This document provides a review on pyrolysis technology. This technology is used to convert plastic or tire waste into pyrolysis oil. Pyrolysis oil can be used as an industrial fuel in turbines, diesel engines, boilers etc without further need of purification. This technology is implied by Pyrocrat Systems, founded by Suhas Dixit, based in Navi Mumbai India.

Pyrolysis and Energy Recovery
 Waste plastic contains energy of 3,000 to 8,500Kcal/kg.
 Energy content of
• Industrial plastic waste: 1.3Kg = 1lit of petrol
• MSW sorted out plastic: 10Kg = 1lit of petrol
 Pyrolysis plant converts waste plastic & tires into
Pyrolysis Oil, Carbon Black & Hydrocarbon Gas.

What is Pyrolysis
Pyro = Heat
Lysis = Breakdown

Pyrolysis: Raw material & Finished Products
 Raw material:
 Waste Plastic Sources:
 MSW, Industrial waste, Imported plastic (RDF)
 Finished Products:
 Pyrolysis Oil: Use as fuel to substitute industrial LDO
(Selling cost: 40 to 45 per lit)
 Carbon Black: Use as fuel to substitute industrial Coal
 Pyrolysis Gas: Used in Pyrolysis plant to heat reactor

Current Challenges Sustainability:
Energy Recovery from Plastic
 Environmental:
 Emissions – Latest Technology complies with emission
norms
 Carbon disposal – Use as replacement to coal
 Reuse of Hydrocarbon Gas – Safe storage and reuse
 Social:
 Waste collection and segregation system
 Improved safety with continuous type Pyrolysis plants
 Economic:
 Viability factors:
 Buying Cost of raw material is decreasing
 Selling Cost of pyro oil is increasing

Current Status of Pyrolysis Industry
 Sustainability is major challance
 PCB across India are closing down the
environmentally non- compliant Pyrolysis Plant
 Environmentally compliant Continuous type plastic
pyrolysis plants are operational in:
 Europe, USA, Canada, India
 Pyrocrat Systems has established 5 Plants of 9th
generation that are Sustainable
 Raw material quality control
 Content of: Moisture, PVC, Chemicals, non-plastic
 Unorganized scrap dealer market
