Abstract
Energy is the most dynamic driving force of modern civilization. It is an irrefutable truth that industrialization is raised by energy consumption. Fossil fuel having limited reserve is not an ultimate solution of energy source. This paper addresses an experimental study of a new propagation of energy that can be a good support of fossil energy as well as meet the environmental concern. Waste plastic get rid of Thermosettings polymers and PET has been effectively converted into liquid fuel and it can be a great alternative source of energy. The process utilizes the unhygienic disposal waste plastic and makes them ecofriendly. Petrochemicals are the main source of polymer. In absence of oxygen using Al2O3 and ZnO as catalyst, the plastic wastes are heated up to 3500C-4500C temperature into a stainless steel reactor and the gaseous stream were condensed and collected in receiving chamber. Performance and property tests are conducted of the derived fuel. ASTM test result showed zero sulfur contents resulting high performance and environmentally friendly at the same time. The experiment has been conducted with highest standards of safety, quality, reliability and environmental sustainability in converting hydrocarbon fuel of this locality.
