“…Previous research on reactor design for refining tires into oil illustrates tire pyrolysis in a tubular stainless steel batch reactor of diameter D = 0.48 m and height H = 0.99 m. The overall size of the reactor was 2.49 m, and the shield length was 0.61 m (Aziz, Al-khulaidi, Rashid, & Islam, 2016). The process was carried out with maximum liquid production.…”

The increase in population causes an increasing amount of solid waste, especially plastic waste. Plastic waste that cannot be decomposed in nature increases its number and causes environmental pollution. The research aimed to process plastic waste into alternative fuel oil using waste motor oil. The research methods consisted of designing a plastic waste processing device using waste motor oil as fuel and testing the device with a plastic burning process using a processing machine. The plastic waste processing device was produced in the form of a stove that functions to heat plastic waste fueled by waste motor oil using an electric blower to generate pressure into the reactor. The heating process produces steam flowing and processing in a distillation tube to produce oil. The resulting temperature was 140oC and could melt plastic waste, but there were still burning residues. The distillation produced two types of fuel oil, yellow and black.

“…Plastic waste generation has continued to increase in Nigeria over the last decade due to the growing population, rapid urbanization, and the increasing demand for sophisticatedly packaged fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Plastic has the advantages of easily forming, low cost, non-corrosive, durability, and lightweight, which had made embraced by most industries, including pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, for packaging their products, which eventually leads to more plastic waste generation [1].…”

Development and Performance Evaluation of a Fixed Batch-type Pyrolysis Reactor for Bio-oil Production from Plastic Wastes

A fixed bed batch-type bioreactor for pyrolyzing used or discarded plastic wastes was developed and its performance was evaluated. This research explored the option of converting the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) category of plastic wastes into useful bio-oil in the developed pyrolysis fixed-bed batch reactor. The developed 5 kg batch-type pyrolysis system powered by liquified petroleum gas (LPG) was designed and simulated with SolidWorks computer software to confirm its functionality, fabricated with locally sourced materials, and evaluated with HDPE plastic wastes sorted from dumpsites within the Akure metropolis. The developed reactor evaluation result justified that the pyrolysis reactor has the potential to produce 1.4575 kg of bio-oil per kilogram of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumed. The pyrolytic oil obtained at pyrolysis temperature between 280oC-520oC in this work was thereafter assayed for its composition and fuel properties analyses. The results of the characterization indicated that the pyrolysis of plastic HDPE wastes is a good source of alternative fuel as it shows proximity to the physiochemical characteristics of conventional diesel.

“…Every year, more than 1.5 million tons of tyres generated from different tires and tube industries around the globe (Machin et al, 2017) whereas Bangladesh produces about 120,000 tons per annum (Aziz et al, 2017). In Bangladesh, every year, approximately 20.5 million automobile tyres are scrapped which accounts for 37% of the total tyre garbage production of the country.…”

Scrap tyres, one of the most common solid wastes, are increasing with the increase of vehicles number all over the world. Gradual depletion of fossil fuel requires a rapid shift towards alternative fuel sources including wastes. Globally, a lot of pyrolysis oil is generated from the management of waste tyres. The product Tyre pyrolysis Oil (TPO) has a parametric effect on the temperature, feed size, and reaction or pyrolysis time. This study explores the conditions for optimum pyrolytic oil yield (42% wt.) which was 500 ºC for 50 minutes, with a sample size of 4 cm3. The obtained TPO were fractionated at various temperature ranges using a distillation column. The fuel characteristics of TPO, e.g., viscosity, flash point, pour point, calorific value, density, carbon residue are almost similar to that of the conventional oil standards but it cannot directly be used in the combustion process due to its higher sulfur content. For the removal of the sulfur compound, a various concentration ratio (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 percentages) of a mixture of H2O2 and HCOOH (2:1) solution (maintaining a pH of 4) were mixed with TPO. A maximum of 64.52% sulfur was removed from the TPO by using 25% of H2O2 + HCOOH solution and the pyrolysis gas was passed through the Ca(OH)2 solution for wet scrubbing of SO2, CO2 and water vapor. The fractionated TPO (based on temperature range) provides valuable products e.g., bio-gasoline, biodiesel and other desirable chemicals. The production and eco-friendly use of TPO and its fractionated products can mitigate the disposal problem of waste tyre and help the eco-system to attain a sustainable environment.
