Polypropylene Waste Plastic into Light Fractional Gasoline Grade Fuel for Vehicle by using Two Step Thermal Processes

Plastics are an integral part of our modern life and are used in almost all daily activities. Since plastics are synthesized from non-renewable sources and are generally not biodegradable, waste plastics are the cause of many of the serious environmental problems the world faces today. However, waste plastics can become a source of enormous energy with the correct treatment. According to a recent study performed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approximately 48 million tons of waste plastic are generated in the USA alone, to be specific PETE-1 (10%), HDPE-2 (19%), PVC-3 (6%), LDPE-4 (23%), PP-5 (14%), PS-6 (9%) and Other-7 (19%). Statistics show that approximately 10% of this plastic is recycled, 25% is incinerated and the remaining 65% is dumped in landfills. Established technology can convert waste plastics into a renewable source of hydrocarbon fuel. This technology plans to acquire waste plastics from City / Local Municipalities and Recycling Facilities. For plastic fuel production purposes the plastics can be collected as commingled or separated into different categories. Another source of large amounts of waste plastic is floating on our oceans and seriously damaging the ecosystem and the environment. Recent studies show that approximately 100 million tons of waste plastic are floating on the Pacific Ocean, creating an island that stretches over an area twice the size of Texas. These waste plastics can be collected using collection vessels. The waste can then be converted into hydrocarbon fuel either in the collection vessel itself or in off-shore facilities, using established technology.
