Tuesday October 27, 2020
A UK firm has is promoting a way to turning waste plastic into fuel oil.
The firm behind the innovation, QMRE, is the UK distributor for WASTX Plastic P Series plants.
These plants, which are produced by German firm Biofabrik, use pyrolysis technology which is held in modular format in shipping containers.
A prototype of the plant was completed last year. By-products from the process of de-polymerisation are carbon ash and heavy fuel oil.
The UK firm's managing director, Tim St Clair-Pearce, told local news provider Kent Online that the process can produce a litre of oil and a kilowatt of electricity from a kilogram of waste plastic.
QMRE is based in Tonbridge, Kent.
