Plastic-to-Diesel: Continuous Conversion for Clean Fuel
A System Along with Catalyst for Converting Waste Polyolefins to Automotive Grade Diesel by Continuous Process
Tags: CSIR Labs, India, Transportation & Automotive, Energy & Environment
CSIR-Indian Institute of Pertroleum [CSIR-IIP]: This invention describes a system and catalyst designed to convert waste polyolefins into automotive-grade diesel through a continuous process. The process involves melting and decomposing waste plastics in a non-aerobic atmosphere, followed by secondary cracking, aromatization, and online fractionation to produce diesel. The system also recirculates gases for efficient reactor heating and catalyst decoking. Applications include converting plastic waste into usable fuel, reducing environmental pollution, and providing a sustainable energy source.
