Plas2Fuel, which recently received the Department of Environmental Quality air quality permit required to begin its recycling activities at the Tigard site, uses a batch process to convert about 10 pounds of waste plastic into a gallon of synthetic sweet crude oil.

"We run our showcase facility around the clock," said Chris Ulum, Agilyx CEO. "The oil we make pays for it."

The company's technology has captured the attention of organizations such as TechAmerica Oregon which awarded the company with its "cool product of the year" award in May.

Investors in Plas2Fuel include Chrysalix of British Columbia; Reference Capital of Portland; and Saffron Hill Ventures of London.

Agilyx, a privately-held alternative energy company, converts mixed waste plastics into synthetic crude oil and other valuable petrochemical products.

The Patented Agilyx Process
Our process is relatively simple. Forced air, heated by a gas burner, is used to indirectly heat the feedstock inside the process vessel. The air is continually recycled in a loop to minimize heat loss.

The process vessel is isolated from oxygen and is exposed to a negative pressure (vacuum) environment. The energy transferred to the plastic feedstock from the burner is used to depolymerize, or "crack", the plastic into synthetic crude oil.

Oil is chromatographically removed from the waste plastic and aggregated from several vessels for on-site micro-refinement or sent to existing commercial refinement facilities.

Waste products are recycled for energy usage (gases), treated and reused or disposed (liquids), or made available for commercial use (solids).
