Dow announced an agreement with the Fuenix Ecogy Group, based in Weert, The Netherlands, for the supply of pyrolysis oil feedstock, which is made from recycled plastic waste.
An environmental engineering expert has suggested that the government consider the 'fast pyrolysis' technology as a disposal method for the country's plastic waste.
The technology utilizes fast pyrolysis bio-oil from woody and non-woody biomass in a converted diesel engine, which has been chosen for its high electrical efficiency, which BTG says is more than 40 per cent.
In-situ pyrolysis, which has the advantages of fewer process flows, low cost and high extraction rate, is a newly developed oil shale technology that consists in injecting heat directly into underground oil shale through injection wells.
PETER Sunman (WM letters, February 3) is correct in stating that plastic waste may be destroyed by pyrolysis technology - but there are both logistical and contractual issues to overcome before it can be used.
