Developing and Testing a Plastic Waste Pyrolysis Processing Set

Abstract

This research aims to design and develop a processing set for producing oil from plastic waste and to study the production time for converting plastic waste into oil. The study focuses on the production time using three types of plastics: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and Polypropylene (PP), with a quantity of 3 kilograms per experiment. Each experiment was conducted for 50, 60 and 70 minutes.

The production results from HDPE showed that at 50 minutes the oil yielded from the plastic was 53.67%, at 60 minutes, it was 59.67%, and at 70 minutes, it increased to 68%. For LDPE, at 50 minutes, the oil yielded was 56.67%, at 60 minutes, it was 59.33%, and at 70 minutes, it reached 62.33%. For PP, at 50 minutes, the oil yielded was 68%, at 60 minutes, it increased to 70.67%, and at 70 minutes, it remained at 70.67%.
