Hydrocarbon liquefaction process for plastic waste

Transform plastic waste into valuable liquid hydrocarbons with a continuous conversion process, optimizing waste management and recycling efficiency in industrial operations.

The CARBOLIQ Hydrocarbon Liquefaction System from CARBOLIQ GmbH is engineered for continuous and efficient conversion of plastic waste into usable liquid alternatives. This system utilizes a unique single-stage process blending thermal, catalytic, and mechanochemical methods, operating under atmospheric pressure with temperatures below 400°C. It is ideal for applications in waste management and recycling, processing solid plastic waste and hydrocarbon feedstocks into liquid outputs and substitute fuels. The system operates at an industrial scale with a nominal capacity of 2.5 kilotons per annum, integrating seamlessly into existing recycling operations. Certified under ISCC-Plus sustainability criteria, it minimizes environmental impact by significantly reducing gaseous emissions and optimizing the use of process energy through friction-based input. Designed for continuous operation, it suits the robust demands of recycling facilities and waste management companies, offering customization and engineering support to fit specific operational requirements.
