INTRODUCTION
DUE TO ITS NON-BIODEGRADABLE NATURE ,THE PLASTIC WASTE CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE PROBLEM OF MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT .
RECYCLING SYSTEM IS THE MOST COMMON METHOD REFLECTING IN TODAY’S WORLD. LIQUEFACTION OF PLASTIC IS A SUPERIOR METHOD OF REUSING THIS RESOURCE. THE OUTPUT PRODUCT IS AN EXCELLENT FUEL AND MAKES THERMO FUEL ONE OF THE BEST ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE RECYCLING SYSTEM OF TODAY. THERMO FUEL DIESEL CAN BE USED IN ANY DIESEL ENGINE,VEHICLES & GENERETORS.
PLASTICS
Plastics are natural / synthetic materials .
They are produced by chemically modifying natural substances or are synthesized from inorganic and organic raw material, on the basis of their physical characteristics ,plastics are usually divided into thermosets ,elastomers and thermoplastics .
These groups differ primarily with regard to molecular structure , which is what determines their differing thermal behavior .
PROJECT WORK
RAW MATERIALS
Waste plastics.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
Take1 kg of waste plastics of some kind [ldpe,hdpe] cut it into piece and dry it .
The waste plastic is put inside the reactor after drying it.
The reactor must designed to withstand high temperature of about 3500c-400oc.
It has an inlet at the top for collecting the vapour.
Start the burner for heating the reactor and measure the temperature .
When the temperature reaches 150oc the vapour start to come down to the
Condenser.
PROJECT WORK
The heating is continued for about 11/2 hours till the vapour stop collecting.
After 1 or 11/2 hrs the plastics are decomposed.
At the time larger carbon molecules are break into smaller molecules.
There is no need of using catalyst for the process.
The top of the reactor inlet is connected with the spiral condenser where the
vapours are condensed.
Finally the fuel from condensed vapours are collected .
Approximately 700ml of thermo fuel will be collected from per kg of waste plastics.
Thermocouple is used to measure high temperature .
OUTPUT
SAMPLE:THERMOFUEL FROM WASTE PLASTIC

advantages
Corrosion is less.
Cheaper and quality fuel.
No need of engine modification.
Residue can be used as paraffin wax.
Less amount of residue and large amount of product.
CONVERTING WASTE PLASTIC INTO FUEL IN INDIA
A plant, Unique Plastic Waste Management & Research Co Pvt Ltd, was set up at the industrial estate in Nagpur in 2004.
Industrial units in the area are running
their captive power plants on this fuel and are happy with its pricing and performance.
The fuel is priced at Rs30 per litre.
COMPARISON
Engine output is nearly as much as produced by other fuels.
A test drive on a Kinetic Honda gave a mileage of 44 km/liter on plastic fuel as compared to 44.4km/liter on petrol.
It accelerated from 0 to 60 km in 18 seconds against 22.5 seconds on petrol
Conclusion
The production of thermofuel from waste plastics is one of the better methods to save the environment profitably. The collected fuel had been tested in C.P.C.L.[REASERCH AND DEVELOPMENT] and the sample test result have been enclosed with this report which shows its stability in this world as a fuel. I here by conclude that my project will be a pillar to save the environment and source for fuel.
