QM Recycled Energy (QMRE) has an effective, efficient solution using tried and tested – but little utilised – technology that will help reduce the effects of plastic pollution waste at the same time as providing lucrative investment and new business opportunities. Using the proven technology of pyrolysis, QMRE will take the mountains of plastic waste and return it to its natural state – oil. This will be further processed turning it into new and almost infinitely renewable plastic thereby reducing the requirement for virgin plastics from fossil fuels.Working hand-in-hand with German specialist manufacturer Biofabrik, QMRE has trialled and refined the WASTX systems to meet the necessary environmental specifications of the UK market. A fully operational demonstration model – the P250 – has been specified, constructed, trialled and tested and has now been shipped to the UK where it is in daily operation at QMRE’s Kent site enabling operators in the plastic waste services industry to see for themselves how plastic waste can be turned into a valuable commodity – oil.
We are demonstrating an old technology with a completely fresh approach. The process is cleaner than anything similar that proceeded it, both fast and efficient and self-powered. This is the best current solution for using plastic waste recycling to create a useful commodity – it is modular and it will go to where the problem is – it is plug and play.
The compact and fully automated WASTX Plastic P5000 system converts up to 5000 kg of plastic per day into polyolefin fraction, and, subsequently, cost-effectively into 5000 litres of usable oil.
The substrate is pyrolysed and the oil vapours condensed, solid residues discharged and pyrolysis gases used or combusted in the GenSet generator.
The product condensate can be used in suitable combustion engines for energy generation or refined in a WASTX Oil plant by fractionation into heavy, medium and light condensates.
The plants are installed in containers and are suitable for the expansion of existing recycling plants and for the fast, space-saving installation of a complete WASTX system.
The system is designed for polyolefin waste as the dominant material flow.
Biofabrik were permitted to burn off excess gases in Germany, but QMRE worked to provide additional branded products to convert and clean waste gases to usable energy. The introduction of active carbon cleaning of the gases into a GenSet ‘Otto style’ generator (a diesel motor with spark plugs) combusts the gas with a vastly reduced amount of diesel.
To meet the requirements of the UK regulatory bodies QMRE specified a number of changes to the basic design of the system more suited to UK plastic recycling services.
