Is it possible to change plastic into diesel fuel？

In our daily life and in all areas of agricultural production, plastic products are ubiquitous. When the life or purpose of these products is reached, they are discarded and become waste plastics. These waste plastics contain a lot of energy, so can refined into diesel. It not only solves the problem of waste plastics, but also produces available diesel resources.

Because most of the plastic is extracted from petroleum, it can be converted to diesel by a pyrolysis and distillation process. So how to change plastic into diesel fuel?

Firstly, the waste plastics need to be converted into crude oil by the pyrolysis equipment. The specific process is to put the waste plastics in a closed reactor and then heat the bottom. The plastic will evaporate into oil gas in an oxygen-free environment with increasing temperature. The oil gas passes through the condenser behind and is liquefied into crude oil. This process does not involve any chemical reagents and is a physical reaction.

The second step requires oil distillation equipment to convert crude oil into diesel. Firstly, the crude oil is evaporated into oil gas in an anaerobic environment, and the oil gas enters the condensers and is liquefied into gas oil. Next, it entered the oil washing process. This part requires the addition of chemical reagents to decolorize and degumming. At this time, the diesel oil is already relatively clear diesel. If you want better diesel, you can use the activated clay to filter further. The diesel at this time is a good quality diesel. Can be applied to diesel generators, ships, diesel burners, trucks, etc.

This method to change plastic into diesel fuel has been widely applied to most countries and regions, bringing huge economic benefits to the local area and reducing the environmental impact of waste plastics as well.
