[Stoves] a bit more on turning plastic into fuel..Its rather well known and really applicable to us as stove and biofuels makers

[tmiles at trmiles.com]

We have worked on a few tire conversion plants that technically worked but
failed as businesses. We built an industrial plant to convert film plastic
to oil which my client shipped by the truckload to a refinery until crude
oil prices dropped from $100/bbl to $40/bbl. At the time there were about
three similar plants in the US. These are small but complex industrial
chemical plants. They were very expensive for their capacity. I don’t know
of any plastic to oil plants that are operating at this time.

Dear Richard

I thought the big deal was turning plastic (bottles etc) into a liquid fuel?
I saw that marketed several times as the latest thing.

The gas fuel I wasn't following. Is it just a different temperature?

One of the guys in Bishkek built a copy of the KG4 stove with a chamber
heated by the flame, and put chunks of tires in it to 'make a combustible
gas' that was fed into the latter portion of the flame. His plan was to
liquefy it, which happens quite easily. ‎There is a great deal of energy in
a tire. Heating a tire produces an oil that can be sold to recycling
companies.

Crispin



Teddy Kinyanjui's recent attached article ref. plastics conversion to
gaseous fuel triggered a recollection fo a JApanese researcher a few years
back. A simple google search showed that it is progressing widely across our
shared planet; Its no longer new at all. Am surprised that the Kenyan
gentileman could even get a patent for it.
What is new is the fact that we we all know getting the temperature  up
while reducing oxygen pyrolizes then gassifies ordinary  plastic wastes
styrafoam included to carbon powder and releases a clean burning gaseous
fuel.

This is great opportunity to leap frog the whole negative  issue about
biomass fuels; Plastic containers are typically called the national flower
of much of the developing nations.

Am all ears ...
