Pyrolysis heats up carbon-based materials in the absence of oxygen – sometimes using a catalyst of some kind in addition to heat – to decompose them into other products. Pyrolyzing plastics generally produces a liquid fuel, a gas product, ash, char and some other byproducts. The resulting liquid fuel can be refined into a variety of different fuels such as gasoline or diesel, while the syngas can be burned to drive a generator.

Systems are based on 20 ton modules designed to convert approximately 6,200 tons of mixed waste plastic annually, specifically targeting polyethylene and polypropylene, to produce in excess of 3.1 million gallons of liquid fuel including diesel. Plastic waste is continuously treated in a cylindrical chamber and the pyrolytic gases condensed in a specially-designed condenser system to yield predominantly straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with little formation of by-products.
