🌟 Petrogenium visited the Plastics Recyclers Europe Recycling Show Europe last week (19 June) right here in Amsterdam. Exciting talks from Neste and Axens shed light on developments in mixed plastics and waste recycling. 🔄 We also had the chance to connect with people at various stands. 🔍 A lot of focus and commitment on the chemical recycling of contaminated waste streams that are often not suitable for mechanical recycling. Processes like pyrolysis can afford recycled oils that can be used in stream crackers to produce new feedstocks for polymers. However pyrolysis, just like gasification and hydrothermal liquefaction of wastes, are never quite as easy or straightforward in practice. Chemical waste recycling often has technical challenges such as fouling, plugging, achieving stable and continuous process conditions and more. 🔬 Petrogenium can assist in debottlenecking a process and increasing unit availability by technology and engineering reviews of existing processes with tangible, actionable recommendations on process improvements.

Chemical recycling of plastic to oil and making green polymers is a faster and practical way as it does not have to face quality related challenges as in mechanical recycling
Please dm me with contact details etc . Thanks

2mo… to my friends of Petrogenium - to Colin in particular: … “however pyrolysis, just like gasification and HTL of waste…” …. I personally would not compare today’s pyrolysis technologies with gasification… there are a couple of key differences: - gasification is much more “feedstock” agnostic than pyrolysis… maybe because of its products slate: H2 and CO2 specs 😊 are easier to achieve than the ones of fuels or naphtha (see chlorinated hydrocarbons, oxygenates, unsats…)… we can co-gasify plastic waste, petcoke, biomass, resids… being agnostic to feedstock is a strong means to control its costs… - gasification is already continuous and super large scale… including the most difficult gasification - see for instance, the incredible, exceptional, phenomenal (technical at least) achievement of Reliance in Jamnagar, gasifying 29,000 tpd of petcoke to syngas/hydrogen - replacing the refinery fuel gas system that contains 700 ktpa of C2=!… now run down to the refinery offgas cracker… I would be very interested to learn more about the tech developments of Neste and Axens on plastic waste recycle… we need such technology leaders to step change our efforts and results in terms of sustainable end of life of plastics…
