Generation Of Electricity From Plastics Via Pyrolysis Technique
Project Description :

Generation of electricity from plastics via pyrolysis technique with the onset of covid pandemic, the dumping of plastic waste is on high. oceans and lands are the dumping sites of plastics. it is well known fact that plastics is made up of various kinds of hydrocarbons. rather than wasting the hydrocarbons and depending more on the fossil fuels, plastics can be used as a resource to generate electricity. the reusing mentality of plastics is merely active thereby affecting the ecosystem. plastic pyrolysis is upcoming technology to extract the ingredient hydrocarbons in absence of air which may have gone unused. there have been many lab based output generating oil which is of diesel type texture. but the high temperature and more heat loss during the process pose a constraint to the efficiency of the system. a heat exchanger is the added new feature in this innovation to the solution of the problems mentioned. the flowchart of this innovation involves self pyrolysis technique with heat exchanger to get back the lost heat to the input, continuous process of hydrogen gas generation from the pyrolytic oil along with its storage, a sophisticated energy model to minimize the carbon deposition, designing of a fuel cell which generates electricity from the pyrolytic oil. the self pyrolysis decreases the input energy and also maintains the temperature ratio. the heat exchanger adds up the valuable heat from distillator, condenser to increase the temperature of the reaction. advantage of the innovation is that an addition of heat exchanger lessens the dependence of providing high temperature on external appliances. self pyrolysis acts as a feedback system which increases the efficiency of the system and multiplies the yield amount. the energy model designs the equilibrium constant to forward the reaction with optimum temperature and to evaluate the internal free energy of the pyrolytic oils so as to decrease further loss of energy. hydrogen gas is generated from the pyrolytic oils from reforming process. this innovation will compare various types of reforming process and evaluate pyrolytic oil type which gives peak yield output. this hydrogen gas is used as input along with oxygen to fuel cell to generate electricity. the advantage of fuel cell is less maintenance of moving parts, less energy loss and generation of dc voltage. various computations are evaluated for each section of the flowchart and compared. software computation is carried out for a continuous project layout. piping and instrumentation design (p&id) is also prepared for continuous depiction of the system. thus a sustainable model of electricity generation from the collected plastic waste in turn provides that area an ecosystem free from plastic waste and ample of local distributed current. this can overcome the problem of resource availability and electric density generation in any human habited area.
