Which prototype?

The prototype works NOW.

This is it..saved till last!

Plastic2Oil benchtop machine (basic unit made in Japan by Blest) – we modified it to quickly test our catalyst in small quantities. We added a feeder (1kg, and a nitrogen purge (clear tube to machine). We load the feedstock (plastic) in the hopper and purge with nitrogen into the main tank (with our catalyst). The gas from the main tank then travels through a tube to a water tank. The water tank is a simple way to cool the gas and collect the oil (on the water). We can then test the water and the oil. There are 3 valves on the water tank. One to add water, one to takeoff the oil and there is a valve for C1-C4 (propane gas).

This simple lab unit allows us to test our catalyst in small quantities to get the best possible mix. Then we can scale it for the large processor. The original unit (as designed in Japan) does not use a catalyst and is highly inefficient (energy wise) so making oil without a catalyst is not profitable.

Our large volume processor uses a large 15MT tank with an agitator. It also does not use water “directly” to cool the gas – i.e.: water does not come into contact with the gas or fuel. In our large processor, we use industry standard condensers that are water cooled. The cooling water is isolated from the rest of the system and is recycled entirely. There is no effluent.
