I have seen this process like a lay man in the CSIR Technofest 2010, showcased by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, at India International Trade Fair during November 14-27, 2010 New Delhi, India and understand that a technology is available for the plastic wastes and convert into petrol, diesel and petrochemicals.
When I asked person concerned about the technology, he explained wastes of plastics like carry bags which is presently creating big mess to many governments. Some governments imposed ban on carry bags in some cities. I have seen somewhere in fair also, plastic bags are banned and buy jute bags like that.
What is the novelty in this technology is converting plastic waste into wealth like petrol, diesel or petrochemicals. If anybody wants this technology, they can contact Indian Institute of Petroleum, P O IIP, Mohkampur, Dehradun 248005, Uttarakhand, India. This is under the aegis laboratory of CSIR.
Novelty of this technology
Exclusive production of any one of the products like Gasoline or diesel or aromatics along with LPG
Liquid fuel (gasoline and diesel) meeting standard fuel specifications of Euro III
Plastic wastes may be collected from the local municipal government departments or in some organization like NGOs (non government organization) with or without cost. Initially these wastes will be cleaned with water in a tank. After cleaning, they will apply the technology with a catalyst which is secret of technology. Converting waste into wealth has three options, one is one kilograms of waste give 700 gasoline plus some LPG, Second option into Diesel 850 ml with some LPG and third option into petrochemicals 500 ml (like Benzene, Tolune, Xylenes) with some LPG.
