Ecomation - Dry Distillation Process Waste Plastics and Rubber
Ecomation’s process lines reverse through its dry distillation process waste plastics and rubber into valuable raw materials.
Plastic waste feed example
- 10.000 ton/year plastic waste feed
Approximate offtake from production in share of input material - 7.000 Mt light fuel oil
- 2.500 Mt NCG gas (can be used as Biogas) (ca 2,6 milj m3)
- 500 Mt carbon
Process electricity energy consumption 250 kwh (+40 kwh, shredding) per processed ton
Scrap tires feed example
- 10.000 ton/year, scrap tires Approximate offtake from production in share of input material
- 4.500 Mt light fuel oil
- 500 Mt NCG gas (can be used as Biogas) (ca 0,5 milj m3)
- 4.000 Mt carbon
- 1.000 Mt steel
Process electricity energy consumption 250 kwh (+40 kwh, shredding) per processed ton
- Continues operation 24/7 (no cooling and reheating cycles)
- Zero emissions, no chimney (closed processes)
- Energy efficiency (250 kwh/processed Mt)
- Safety (maximum 5mbar operational pressure, no opening of equipment releasing oxygen to process)
- Process scalability
- Automated operation (minimized staff costs)
- Profitability (ROI commonly under 4 years)
Ecomation has since 2007 developed solutions to capture valuable raw materials from urban waste, with dry distillation (pyrolysis) technology. The challenge of the traditional processes has been safety, equipment life span, energy efficiency, emissions and operational profitability. These main challenged has been addressed through extensive development, testing, trial and errors, resulting in a number of global patents and prestigious awards.
