Conceivable application

Our thermal decomposition plant, so-called ‘plastic to oil machine’, is used to manufacture liquid fuel, combustible gas, and carbonized products from waste plastics and crude-oil derived products.

These produced (recycled) energy resources can be distributed to energy demanded industries or any other purposes that requires power generation in developing countries.

Recent trend shows that there are growing needs from our customers to install our system to treat not only waste plastics but also E-waste, waste tire, waste toner and medical waste.

Competitive advantage

Simple machine operation
Concept of our machine is simple so that it is very easy for plant workers to understand and operate. Our machine is very simple but it is hard to be broken. Maintenance can be conducted without high level technical expertise. High level safety is maintained by adopting emergency stop system, forced cooling system and gas burning system.

Cost and energy saving machine
Because of the reasons mentioned in ‘Performance’ Section below, our machine can be operated efficiently by reducing the running cost and energy consumption of plant machine operation.

High quality production of heavy and light oil
Heavy oil and light oil generated by our plant machine can be used for power generation.

Performance

Batch process system
BP-2000N/5000N (Plastic to oil machine), is a batch process system so that it can be utilized for multiple purposes such as treatment of waste plastics, waste tires, waste fishing nets, medical wastes, and precious metal recovery from cellular phones. Also, our plant can treat chlorine-based and halogen-based hazardous substances. It is important to note that time to complete the decomposition process from waste plastics to oil is about 5-6 hours (Depending on the quality of waste plastics, it may take longer to complete the process).

Low tar oil production
High tar oil often causes usage issues for end-users (i.e. clogging of burner nozzle) so low tar oil production is highly regarded. With our plant machine, low tar oil can be produced by selecting a suitable catalyst based on what type of wastes to be treated.

Cost reduction and energy efficiency
Because our plant can be operated with a low fuel consumption, and liquid fuel produced is used as a heat source for the system, it is possible to effectively reduce running cost and energy consumption.

Two step gas cooling system
By utilizing two step gas cooling system, light oil and heavy oil can be recovered separately. During the liquidation stage for gas generated by thermal decomposition, heavy oil is extracted in the first step and light oil is extracted in the second step.

Safety
High level safety is achieved by adopting the following systems: 1). emergency stop system, which forces to stop the plant operation by filling nitrogen gas when in emergency, 2). forced cooling system, which prevents process of thermal decomposition by reducing the temperature of oven and catalyst layer with fresh air, and 3). gas burning system, which detoxify light gas (i.e. gas residue after thermal decomposition) by gas burning.

Modality of business transaction

Partnership
We are looking for local partners for setting up, commissioning and trial operation of our plant machine. We would send a supervisor from Japan to local plant site. In return, we would ask local partners to send their workers to the plant site. Eventually, we would like our local partners to operate and manage the plant site and also do the maintenance work for us.
