Resumo(s)

The conventional recycling technology to process waste plastic, mechanical recycling, is not suitable to recycle waste thermoplastic with high content of contamination. Pyrolysis is a promising technology since it can convert into valuable products, such as fuels and monomers. This study focused on the design of the pyrolysis equipment for waste plastic based on polyolefins. The feeder of waste plastic is a worm screw conveyor that will be in a pre-heating system. The batch reactor has support for catalyzer and can operate between 300 up to 600 ºC with attached induction system for heating. The output flows into condenser in series to separate two liquid phases and gases, depending on its boiling point. The 3D model was done with SolidWorks, control system modelled in CADe SIMU and particle simulation with FloXpress.
