Save the Mother Earth from Waste Plastic Menace!
........ And Get Rewarded in Return!

Convert Waste Plastic into a Valuable Resource!

In the modern times, life without plastic cannot be imagined. However, since plastic does not get degraded naturally, its disposal has become a major issue, in both rural and urban areas alike. Not all types of plastics can be reused, nor the ones that can be reused can be recycled repeatedly due to associated practical problems. Also, there are problems of contamination affecting the quality of the product manufactured from such recycled plastics.

We at Atharva ProcTek have developed unique means to dispose any type of waste plastic by converting it into a valuable gas or liquid fuel. The process developed by Atharva ProcTek based on First Principles for this is a very compact, sturdy and environment friendly process. This process operates at near atmospheric pressure and is safe to operate. It can be custom designed based on the type and volumes of plastic materials that are to be handled, on desired manpower & automation and client’s budgetary needs. The FuelPlast™ process is self-sufficient in nature and is a net exporter of energy giving decent monetary returns. It is therefore no longer a mere conventional kabadi (rag pickers') business to deal with waste plastic.

As a rule of thumb, the process produces about one litre of hydrocarbon liquid from one kilogram of waste plastic. The liquid yield depends on the type of plastic, the operating conditions selected and the type of catalyst. The process produces residue to the tune of 3 to 5% (by weight) of waste plastics. The residue is rich in carbon and can be safely used as solid fuel or can be incinerated. The rest of the plastic is converted into gas. At the commercial scale of operation, the gas will be used for heating the process equipment.

In addition to waste plastic, the process can also handle a variety of biomass, paper and hospital waste; thus accounting for most municipal waste constituents.

The process has several energy conservation measures apart from utilizing the produced gas for heating the process equipment as mentioned above. The catalyst used in the process offers significantly long life; hence reducing its make-up quantities.

With Atharva ProcTek, ‘Waste Plastic is no longer scrap, it is a Valuable Resource’.
