Abstract |
The Global plastic production has reached up to 300 million tons in 2015,
and waste management has become a serious issue especially in middle and
low income countries such as Pakistan. Pakistan, which is producing 1.32 million
ton/year of plastic waste, is also facing the issue of environmental pollution as
well as unadequate waste dumping ability due to surge in urban population.
Among various waste management techniques, pyrolysis has been receiving
attention because it offers solution to two most critical problems, energy shortage
and environmental pollution. The main purpose of this paper is to produce fuel
oil by waste plastic through the pyrolysis process and its cost estimation. Waste
plastic decomposes in a various fraction of hydrocarbons catalytically at 400oC.
These hydrocarbons are separated through distillation columns and phase
separators as light and heavy fuel oil and wax. The economic analysis shows
that the estimated total capital investment required for a pyrolysis
