3. INTRODUCTION
• Waste To Energy Is The Process Of Generating energy In The Form Of
Electricity, Heat Or Fuel.
• It Is A Form Of Energy Recovery.
• Most Waste To Energy Processes Produce Energy Directly Through
Combustion Or Produce A Combustible Fuel Commodity Such As
Methane, Methanol, Ethanol Or Synthetic Fuel.

4. WHAT IS PLASTIC ?
• The Term “Plastics” Includes Materials Composed Of Various Elements
Such As Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Chlorine, And Sulphur.
• It Is One Of The Few New Chemical Materials Which Pose
Environmental Problem.
• Polyethylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polystyrene Is Largely Used In The
Manufacturing Of Plastics.

5. WHY DO WE NEED TO CONVERT WASTE INTO
FUEL ?.
• According To A Recent Study Performed By The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Approximately Billion Of Tons Of Waste
Plastic Are Generated In The World Every Year.
• Statistics Show That Approximately 10% Of This Plastic Is Recycled,
25% Is Incinerated And The Remaining 65% Is dumped In Landfills.
• The Cost Of Waste Plastic Management Is Around $2800/Ton Of Waste
Plastics.
• The Method Of Converting The Polymers Present In The Waste Plastics
Into Fuel.

6. SOURCES OF PLASTIC

7. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ON DISPOSAL OF
PLASTIC WASTE
• Plastic Pollute Beaches & Oceans.
• Plastic Bags Litter The Landscape.

8. .Plastic Kills Animals
• Burning Of Plastics Generates Toxic Emissions Such As Carbon Monoxide,
Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid, Amines, Nitrides, Styrene, Benzene And
Acetaldehyde.

9. PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT

12. CONVERSION OF PLASTICS WASTE O INTO
LIQUID FUEL
 The Entire Process Is Undertaken In Closed Reactor Vessel Followed By
Condensation, If Required.
 Waste Plastics While Heating Upto 2700 To 3000 C Convert Into
Liquid-vapour State, Which Is Collected Incondensation Chamber In The
Form Of Liquid Fuel.
 The Tarry Liquid Waste Is Topped-down From The Heating Reactor
Vessel.
 The Organic Gas Is Generated Which Can Be Used In Dual Fuel Diesel
Generator Set For Generation Of Electricity.

13. ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC PYROLYSIS PLANT
• Safe- Hydroseal And Vacuum System Prevent Exhaust Gas From
Going Back To Condensor And Reactor. Thus Unnecessary Accident
Can Be Avoided.
• High Efficiency- It Consist Of Tubular Condensor That Has The
Features Of Larger Cooling Area And Better Cooling Effect Which
Improve The Oil Yield Efficiency.

14. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROCESS
• Recycles Energy Of Waste Plastics Into Usable Fuel.
• Offers Renewable Energy Source.
• Eliminates Hazards Of Land Pollution By Waste Plastic.
• The End Products Can Be Used For Generating Electricity.

15. APPLICATIONS IN REAL WORLD
• Fuel Is Utilized In Heavy Oil Generators For Generating Electricity.
• Used In Refining Factories For Additional Processing.
• It Also Serve As Heating Material In Variety Of Processes.
• This Fuel Can Be Used In Many Factories For E.G. Electricity, Ceramic
Industries Among Others To Facilitate The Production Processes.

17. CONCLUSION
• The World’s Annual Consumption Of Plastic Materialshas Increased
From Around 5 Million Tonnes In The 1950’s To Nearly 100 Million
Tonnes;thus,20 Times More Plastic Is Produced Today Than 50 Years
Ago.
• Plastic Waste Recycling Is One Of The Most Established Recycling
Activities In Economically Developed Countries And Developing
Countries As Well As It Generates Resources And Provides Jobs.
• Heavy Imports In The Field Of Petroleum Can Be Reduced By
Converting The Waste Plastics To Fuel. This Increase The Economic
Stability.
• Such A Project Would Be A Great Boon To Our Economy.
