Design of Plastic bottles to Fuel Conversion Reverse Vending Pyrolysis system using AI

. Shiraz Afzal and Razia Zia


Abstract

The use of plastics, domestically and industrially, has substantially increased over the past two decades, subsequently increasing the risks of environmental pollution. The contributing factors to this increased use of plastics are its light weight, cost effectiveness, versatility and durability. Different polymers with additives are used in making high strength plastics which also makes it difficult to recycle these plastics. Non-recycled plastics creates a severe threat to the environment and the marine life. Pyrolysis method for converting plastic to fuel has emerged as a popular and efficient method of recycling plastics.  This paper presents a system, the pyrolysis plant that is designed to convert plastic to fuel. The main objective is to design a system that will process pet bottles to form fuel. This system is also less harmful to the environment as the pyrolytic chamber is sealed so the residue carbon black settles down at the bottom of the chamber.
