after the intial one which will collect the lighter fuel, while the denser fuels will condense in the first tank. There are more sophisticated ways that you can do it using fractional distillation.

@mutobangoma2099 thank you very much I appreciate your timely response

1 to 1

We source hpmc locally. We do require it for gel sanitizer

Within 5 minutes after reaching optimum operating temp.

It was a crude petroleum, not refined. we generated a lot of wax like parafin

@@mutobangoma2099 For getting diesel from plastic at low temperatures like 350 to 400 c, you have to add one chemical caled catalytic converter, add this chemical with plastic @1%, you can get results.

You can use as fuel for vehicles

@@bacemkbiri8877 Yes.

Does diesel run well in the Sirat engine. Does not cause engine wear over time

The project did not continue as we hoped, we were unable to get the heat required to crack the plastic and make diesel, we were just hot enough for a parafin wax. We stopped the plastic pyrolysis project to focus on biodiesel.

@@mutobangoma2099 to get the heat required you need to cover the reactor with a thick layer of ceramic fiber blanket (about 50mm for example), so as to reduce heat loss to the environment

@@conteibrahim1079 we have redesigned it, rebuilt it with a mild steel jacket. Its working much better

@@mutobangoma2099 wow great.Happy to hear that.Are you able to produce the different fractions; diesel, gasoline and kerosene?

Basically the whole process is supposed to take place in a sealed vessel and then heated to the operating temperatures. the Plastic waste inside the vessel will smolder and produce smoke in the absence of oxygen. the occurring smoke is led through a condenser to condense the smoke into usable fuel.

Hello, what kind of help? Your email address does not work

I can design this machine find me [email protected]

I second you Kakoma. It's a very brilliant idea, however the excess heat can be used elsewhere either upstream or downstream of the process. Thanks Mutoba Ngoma for sharing this it is very eye opening.
