[@lappieslabuschagne2428]

This is not so easy an cheap as its made out to be. My plant consisting or a 2000 L steel container and coolers each of 200L set me back a pretty penny and that's not the boiler and pipe works. It produces approximately 100 to 130 L of diesel oil and 10% of that amount is petrol. You might spend about 10 -14 hrs depending on circumstances. I managed to get quite good quality petrol but the diesel oil is pretty shitty. The diesel works well, but it causes the injectors to clog up. What no one tells you is that the dark colour is caused by tar and carbon in the distilled product. The petrol (although very light yellow coloured) cause extreme carbon deposits in the engine and exhaust systems as well. The (feel) product turns darker and darker when left for a few days /weeks. The carbon/tar tends to settle at the bottom of the container but it seems that it's an ongoing reaction to darken. It has the tendency to dissolve some kinds of rubber and plastic pipes. Inshort, this is my experience with it.

[@HazelChem]

Thx for sharing your experience with this process, it will definitely help me improve my setup mfg hazelChem

[@mrlessismore7352]

This is good! Some thoughts: start heating the vessel before adding the feed stock. Let the plastic melt and begin shrinking inorder to fill the vessel to the maximum. I would weld those bolts to the flange, turning them into studs. How about super heating the distillate?

[@jackmclane1826]

Nice simple approach! But I'd expect serious clogging of your pipes because high boiling compounds that are tar-like semi solids at RT are driven off and condense in the pipes. This can be eliminated by superheating the gasseous product stream first. Thermal cracking on the way. At least this is what happened when I did something very similar. PVC should first distill off as HCl at quite low temperatures. Under 200°C. It should not create significant amount of chloroorganics there. But that process takes time. I sure like to see your paper! ;)

[@HazelChem]

Heyhey thanks for all your comments. I am no longer giving out the paper because I now (studying chemistry) find it lacking in many points. But in the future there will be more. And when I finished my work with the ME faculty I will make the blueprints of the new system avalible for everyone. mfg hazelChem

[@The7thDragonSpirit]

Yep, its pretty much the same principle the #plasticadios guys are using to build their plastic to fuel plants! Good job! :)

[@DinoPasic]

Idea is good, finally we have solution for plastic waste. 👍👍👍

[@DMahalko]

The bottom mating flange should have an indented slot for holding the gas sealing rope, with a matching raised lip on the upper flange to push down onto the rope in the slot. To use less energy, the waste heat from the condenser can be used to heat the supply fuel gas and/or heat the supply air to the burner. As part of the startup gas purge you should include a vacuum pump to draw it down and remove the nitrogen and oxygen. Use a shredder to break large pieces into small chunks. This will accelerate the dissolving of thick hard plastics. If you put the whole thing on a weight scale, you will know when the process is done because the reactor vessel stops becoming lighter.

​@@HazelChem May I ask what is halogenation plastic?

[@mrrussell2447]

Love your work! Had not heard of liquid tin for decarbonizing. Some of the papers I have read have used nickel or other catalysts to do this. Many have tried using the catalyst in the reactor, but a cleaner product might be able to be obtained by running the gases through hot catalysts. Some that I have heard of include silicon dioxide, copper, manganese dioxide, vanadium, etc. One of the things I wish to try is heating coins (made of cupronickel in the united states) and running the hot gases through those.

[@piranha031091]

Well that's a change from your usual glassware! 6:29 : Please don't run it on PVC. You could make small amounts of dioxins. They're easily absorbed through the skin, and become a severe health hazard at parts per billion levels. Look at what happened in Times Beach : 30 ppm *in the soil* was enough to cause horses and birds to die off. Same in Seveso where a few micrograms of dioxin per square meter of topsoil were sufficient to cause a mass die-off of the local fauna, and hundreds of cases of chloracne in people. I don't know how you plan to analyze the results, but I'd be surprised if it is sensitive enough to detect dioxins before they are a severe threat. As far as I know, the only satisfactory technique to avoid their formation in waste incineration is to do it at high enough temperatures with an excess of oxygen to ensure complete oxidation of organic compounds. That's obviously not going to be the case with your setup, since you're running it in the absence of oxygen. So, yeah. Just stay away from halogenated cr*p, as much as possible. It's never good...

[@HazelChem]

well thx for your concerns i will consider them ! mfg hazelChem

Can you purge the chamber by dumping a box of sodium bicarbonate in the bottom, the heat would hit that first and so produce CO2 pushing all of the air up and out before the plastic has even melted?

[@BothHands1]

Amazing video! How much do you think you'd need to scale up this process in order for it to break even on cost? I'm assuming that fractionating all the product would take some work. So you would do column chromatography in order to determine constituents, and with that information you could find the proper temps to separate your products with an ordinary distillation apparatus? Very interested in seeing more :) If this process can become profitable, there might be incentive for "mining" plastics from our oceans, simultaneously cleaning our oceans and producing oil w/o having to drill miles underwater.

[@HazelChem]

well the process would need to be done on a industrial scale like tons an hour .... and at first i am doing a simpel distilation to seperate the paraffines and the liquid then the liquid components are fractionated in 10°C fractions to see of which boiling sector how much is present mfg hazelChem
