Abstract:
In this presentation PAC will address the emerging use of waste plastic pyrolysis oil as an alternative feedstock in the petrochemicals industry. In a world increasingly focused on sustainable practices & circular economy solutions, our practical approach offers promising alternatives for a greener future. Our research presents a comprehensive framework covering leading methods such as ASTM D5443, D7500, D86, D7345, GC x GC, D4629, D5453, and D5762.
Promising results have been obtained from our studies. By leveraging GC x GC & frontend-Reformulyzer, we successfully achieved olefins separation for heavy fractions. Additionally, our mini distillation offerings, as a quick and efficient technique requiring only 10 mL of sample, facilitated distillation within 10 minutes opening new doors for process engineers to optimize their units. Simulated distillation highlighted intrinsic properties of waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) samples, revealing high paraffinic content and entrained heavy ends in light cuts enabling researchers for screening studies of various samples. Traditional distillation also successfully performed paving the way to secure product quality in the best efficient way for manufacturers. Elemental analysis were done for a better understanding of the purity of the samples which is one of the biggest challenges of the industry as an impediment against the dissemination of this emerging technology. These findings contribute to a better understanding of waste plastic pyrolysis oil characteristics, allowing for informed decision-making.
Our pursuit of innovation & uptime & efficiency drives these advancements. By harnessing the potential of WPPO and these refined methodologies, the industry can actively contribute to a more responsible future. Join us in shaping a brighter and more efficient path for the petrochemical sector powered by plastic circularity.
