Abstract

The rate of economic expansion is unsustainable if fossil resources like coal, natural gas, and crude oil are not conserved. Alternatives to fossil fuels include biomass, hydropower, and wind energy. Another important component is having a robust waste management system. Development and modernization have resulted in a huge increase in overall production, which indirectly produces trash. Plastics are one of the materials with the most applications due to their adaptability and low price. Our project focuses on the production of Plastic Pyrolyzed Oil, which may be sold for a lot less money than what is already on the market, by extracting OIL/DIESEL from waste plastics. As is well known, petroleum fuels and plastics are both hydrocarbons, which are substances that contain both carbon and hydrogen. Presently, waste-to-energy delivery of biofuel to replace fossil fuel is a possibility thanks to pyrolysis technology. Pyrolysis has the advantage of handling dirty and unsorted plastic. The material doesn't need much pre-treatment. Plastic needs to be sorted and dried. Pyrolysis, as opposed to incineration, also doesn't emit any harmful or hazardous gases.
