Pyrolysis is one of the common strategies for converting plastics to fuel. The essential steps in the pyrolysis of plastics, outlined by Jesse Klinkhamer of Klean Industries, involve:
- Purging - oxygen from pyrolysis chamber,
- Evenly - heating the plastic to a narrow temperature range without excessive temperature variations
- Pyrolising - the plastics
- Catalytic conversion - of the gases to specific carbon chain lengths
- Managing - the carbonaceous char by-product before it acts as a thermal insulator and lowers the heat transfer to the plastic
- Careful - condensation and fractionation of the pyrolysis vapors to produce fuels of excellent quality and consistency
- Removal - of sulfurs and residual contaminants
